Fields, an American, was first married to James T. Fields, a prominent Boston publisher; after his death she became companion to Sarah Orne Jewett, one of the foremost New England writers. Gladstone was a daughter of William Gladstone, one of Great Britain‘s most famous Prime Ministers. Both became well known as hostesses, entertaining the leading figures of their day; both also kept journals and wrote letters in which they recorded those figures‘ conversations. Susan K. Harris reads these records to exhibit the impact such women had on the cultural life of their times. The Cultural Work of the Late Nineteenth-Century Hostess shows how Fields and Gladstone negotiated alliances, won over key figures to their parties‘ designs, and fought to develop major cultural institutions ranging from the Organization of Boston Charities to London‘s Royal College of Music. | | 出版日期 | Book 2002 | | 关键词 | America; culture; women | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-137-11639-0 | | isbn_softcover | 978-1-349-63563-4 | | isbn_ebook | 978-1-137-11639-0 | | copyright | Palgrave Macmillan, a division of Nature America Inc. 2002 |
