Watching Spirits
Elizabeth Ellet takes something of a departure from her first, biographical work 'The Women of the American Revolution' (which is still studied in the present day) to offer up a personal insight and philosophy on the nature and existence of spirits, both divine and malevolent. Ellet's later history would be forever tainted by scandalous rumors regarding she, Edgar Allan Poe, and Frances Sargent Osgood. Rumors that - to my mind - feel a bit misguided; doubly so given her apparent, vociferous devotion to the religious institution of marriage.
Restless Enterprise
Eliza Pratt Greatorex (1819–1897) was America’s most famous woman artist in the mid-nineteenth century, but today she is all but forgotten. Beginning with her Irish roots, this biography brings her art and life back into focus. Breaking conventions for female artists at that time, Greatorex specialized in landscapes and streetscapes, traveling from the Hudson River to the Colorado Rockies and across Europe and North Africa. Her crowning achievement, a monumental tome of drawings and narratives titled Old New York, awakened the public to the destruction of the city’s architectural heritage during the post–Civil War era. Exploring Greatorex’s fierce ambition and creative path, Katherine Manthorne reveals how her success at forging an independent career in a male-dominated world shaped American gender politics, visual culture, and urban consciousness.
