Description: Morgesons, Paperback by Stoddard, Elizabeth; Buell, Lawrence; Zagarell, Sandra A., ISBN 0140436510, ISBN-13 9780140436518, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Elizabeth Stoddard combines the narrative style of the popular nineteenth-century male-centered bildungsroman with the conventions of womens romantic fiction in this revolutionary exploration of the conflict between a womans instinct, passion, and will, and the social taboos, family allegiances, and traditional New England restraint that inhibit her. Set in a small seaport town (1862), The Morgesons is the dramatic story of Cassandra Morgesons fight against social and religious norms in a quest for sexual, spiritual, and economic autonomy. An indomitable heroine, Cassandra not only achieves an equal and complete love with her husband and ownership of her familys property, but also masters the skills and accomplishments expected of women.
Counterpointed with the stultified lives of her aunt, mother, and sister, Cassandras success is a striking and radical affirmation of womens power to shape their own destinies. Embodying the convergence of the melodrama and sexual undercurrents of gothic romance and Victorian social realism, The Morgesons marks an important transition in the development of the novel and evoked comparisons during Stoddards lifetime with such masters as Balzac, Tolstoy, Eliot, the Brontes, and Hawthorne.
