For over fifty years, members of the Woman's Literary Club of Baltimore met every Tuesday afternoon between October and May to share their writing with the goal of getting it into print. And how they succeeded. Between 1890-1941, over a thousand publications emerged from the members of the WLCB. Their novels and historical works appeared in the catalogues of the nation's most respected publishers; their poems and stories filled the pages of magazines including Harper's, the Atlantic, and Ladies' Home Journal. Their plays were performed in Baltimore, in Washington, DC, and even on Broadway.
Yet in less than one hundred years, this astounding group of women--and their writings--have been all but forgotten, the result of changing literary tastes and the establishment of a male-dominated literary canon. This volume gives them new pride of place. Parole Femine: Words and Lives of the Woman's Literary Club of Baltimore is organized thematically and includes over a hundred works from all of the published authors of the Club active between 1890-1920. This rich sampling of writings by Baltimore women at the turn of the twentieth century reveals wide-ranging intellect, interests, and social and political investments that are held together by a common local perspective; it shows that Baltimore literary culture did not exist solely in the smoky clubs, restaurants, and newspaper offices frequented by the likes of Edgar Allan Poe, H. L. Mencken, and F. Scott Fitzgerald.
The Maryland state motto is "fatti maschii, parole femine" manly deeds, womanly words. This anthology restores womanly words to Baltimore cultural history.
Parole Femine: Words and Lives of the Woman's Literary Club of Baltimore was collected and edited by a team of undergraduate students at Loyola University Maryland. Professor Jean Lee Cole, Department of English, leads the project, which includes this anthology and the Woman's Literary Club of Baltimore Online Archive at http: //loyolanotredamelib.org/Aperio/WLCB/.

Описание: A TODAY SHOW #ReadWithJenna BOOK CLUB PICK - An indelible love story about two very different people navigating the entanglements of class and identity and coming of age in an America coming apart at the seams--this is an extraordinary debut about the ties that bind families together and tear them apart across generations (Ann Patchett, best-selling author of The Dutch House). In the run-up to the 2016 election, Owen Callahan, an aspiring writer, moves back to Kentucky to live with his Trump-supporting uncle and grandfather. Eager to clean up his act after wasting time and potential in his early twenties, he takes a job as a groundskeeper at a small local college, in exchange for which he is permitted to take a writing course. Here he meets Alma Hazdic, a writer in residence who seems to have everything that Owen lacks--a prestigious position, an Ivy League education, success as a writer. They begin a secret relationship, and as they grow closer, Alma--who comes from a liberal family of Bosnian immigrants--struggles to understand Owen's fraught relationship with family and home. Exquisitely written; expertly crafted; dazzling in its precision, restraint, and depth of feeling, Groundskeeping is a novel of haunting power and grace from a prodigiously gifted young writer.
