In The Heroines of Henry Longfellow: Domestic, Defiant, Divine, Timothy E. G. Bartel provides a survey of Longfellow’s major heroines, placing them in the context of Longfellow’s body of work and the poet’s interests in theology, politics, and history. Though Longfellow’s heroines have sometimes been dismissed as mere domestic caricatures, Bartel argues that Longfellow’s heroines are nothing of the sort. Instead, they provide us with unique pictures of how one’s individual talents and desires can be harmonized with the Christian ideals of communal justice, ethical living, and ultimate union with the Divine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: Lives Infused with Light\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter One: The Early Heroines: Preciosa, The Teacher, The Quadroon Girl\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Two: Evangeline: The First Masterpiece\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Three: The Middle Heroines: Elsie, Nokomis, Minnehaha, Priscilla\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Four: Interlude: The Perspicacity of Beatrice\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Five: The Later Heroines: Edith, The Mother, Elizabeth\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Six: The Last Heroine: Vittoria Colonna\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Seven: Domestic, Defiant, or Divine?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBibliography\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042009645399,"sku":"9781666913064","price":62.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781666913064.jpg?v=1750952607","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-heroines-of-henry-longfellow-domestic-defiant-divine-9781666913064","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
