{"product_id":"rebecca-harding-davis-janice-milner-lasseter-9780826513540","title":"Rebecca Harding Davis: Writing Cultural Autobiography","description":"This is the annotated edition of novelist\/journalist Rebecca Harding Davisís 1904 autobiography, \u003ci\u003eBits of Gossip, \u003c\/i\u003e and a previously unpublished family history written for her children. The memoirs are not traditional autobiography; rather, they are Davis's perspective on the extraordinary cultural changes that occurred during her lifetime and of the remarkable--and sometimes scandalous--people who shaped the events. She provides intimate portraits of the famous people she knew, including Emerson, Hawthorne, Louisa May Alcott, Ann Stephens, Oliver Wendell Holmes, and Horace Greeley. Equally important are Davis's commentaries on the political activists of the Civil War era, from Abraham Lincoln to Booker T. Washington, from the \"daughters of the Southland\" to Lucretia Mott, from Henry Ward Beecher to William Still.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Janice Milner Lasseter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0826513549\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780826513540\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vanderbilt University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.11lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.28h x 6.22w x 0.85d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2002 pg. 1583","brand":"Janice Milner Lasseter","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48453418516735,"sku":"9780826513540","price":79.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fde22109-cae6-4198-a166-e2d335b71000.jpg?v=1777300111","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rebecca-harding-davis-janice-milner-lasseter-9780826513540","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
