Dared and Done
by Julia Markus
The story of two great English poets Elizabeth Barrett and Robert Browning, whose work was immediately recognized and adored by their contemporaries, whose courtship ranks with the great love stories of all time - and in whose marriage romance was not merely sustained but intensified. We follow the course of their rich marriage, from the beginning when each saw the other as a brilliant poet, a compassionate and strangely similar heart, through the years in which they discovered each other's differences, each remaining a complex and thrilling human being to the other. To tell their story, Markus for the first time makes use of much of Elizabeth's unpublished correspondence, amid a wealth of other documents. She delves fully into the Brownings' Creole background and shows how it affected their lives and their work (Elizabeth was the first of the Jamaican Barretts to be born in England in many generations). Brilliantly interweaving the Brownings' own words with her authentic and perceptive narrative, Julia Markus brings these two great poets - their marriage, their work, their times - alive as never before.

Lewis Carroll in Wonderland
by Stephanie Lovett Stoffel
One summer afternoon on the banks of the river Thames, a young Oxford professor named Charles Dodgson shared a picnic with three little girls who asked for a story. One of them was Alice, and the adventure he created for her under the pen name Lewis Carroll has captured the hearts of readers throughout the world. Who was this mathematician-turned-writer, and why has his tale so enchanted us? Enter the mind of Lewis Carroll, who gave us the timeless magic of Alice in Wonderland.
Bound for the Promised Land
by Kate Clifford Larson
“What a glorious book! Kate Larson's magnificent biography of the life of the real Harriet Tubman deserves the nation's attention. Grounded in meticulous research, BOUND FOR THE PROMISED LAND solves the mysteries and silences about the legendary "Moses" of Underground Railroad fame. With clarity, grace, and skill, Larson brilliantly captures the truly remarkable spirit of a genuine American heroine. We are all in Larson's debt.” - Darlene Clark Hine, co-author, A SHINING THREAD OF HOPE: THE HISTORY OF BLACK WOMEN IN AMERICA, Professor Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study “BOUND FOR THE PROMISED LAND is an extraordinary achievement. Heroically researched, movingly written, it transforms a legend into a flesh-and-blood human being and brings a critical era in our history vividly to life." -Jacquelyn D. Hall, Spruill Professor of History, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill ”Perhaps the best-known African American female historical figure because of her courageous work on the Underground Railroad, Harriet Tubman's life as a warrior woman is elegantly captured in Kate Larson's riveting biography, the first one to be published for adults after a sixty-year hiatus. Because of her painstaking documentation of the wretched worlds that Tubman inhabited and ultimately recreated, readers confront a genuine hero, not the fiction of contemporary media. BOUND FOR THE PROMISED LAND is the story of a legendary woman we thought we knew, but Larson's portrait is more focused, more complex, more satisfying.” -Beverly Guy-Sheftall, author of GENDER TALK, Professor of Women’s Studies and English, and the Director of the Women’s Research and Resource Center at Spelman College “Larson's exceptionally well researched biography of Harriet Tubman draws on thorough historical detective work to offer a compelling life story.” — Estelle B. Freedman, author of No Turning Back: The History of Feminism and the Future of Women, Professor of History, Stanford University
