What is A passionate usefulness : the life and literary labors of Hannah Adams about?
In A Literary Environment Dominated By Men, The First American To Earn A Living As A Writer And To Establish A Reputation On Both Sides Of The Atlantic Was, Miraculously, A Woman. Hannah Adams Dared To Enter - And In Some Ways Was Forced To Enter - A Sphere Of Literature That Had, In Eighteenth-century America, Been Solely A Male Province. Driven By Poverty And Necessity, And Aided By An Extraordinarily Adept Mind And Keen Sense Of Business, Adams Authored Works On New England History, Sectarian History, And Jewish History, Using And Citing The Most Recent Scholarly Works Being Published In Great Britain And American. As A Female Writer, She Would Always Remain Something Of An Outsider, But Her Accomplishments Did Not By Any Means Go Unrecognized: Embraced By The Boston Intelligentsia And Highly Regarded Throughout New England, Adams Came To Epitomize The Possibility In A Democratic Society That Anyone Could Rise To A Circle Of Intellectual Elites. In A Passionate Usefulness, A Biography Of This Remarkable Figure, Gary D. Schmidt Focuses Primarily On The Intimate Connection Between Adams's Reading And Her Own Literary Work.--book Jacket.
