Feminist Literary Classics - Volume IV

Summary

Presented here is Volume IV of our Feminist Literary Classics series, featuring three of the most important feminist works ever written: A Room of One's Own by Virginia Woolf, Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë and The Song of the Lark by Willa Cather. The first book in this collection is A Room of One's Own, a groundbreaking examination of women's roles in literary history by English author Virginia Woolf that delves into the barriers that prevented female writers from seeing their works in print. A widely hailed and essential piece of feminist writing, it is among Woolf's most admired works. Next is a classic tale of survival and resilience, Charlotte Brontë's brilliant "Jane Eyre," in which we meet young Jane, an orphan who is cast out by her family and must learn to forge her own way in life. Both a thrilling saga of strength and perseverance and a heartwarming love story, "Jane Eyre" is one of the most beloved and cherished novels in English literature. And finally, we present The Song of the Lark, Willa Cather's final book of her classic "Prairie Trilogy," which tells the story of budding artist Thea Kronbog, who rises from complete obscurity in a tiny Colorado town to become a world-renowned opera singer. A fascinating look at life in the early 20th century as well as a deep dive into the life and struggles of a creative artist rising to the top of her profession, "The Song of the Lark" was universally praised for its realism and meticulous depiction of Thea's journey. Each of these books is presented in its original and unabridged format.
