Susan Coolidge

    Sarah Chauncey Woolsey, die schreef onder het pseudoniem Susan Coolidge, was een Amerikaanse auteur die bekend staat om haar klassieke kindervertellingen. Haar beroemdste werk is geïnspireerd op haar eigen gezinsleven en vangt de essentie van kinderjaren en familierelaties. Via haar verhalen biedt ze een realistische weergave van het gezinsleven en de opvoeding in de 19e eeuw. Woolsey droeg ook bij aan de literaire overlevering door de correspondentie en dagboeken van andere vrouwelijke schrijvers te redigeren, waardoor ze licht wierp op hun levens en werken.

      Letter-writing was something of an addiction for young women of Jane Austen's time and social position, and Austen's letters have a freedom and familiarity that only intimate writing can convey. Wiser than her critics, who were disappointed that her correspondence dwelt on gossip and the minutiae of everyday living, Austen understood the importance of 'Little Matters', of the emotional and material details of individual lives shared with friends and family through the medium of the letter. Ironic, acerbic, always entertaining, Jane Austen's letters are a fascinating record not only of her own day-to-day existence, but of the pleasures and frustrations experienced by women of her social class which are so central to her novels. Vivien Jones's selection includes very nearly two-thirds of Austen's surviving correspondence, and her lively introduction and notes set the novelist's most private writings in their wider cultural context.
