About this title

Synopsis

Once one of the celebrated members of the "local color" movement of the 1890s, short story writer (and entomologist) Annie Trumbull Slosson has now fallen into relative obscurity. This text examines her life and career before turning its attention to a critical examination of her fictional work, including her one novel, The Heresy of Mehetabel Clark . In addition, he examines her scientific writings as a "fusion of the drama of literature with the circumstances of entomology." While her work was not without its flaws, Slosson is portrayed as a writer who deserves more attention. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
