Houghton Mifflin Trade and Reference Division Houghton Mifflin Company traces its literary legacy back through the Trade and Reference Division. In 1832, William Ticknor and James Fields assembled one of the most distinguished list of writers ever associated with one American firm, including Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, John Greenleaf Whittier, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Oliver Wendell Holmes, and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Today, the Trade and Reference Division publishes adult, children’s, and reference books, including twenty- seven Pulitzer Prize winners, nine National Book Award winners, ten recipients of Caldecott Medals, and ten recipients of Newbery Medals. Houghton Mifflin’s Children’s Book Group, comprising Houghton Mifflin Books for Children, Walter Lorraine Books, Clarion Books, Graphia Books, and Kingfisher, constitutes one of the richest backlists of children’s liter- ature in the industry. Today’s list of authors is just as impressive, boasting many award winners, including Lois Lowry, David Macaulay, Chris Van Allsburg, Karen Cushman, Russell Freedman, Linda Sue Park, and David Wiesner, just to name a few. This catalog includes all of our backlist children’s books, in print through December 2005. In an age where books come and go we strive to bring our readers quality books that transcend time and generations. We are proud to celebrate classic books, such as Curious George, Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel, and Paul Gal- done’s The Three Billy Goats Gruff, which have remained in print decade after decade. As we grow and move into the future, we are always looking for books that stand the test of time. With the addition of the Kingfisher imprint to the Houghton Mifflin family we now round off our list with world-class atlases, encyclopedias, dic- tionaries, and an exciting new series written by veteran New York Times journalists. The Trade and Reference Division is headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, with an additional office in New York City. www.houghtonmifflinbooks.com Prices subject to change. 3 of 37 Copyright © 2006 Houghton Mifflin Company.

  • Nathaniel Hawthorne, and the Works of Margaret Fuller and Charlotte Bronte
    REWRITING WOMEN HAWTHORNE, FULLER, BRONTE REWRITING WOMEN: NATHANIEL HAWTHORNE AND THE WORKS OF MARGARET FULLER AND CHARLOTTE BRONTE By NANETTE JUNE MORTON A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts McMaster University Copyright by Nanette June Morton l September 1993 MASTER OF ARTS (1993) McMASTER UNIVERSITY (English) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: Rewriting the Feminine: Nathaniel Hawthorne, and the works of Margaret Fuller and Charlotte Bronte AUTHOR: Nanette June Morton SUPERVISOR: Doctor Joseph Sigman NUMBER OF PAGES: v, 95 ii ABSTRACT In spite of the disparaging remarks Hawthorne made about the inferior work of the "damned mob of scribbling women" he was both interested in, and ultimately threatened by his feminine counterparts. By their very existence female authors threatened to displace him, sin~e· their writings challenged the cultural ideal of womanhood, an ideal created by the traditional patriarchal aesthetic he participated in. Hawthorne dealt with this threat by rewriting, and therefore controlling those he feared. In The Blithedale Romance he fictionalized the life of the nineteenth century feminist, Margaret Fuller. As "Zenobia" Fuller is depicted as a tragic, sinful figure who strains fruitlessly against the natural bonds of her sex. Although Hawthorne is believed to have turned once again to Fuller's life for inspiration when he wrote The Marble Faun, this thesis argues that He was also influenced by Villette, Charlotte Bronte's final novel. The similarity between these two works suggests that Hawthorne rewrote, re-ihterpreted portions of Bronte's work in his own novel in an effort to establish control over a voice which threatened the primacy of his own.

  • James Thomas Fields - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series James Thomas Fields - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive James Thomas Fields(1817-1881) James Thomas Fields (December 31, 1817 – April 24, 1881) was an American publisher and author. Fields was born in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. His father was a sea captain and died before Fields was three. At the age of 14, Fields took a job at the Old Corner Bookstore in Boston. His first published poetry was included in the Portsmouth Journal in 1837 but he drew more attention when, on September 13, 1838, he delivered his "Anniversary Poem" to the Boston Mercantile Library Association. In 1839, he joined William Ticknor and became junior partner in the publishing and bookselling firm known after 1846 as Ticknor and Fields, and after 1868 as Fields, Osgood & Company. With this company, Fields was the publisher of leading contemporary American writers, with whom he was on terms of close personal friendship. He was also the American publisher of some of the best- known British writers of his time, some of whom he also knew intimately. The first collected edition of Thomas De Quincey's works (20 vols., 1850-1855) was published by his firm. As a publisher, he was characterized by a somewhat rare combination of keen business acumen and sound, discriminating literary taste, and as a man he was known for his geniality and charm of manner. Ticknor and Fields built their company to have a substantial influence in the literary scene which writer and editor Nathaniel Parker Willis acknowledged in a letter to Fields: "Your press is the announcing-room of the country's Court of Poetry." In 1854, Fields married his second wife, Annie Adams, who was an author herself.

    Portland, OR www.MontgomeryRareBooks.com 503-319-6358 [Poe, Edgar Allan] Sarah Helen Whitman, Frances Osgood, Eugene L. Didier, Rufus W. Griswold. Six ALS From Four Authors in Poe's Orbit; Including His Fiancée, Biographer, Housemate and Detractor. 1840 - 1881. Sarah Helen Whitman (Jan 1803 – Jun 1878 ) was engaged to marry Poe on Christmas Day 1848, despite strong advice to the contrary from those around her. Rufus Griswold, Poe's egregious biographer, implies the wedding was canceled the day before due to Poe being raucously drunk and intervened by the police. The wedding was not consummated. Poe conspired in a letter to Whitman that it was his mother's disapproval which sabotaged the marraige. This letter, 7.25" x 5", 4pp, c. 1843, densely written, is addressed to: My dear Mrs. [Maria Gowen] Brooks, who also flirted in Poe's circle. Whitman discuss attendance at Brooks' lecture on Byron "...I sent Mr. Gwen's notice of the Byron lecture to Mr. Danielson as he said if he could possibly find room for it he would publish it with the announcement of the day and hour of the lecture." Whitman goes on to expound about the reuse of phrases by poets, "There are some phrases and literature so beautiful and so expressive as for instance, many in Shakespeare- in Dante and in the Bible that they become as it were common property." She then uses examples from Tennyson, Byron, and Milton to demonstrate how one poet honors another with an appropriation of a phrase; "Byron's phrase instead of being an infringement on Milton reflects a new charm on his verse.

(1964) Directed by: Dr. rtobert 0. Stephens. pp. 53. When Nathaniel Hawthorne died in I864, his family discovered four unfinished romances among his manuscripts. One of these fragments, Septimius Felton. attracts interest because it is the length of a novel and has a conclusion. The question immediately arises as to why Hawthorne abandoned a romance as near completion as Septimius Felton. Perhaps his advanced age, poor health, and disappointment over the Civil War are secondary reasons for the romance's failure. I believe, however, a better explanation is apparent in the text itself. Since Septimius Felton contains inconsistencies in the development of the theme, in the presentation of the main character, and in the selection of a setting which cor- responds to Hawthorne's literary theory and theme, the ro- mance's failure may result from these factors.
