‎OTHER POWERS: The Age of Suffrage Spiritualism and The Scandalous Victoria Woodhull‎

‎New York NY U.S.A.: Alfred A. Knopf Incorporated 1998. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. As New/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. OTHER POWERS stunning combination of history and biography that interweaves the stories of some of the most important social political and religious figures of America's Victorian era with the courageous and notorious life of Victoria Woodhull to tell the story of her astonishing rise and fall and rise again. This is history at its most vivid set amid the battle for woman suffrage the Spiritualist movement that swept across the nation 10 million strong by midcentury in the age of Radical Reconstruction following the Civil War and the bitter fight that pitted black men against white women in the struggle to win the right to vote. The cast includes: Victoria Woodhull billed as a clairvoyant and magnetic healer--a devotee and priestess of those "other powers" that were gaining acceptance across America--in her father's traveling medicine show . . . spiritual and financial advisor to Commodore Vanderbilt . . . the first woman to address a joint session of Congress where--backed by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony--she presents an argument that women as citizens should have the right to vote . . . becoming the "high priestess" of free love in America fiercely believing the then- heretical idea that women should have complete sexual equality with men . . . making a run for the presidency of the United States against Horace Greeley and Ulysses S. Grant and felled when her past career as a prostitute finally catches up with her. Tennessee Claflin sister of Victoria also a clairvoyant mistress to Commodore Vanderbilt . . . indicted for manslaughter in connection with the death of a woman in a bogus cancer clinic run by her father during the Civil War. Henry Ward Beecher the great preacher of Brooklyn's Plymouth Church--the most influential church in the country . . . brother of Harriet Beecher Stowe . . . caught up in the scandal of the century first revealed in Victoria Woodhull's own newspaper: his affair with Lib Tilton the wife of his parishioner and best friend. Lib Tilton angelic obedient wife of Theodore Tilton who believed her philandering husband's insistence that she was sexless and arid--until Henry Ward Beecher fell under her thrall and their affair exploded into the shocking Tilton-Beecher Scandal Trial that dominated the headlines for two years made radical inroads toward the idea of acceptable sexual relations between men and women and inspired the first questioning of the sanctity of the middle-class American Victorian home. Elizabeth Cady Stanton a discontented housewife who bolstered by the great black activist Frederick Douglass put forth a Declaration of Rights and Sentiments to empower women at the first woman's rights convention in Seneca Falls. Anna Dickinson lecturer extraordinaire feminist heroine to thousands of women across the country the model for Verena Tarrant in Henry James's The Bostonians. Horace Greeley editor of the Tribune whose campaign for the presidency of the United States was centered on his opposition to the policies of Reconstruction . . . who helped to undermine the suffrage movement by writing editorials denouncing Victoria Woodhull. Anthony Comstock U.S. special postal agent enthusiastically in charge of stamping out obscenity and pornography he compared erotic feelings to "electrical wires connected to the inner dynamite of obscene thoughts" who arrested Victoria Woodhull and Tennessee Claflin on charges of sending obscene material through the mail and was determined to bring his crusade against vice to the forefront of American thought and to be hailed as a "paladin of American purity." All of these people play major roles in this compelling book. Barbara Goldsmith draws on ten years of research and letters diaries newspaper clippings and court transcripts.

‎'TIS: A Memoir‎

‎New York NY U.S.A.: Scribner. 1999. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. As New/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Frank McCourt's glorious childhood memoir ANGELA'S ASHES has been loved and celebrated by readers everywhere for its spirit its wit and its profound humanity. A tale of redemption in which storytelling itself is the source of salvation it won the National Book Critics Circle Award the Los Angeles Times Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize. Rarely has a book so swiftly found its place on the literary landscape. And now we have 'Tis the story of Frank's American journey from impoverished immigrant to brilliant teacher and raconteur. Frank lands in New York at age nineteen in the company of a priest he meets on the boat. He gets a job at the Biltmore Hotel where he immediately encounters the vivid hierarchies of this "classless country" and then is drafted into the army and is sent to Germany to train dogs and type reports. It is Frank's incomparable voice-his uncanny humor and his astonishing ear for dialogue-that renders these experiences spellbinding. When Frank returns to America in 1953 he works on the docks always resisting what everyone tells him that men and women who have dreamed and toiled for years to get to America should "stick to their own kind" once they arrive. Somehow Frank knows that he should be getting an education and though he left school at fourteen he talks his way into New York University. There he falls in love with the quintessential Yankee long-legged and blonde and tries to live his dream. But it is not until he starts to teach-and to write-that Frank finds his place in the world. The same vulnerable but invincible spirit that captured the hearts of readers in ANGELA'S SHES comes of age. By the author of ANGELA'S ASHES this new memoir is the story of McCourt's American journey from impoverished nineteen-year-old immigrant to brilliant teacher and raconteur.
