MISS GRIEF AND OTHER STORIES

English Summary/英文概要： Constance Fenimore Woolson (1840-1894) was one of the few nineteenth-century women writers considered the equal of her male peers. Harper & Brothers was so enamoured of her work that the firm agreed to publish whatever she could write. In this gathering, Rioux has chosen fiction over the course of Woolson’s life, including "In Sloane Street," never published since it first appeared in Harper’s Bazaar. Woolson’s stories travel from the rural Midwest to the deep South and then across the Atlantic to Italy and England. Her strong characters and indelible settings provide continuity throughout this collection as do her concerns with passion, creativity, imagination and the demands of society. Whether portraying the keeper of a Union soldiers’ cemetery in the defeated South, a woman writer whose genius goes unrecognised, or the ex-pat denizens of Florence, Woolson’s deft characterization and subtlety create a broad landscape of Americans and their ways no matter where they lived.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： Constance Fenimore Woolson（1840-1894）是十九世纪女性作家中少数被认为和男性作家不分伯仲的优秀人才之一。Harper & Brothers出版社十分迷恋她的作品，甚至答应无论她写什么都愿意出版。在这本合集中，Rioux选择了Woolson最经典的作品，包括曾刊登在《Harper’s Bazaar》上、从未集结出版的作品“In Sloane Street”。Woolson的作品背景跨越中西部的乡村和南部纵深，随后又跨越大西洋来到意大利和英国。她笔下的人物性格各有千秋，但无论设定在什么样的背景之下，都展现了热情、创造力、想象力和当时的社会热点，惟妙惟肖地再现了美国人的生活百态。(LYR)
