None
Narrates the true account of two economically disadvantaged Oneida County, New York, women, educated at Oneida Seminary, Oneida, New York, who overcame adversity through education, resolve, and faith. A select school was first established at their homestead in Verona, N.Y., removed to New Hartford, N.Y., in 1876, and returned to Verona in 1883. Eunice Hale Toll was assisted by her sister Theodosia Toll Foster, who was the locally known authoress Faye Huntington. Docia co-authored books on temperance and virtues with her best friend Isabella MacDonald Alden, known as the authoress Pansy. This book also briefly addresses the issues of the last half of the 19th century: women's rights, temperance, and the import of the W.C.T.U., and includes a documented history of the Home School for Girls, a partial student list, and a critique of Faye Huntington's literary work.
In its first edition Dictionary of Literary Pseudonyms established itself as a comprehensive dictionary of pseudonyms used by literary writers in English from the 16th century to the present day. This new Second Edition increases coverage by 35%! There are two sequences: Part I - which now includes more than 17,000 entries- is an alphabetical list of pseudonyms followed by the writer's real name. Part II is an alphabetical list of writers cited in Part I-more than 10,000 writers included-providing brief biographical details followed by pseudonyms used by the wrter and titles published under those pseudonyms. Dictionary or Literary Pseudonyms has now become a standard reference work on the subject for teachers, student, and public, high school, and college/universal librarians. The Second Edition will, we believe, consolidate that reputation.
Reprint of the original, first published in 1901.
