Sommario/riassunto

This book illuminates the philanthropic impulse that has influenced                women's education and its place in the broader history of philanthropy in America.                Contributing to the history of women, education, and philanthropy, the book shows                how voluntary activity and home-grown educational enterprise were as important as                big donors in the development of philanthropy. The essays in Women and Philanthropy                in Education are generally concerned with local rather than national effects of                philanthropy, and the giving

Sommario/riassunto

""The world is so sad and solemn,"" wrote Nathaniel Hawthorne, ""that things meant in jest are liable, by an overwhelming influence, to become dreadful earnest; gaily dressed fantasies turning to ghostly and black-clad images of themselves."" From the radical dualism of Hawthorne's vision, Samuel Coale argues, springs a continuing tradition in the American novel. In Hawthorne's Shadow is the first critical study to describe precisely the formal shape of Hawthorne's psychological romance and to explore his themes and images in relation to such contemporary writers as John Cheever, Norman Mailer
