Produktbeschreibung

In "Philothea," Lydia Maria Child explores the internal and external struggles of her titular character, weaving a rich tapestry of emotional depth and philosophical inquiry. Set against the backdrop of 19th-century America, Child employs a nuanced literary style that combines romantic ideals with moral realism, providing readers with a compelling exploration of love, faith, and personal growth. By blending narrative elements with reflective passages, Child invites her audience to ponder the complexities of life and the pursuit of self-knowledge, all while addressing contemporary social issues, including women's rights and spiritual fulfillment. Lydia Maria Child was a prominent abolitionist, women's rights advocate, and a prolific writer whose experiences greatly informed her literary endeavors. Born in 1802, her commitment to social reform and education is palpable throughout her works, including her famous writings on the moral imperative of social justice. "Philothea" reflects her advocacy for personal and social responsibility, combining her literary talent with her passionate beliefs, ultimately serving as both a novel and a philosophical treatise. I wholeheartedly recommend "Philothea" to readers who appreciate an insightful narrative laden with moral complexity and cultural critique. Child'Äôs work remains relevant, offering timeless reflections on the human condition and the pursuit of a meaningful life. Through its intricate storytelling, this novel invites contemplation and resonates with anyone striving for both personal and societal harmony.

Autorenporträt

Mrs. Lydia Maria Child (1802-1880) was widely read and extremely well informed. She was the successful and popular author of a novel (Hobomok) and several how-to books (The Frugal Housewife, The Mother's Book, The Girl's Own Book), and editor of the Juvenile Miscellany. She was also a former educator and a member of the learned and reform-minded intellectual circles in Boston, both in her own right and as the younger sister of Convers Francis (1795-1863), a Unitarian minister, Harvard professor, and member of the Transcendental Club. In 1828 she married David Lee Child (1794-1874), another Harvard graduate, schoolmaster, diplomat, and lawyer. Their association with William Lloyd Garrison prompted Mrs. Child to publish this Appeal, for which she paid the price of alienating a significant portion of her previous audience. She did not waver but went on to edit the National Anti-Slavery Standard in New York City (1840-1844) and continued to write in support of emancipation, women's rights, and native rights as well.
