{"product_id":"therese-von-jakob-robinson-hermine-weigel-williams-9780595457090","title":"Therese Von Jakob Robinson: A Biographical Portrait","description":"Therese von Jakob Robinson (1797-1870), a native of Halle, Germany, has been the subject of numerous studies and several international conferences that have focused almost exclusively on her poetical translations of Serbian folk-song texts, which were published in a two-volume edition in 1826. Other aspects of her literary career, namely those related to her work as a novelist and essayist, have been undertaken by those seeking to define how the immigrant experience of German-American women affected their writings. Biographical studies, however, have been limited because of a paucity of primary materials, especially those associated with the thirty years Therese spent in America as the wife of Edward Robinson. The present biography-the first in the English language to appear in almost one hundred years-relies heavily on original documents provided the author by the descendants of Therese and Edward Robinson. With this newly acquired material, the author has been able to draw a more expansive portrait of a remarkable female writer, whose career forged a significant cultural bridge between Germany and America in the nineteenth century. \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hermine Weigel Williams\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0595457096\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780595457090\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e iUniverse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/16\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.94lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.65d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hermine Weigel Williams","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48443573633279,"sku":"9780595457090","price":20.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a4e6ac82-b217-4b4c-9957-bfa00c03722d.jpg?v=1777206354","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/therese-von-jakob-robinson-hermine-weigel-williams-9780595457090","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
