Prelude, a Novel & The 1854 Diary of Adeline Elizabeth Hoe

Prelude, a Novel & The 1854 Diary of Adeline Elizabeth Hoe

Helen Taylor Davidson
0/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
Filled with six months of the details of a young girl s life, this annotated and edited diary offers a wonderful window into the mind of an educated young woman from a well-to-do family living in Lower Manhattan in the turbulent decade before the Civil War. Adeline recorded her experiences and reflections during the summer that proved to be the prelude to her adulthood and the coming fate of the nation.
Addie s father, Richard March Hoe, revolutionized printing with his invention of a lithographic rotary press. The Hoe s greater family circle included Meads, Dodds, and Harpers figures from major publishing houses still in business today. Addie met the artist William Sydney Mount and musician William Batchelder Bradbury.
Prelude was inspired by the enigmatic references in Addie s diary to people and events that ultimately bring her to support the efforts of the Underground Railroad. Joe Stewart is a mysterious character from the diary who brings a hint of romance to the novel.
This title appeals to nineteenth-century historians, scholars, and librarians. Women s studies scholars will also enjoy the writings of this empowered girl as she develops social responsibility. Young adult readers will find Prelude exciting as Addie learns to help runners on the Underground Railroad."
