Parte come un romanzo gotico, ha un intermezzo realista e si conclude con i sorprendenti colpi di scena cari al romanzo d'appendice. Una trama articolata in cui si inseriscono motivi di ordine etico e sociale, come i limiti imposti alla personalità giuridica delle donne sposate, che non possono disporre dei loro mezzi economici perché affidati legalmente al marito.Pubblicato nel 1878, un romanzo dal carattere proto-femminista, che ha come protagonista la giovane Jane, dotata di un senso di giustizia che travalica le convenzioni sociali. La storia anticipa di decenni le idee espresse dal cinema progressista degli anni ’30 e ’40 del 900 (dal Frank Capra È arrivata la felicità, a Mr. Smith va a Washington o Arriva John Doe), in cui l’onesta semplicità della gente di provincia viene contrapposta alla vacuità dell’élite sociale e intellettuale delle grandi città e alla corruzione della politica.
Margret Howth: A Story of To-day. E-book. Formato EPUB Rebecca Harding Davis - Ionlineshopping.Com, 2019 -
"A rewarding, fascinatingly mature book of substance and power."--Tillie Olsen Margret Howth: A Story of To-Day, published in 1862 in Boston, was Rebecca Harding Davis's second widely acknowledged work, and her first novel. Set in an Indiana mill town during the fall and winter of 1860, it depicts the suffering of the working poor at a time when industrialization was growing across America. During the time Davis wrote, the society she lived in was divided into areas of activity that were considered appropriate for men, or for women. Women were expected to take care of home and family; men were expected to attend to the world of ideas, politics, and money. Writing books was considered to be a male activity, and women who wanted to be authors, like Davis, were expected to write "moral" fiction: fiction that educated, elevated, and promoted religious values. "Recuperating from spiritual decay is the motif of this narrative. Rebecca Davis has created personas that realize their misplaced ambitions in life and work to bring about a change for the better. In a side plot, she has also touched on the poverty and discrimination in a land where equality of men is preached and apparently every one has equal rights. Insightful!"
