The first of this two-volume work recounts Sophia's accomplishments as one of America's first professional women artists, a transcendentalist thinker, and a prolific travel writer. The second volume explores Sophia's abandonment of her artistic career--at Nathaniel's urging--to adopt the roles of wife and mother, widow and impoverished guardian of her husband's legacy, and, finally, expatriate.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Patricia Dunlavy Valenti\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 080718540X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807185407\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e LSU Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/18\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 322\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.72d","brand":"Patricia Dunlavy Valenti","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48450365128959,"sku":"9780807185407","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d33e3bbc-d5af-4c3b-9fd7-3c66617916ed.jpg?v=1777267366","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sophia-peabody-hawthorne-patricia-dunlavy-valenti-9780807185407","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
