Produktinformationen zu „Ruth Hall (ePub)“
In 'Ruth Hall,' Fanny Fern artfully embroiders the tapestry of a tale that mirrors her own life story with the delicate threads of fictional narrative, presenting a nuanced exploration of a woman's struggle in the 19th century. The literary style of the novel is distinctively forthright and engaging, with a strong feminist undertone challenging the norms of its time. Through the tripartite frame of Ruth's journey-joyous wedlock, the tribulations of widowhood, and her eventual ascent as a celebrated writer-Fern deftly addresses the societal modulations faced by women in the quest for emotional fulfillment and economic self-sufficiency. The novel's intimate prose situates it within the larger canvas of autobiographical fiction, engaging readers with its honesty and emotional depth.
Fanny Fern, the nom de plume of Sara Willis Parton, was a pioneering figure in American literature and journalism, known for her bold and candid columns. 'Ruth Hall' draws from the well of Fern's own experiences, as she herself navigated widowhood, social censure, and the fight for professional recognition in a patriarchal society. Writing became a form of resilience and revolt for Fern; thus, the novel emerges as a compelling manifesto of personal liberation and a beacon for women's rights.
This book comes highly recommended for readers keen on feminist literature and those interested in understanding the historical position of women. It is a celebrated piece that resonates with timeless themes of love, loss, and the indefatigable human spirit. Fern's 'Ruth Hall' invites the modern reader to reflect on the progress made since its publication and the relevance of such narratives in today's ongoing conversation about gender equality and self-actualization.

Autoren-Porträt von Fanny Fern
Fanny Fern, the pen name of Sara Payson Willis (1811-1872), stands as a pioneering figure in the literary landscape of nineteenth-century America. A writer of sharp wit and strong opinions, Fern garnered fame with her boldly expressive columns and books, which often challenged societal norms. Her semi-autobiographical novel 'Ruth Hall' (1854) remains a poignant narrative that portrays the resilience of a widow navigating a male-dominated society to become a successful writer. The novel's critique of gender injustices and advocacy for women's financial independence reflects Fern's literary style-a potent mix of satirical humor and emotional depth. Celebrated for her conversational prose, Fern was one of the first female columnists to achieve national acclaim, and her work often centered on women's rights, domesticity, and social reform. 'Ruth Hall', like much of Fern's writing, rejected the sentimentalism of her time in favor of a more realistic portrayal of women's struggles and their capacity for autonomy. Besides her literary pursuits, Fern's essays and columns, collected in books such as 'Fern Leaves from Fanny's Portfolio' (1853), offer a glimpse into the progressive mind of a woman who used her pen as a tool for social critique and empowerment, making her an enduring figure in American literary history.
