Produktbeschreibung
Ellen H. Walworth's 'The Life and Times of Kateri Tekakwitha, the Lily of the Mohawks' is a meticulously researched biography that provides a vivid portrait of the life of the first Native American saint. Through her eloquent prose, Walworth delves into the cultural and spiritual context of Kateri Tekakwitha's life, offering readers a glimpse into the struggles and triumphs of a young Mohawk woman who embraced Christianity against all odds. The book expertly captures the intersection of colonialism, religion, and indigenous traditions in 17th century North America. Ellen H. Walworth, a prominent historian and suffragist, was drawn to Kateri Tekakwitha's story due to her own advocacy for social justice and women's rights. Walworth's deep empathy and understanding of the challenges faced by marginalized communities enrich the narrative, making it a compelling and enlightening read for scholars and general readers alike. I highly recommend 'The Life and Times of Kateri Tekakwitha, the Lily of the Mohawks' to anyone interested in the history of Native American-Christian relations, as well as those who appreciate well-researched biographies that shed light on overlooked figures in history.
Autorenporträt
Ellen Hardin Walworth (1832–1915) was an American author, lawyer, and historical preservationist, well-regarded for her scholarly contributions to American history, particularly her poignant account of Native American heritage encapsulated in 'The Life and Times of Kateri Tekakwitha, the Lily of the Mohawks' (1891). Walworth's erudite examination of the life of Kateri Tekakwitha—the first Native American to be beatified—remarkably combines hagiography with historical rigour, generating great interest in both the religious and indigenous history circles. A pioneering female scholar in a male-dominated era, she provided insightful perspectives on the intersection of culture, spirituality, and identity through the lens of Kateri Tekakwitha, a figure of spiritual significance and historic resilience. The narrative elegance and depth of analysis in her works exhibit a contemplative and evocative literary style that makes her contributions distinct and memorable in early American scholarship. Her commitment to the craft of writing and historical preservation signaled her importance in the cannon, further emphasized through her advocacy for women's rights and her instrumental role in founding the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Walworth's legacy extends beyond her literary achievements to encompass her dedication to social causes, education and the broader appreciation of diverse historical narratives.
