Constance Fenimore Woolson (1840-1894), who contributed to Henry
James's conception of his heroine Isabelle Archer of The Portrait
of a Lady, was one of the most accomplished American writers of the
nineteenth century. The best known (and most misunderstood) facts
of her life are her relationship with James and her suicide in
Venice. Uncovering new sources, Anne Boyd Rioux provides a fuller
picture of Woolson's life, her fight against depression, her
sources for her writing and her capacity for love and joy. As an
expatriate in Europe, Woolson explored women's thwarted ambitions
while challenging the foremost male writers of her era. Rioux
reveals an exceptional artist who pursued and received serious
recognition despite the stigma attached to female authors.
