This seminal study reveals how Constance Fenimore Woolson
participated in debates on nineteenth-century political topics
considered the province of men. She commented on the most important
issues of her time: monetary policy, post-Reconstruction legal
decisions, racial justice and interracial marriage, women’s
rights, religious hypocrisy, environmental destruction,
destabilizing international developments, and the moral character
of the nation. The innovative essays in this book introduce her
techniques and the political concerns that inspired her complicated
art, encouraging scholars to begin the process of rereading and
reanalyzing Woolson’s oeuvre to understand the compelling
allegories and satires she created. The oppositional, intertextual,
and referential techniques she developed allowed her to enter
contested political conversations about compelling
nineteenth-century problems like few women of her century,
sometimes making her work political commentary as much as fiction.
