Examines the works of seven Adirondack writers.
Aims to recover the buried reputation of one of America's most popular writers from 1873 to 1914.
This book is the first to examine the literary responses of women who lived a significant part of their lives in the Adirondacks. Through the works of seven Adirondack writers, it creates literary and theoretical contexts for these authors by focusing on the links between the landscape and the female imagination.

Those involved in the study of literature, women's studies, or local history will find this volume a fresh contribution to the growing body of knowledge regarding gender-and-writing and writer-and-region. At the same time, this book offers an engaging literary rendition for the casual reader and wilderness enthusiast.

Although structured in a genealogical format for the sake of clarity, this is no bare bones genealogy but a true family history with over 1,200 detailed biographical narratives. T...
