About This Site

Welcome to the third volume of “Recovering 19th-Century American Women Writers.” This site represents the work of students in the Senior Seminar in Literary Recovery taught by Dr. Deborah Gussman at Stockton University, Fall 2022. Over the course of the semester, each student has worked on recovering and introducing an unknown or little-known text by a 19th-century American woman writer or contributing to the discussion and dialogue about a text that has been recently recovered by other scholars. They have created the pages on those writers/texts for this virtual exhibition, which provides a snapshot of their larger seminar projects.
