Austin Bailey
In many ways his most personal work to date, Robert D. Richardson’s latest, posthumously published biography, Three Roads Back: How Emerson, Thoreau, and William James Responded to the Greatest Losses of Their Lives, charts the formation of his three subjects’ literary and philosophical identities through the personal tragedies that ended up working as catalysts for some of their biggest intellectual and creative achievements. A valuable work of biography and intellectual history in its own right, Richardson’s final book equally serves as a valediction on a celebrated scholar’s lifelong commitment to writing about the minds of some of America’s greatest, foundational thinkers.
罗伯特·d·理查森(Robert D. Richardson)在死后出版的最新传记《三条路:爱默生、梭罗和威廉·詹姆斯如何回应他们生命中最大的损失》(Three Roads Back: Three ways Back: How How to response to Their Greatest Losses of Their Lives),从很多方面来看,是他迄今为止最具个人色彩的作品。这本书通过个人悲剧描绘了他的三位主人公的文学和哲学身份的形成,这些悲剧最终成为他们取得一些最伟大的智力和创造性成就的催化剂。理查森的最后一本书本身就是一本有价值的传记和思想史著作,同时也是一位著名学者毕生致力于研究美国一些最伟大、最基础的思想家思想的告别之作。

Carolyn Sorisio
This review of Mark Rifkin’s 2021 Speaking for the People: Native Writing and the Question of Political Form shows how Rifkin engages contemporary debates within Native American and indigenous studies, including debates about recognition and gender. Rifkin does so in part by examining how nineteenth-century Native American authors defined and represented peoplehood as both they and those they wanted to represent responded to changes in law, policy, and popular perception. The review includes summaries of Rifkin’s chapters on Elias Boudinot, William Apess, Sarah Winnemucca, and Zitkala-Ša.

Mary E. Wilkins, Freeman Stephanie
Freeman studies flourished in the 1970s through the 1990s, and many rely on the ground-breaking work from that era. But Freeman studies has continued to develop. New interpretations of perennial favourite short stories have appeared, undiscovered texts have been brought to light, different contexts have been pinpointed, and fresh outlooks on feminist questions have been staked out. Scholars interested in reading Freeman will benefit from combining a focus on the heyday with a focus on new developments. These have included a more critical examination of female bonds, the Gothic, the criminal, naturalism, materialism, and ecocriticism. After reviewing recent bibliographical and textual studies of Freeman and these critical developments, the essay urges more focus on Freeman’s novels and considers future directions Freeman studies might take.
