Women writers who were not mariners themselves incorporated oceanic representations and concerns into their work, often through genres that were generally not associated with the sea, such as children's fiction, diaries, and female coming-of- age stories. Melissa Gniadek explores the role of the ocean, with particular attention to the Pacific, in a diverse range of literary texts spanning the late 1820s through the mid-1860s from Lydia Maria Child, Caroline Kirkland, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Elizabeth Stoddard, and Harriet Prescott Spofford. Oceans at Home shows that authors employed maritime plots and stories from distant locations to probe contemporary concerns facing the continental United States, ranging from issues of gender restrictions in the domestic sphere to the racial prejudices against Indigenous peoples that lay at the heart of settler colonialism"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Lydia Maria child's oceanic pedagogies -- Continental territories, oceanic plots, and interior selves -- Coastal gothic and archipelagic relations. 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 650 0 $a Sea in literature. 650 0 $a American fiction $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a American fiction $y 19th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Domestic fiction, American $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Women and literature $z United States $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a History. 650 7 $a American fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807048 650 7 $a American fiction $x Women authors. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807099 650 7 $a Domestic fiction, American. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00896626 650 7 $a Sea in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01896097 650 7 $a Women and literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01177093 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Gniadek, Melissa, $t Oceans at home $d Amherst : University of Massachusetts Press, 2021. $z 9781613768280 $w (DLC) 2020053331 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117024342.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F180E6761DF111EDA8BEF4A423ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
