Epic has long been regarded as the exclusive domain of the male literary genius and as an incarnation of patriarchal values. This provocative collection of essays challenges such a hegemonic stereotype by demonstrating the ways in which women writers have successfully adapted the masculine epic tradition to suit their own aesthetic needs and to express their own heroic literary, social, and historical visions. Bringing the female epic out of the shadows, the contributors rethink generic boundaries to illuminate this heretofore hidden literary practice. The essays range from Mary Tighe to Rebecca West from Elizabeth Barrett Browning to Gwendolyn Brooks, and from Frances Burney to Virginia Woolf. Bernard Schweizer's introduction, titled 'Muses with Pens,' connects the trajectory of ideas and influences in the individual essays to demonstrate how each participates in reclaiming for women writers a place in the development of a female epic tradition. The volume will be an invaluable resource for scholars working on issues related to genre, canon formation, and the evolution of female literary authority.

Living on a new homestead often meant pioneer families had to start with nothing—no house, no fields, and no neighbors. Pioneer children were expected to work just as hard as their parents. They cooked, gathered firewood, and helped in the fields, as well as going to school part of the year. Readers learn just how different life was for children on the frontier during the second half of the 19th century. Told from the perspective of a young pioneer girl, the main content covers food, clothing, and community, and historical images feature common family scenes.
