{"product_id":"adventurous-women-in-contemporary-american-jeannette-king-9783030941253","title":"Adventurous Women in Contemporary American Historical Fiction: Girls' Own Stories","description":"This book brings together for the first time nine groundbreaking historical novels by women from the United States, Canada and Latin America, united by their focus on female adventurers. These novels introduce the neglected women of history, real and imagined, who accompanied their menfolk to the New World, and enabled its settlement or colonisation. Familiar novelists include Isabel Allende, Audrey Thomas and Jane Smiley, but this book also introduces less familiar writers who have produced richly textured and densely historical novels. In addition to putting women back into history, these writers engage with the literature of the past, including the American canon of male fiction which dominated literary history before the intervention of feminist scholars. The book begins with an introduction to the history of historical fiction and provides a theoretical, historical and geographical context for the novels themselves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeannette King\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3030941256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783030941253\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/11\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 164\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.44d","brand":"Jeannette King","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44059146191103,"sku":"9783030941253","price":119.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8465427e-a0c2-4d2c-9235-31c7dc555288.jpg?v=1685056482","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/adventurous-women-in-contemporary-american-jeannette-king-9783030941253","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
