Beginning with sentimental fiction and polemic, progressing through modernist and middlebrow experiments, and concluding with post-ratification memoirs and tributes, this anthology showcases lost and neglected fiction, poetry, drama, literary journalism, and autobiography; it also samples such innovative print cultural forms as valentines, banners, and cartoons. Featured writers include canonical figures such as Harriet Beecher Stowe, Fanny Fern, Louisa May Alcott, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Djuna Barnes, Marianne Moore, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Sui Sin Far, and Gertrude Stein, as well as writers popular in their day but, until now, lost.
