³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ English Professor Jennifer Tuttle publishes two essays in volume on Charlotte Perkins Gilman
Jennifer Tuttle, Ph.D., Dorothy M. Healy Professor of Literature and Health, has published two essays that serve as anchor chapters in the volume Charlotte Perkins Gilman and a Woman's Place in America, edited by Jill Bergman and published by the University of Alabama Press in 2017. The book is part of the press's series on Studies in American Literary Realism and Naturalism.
In the book's first essay, "Charlotte Perkins Gilman and the US West" (co-authored with Gary Scharnhorst), Tuttle and Scharnhorst combine Tuttle's new research with their respective plenary and keynote addresses from the 2011 International Conference on Gilman, offering the definitive argument for reorienting the New England-born Gilman as a western writer.
Tuttle's essay "Recovering the Work of Charlotte Perkins Gilman: or, Reading Gilman in Rome" serves as the final word in the volume, both assessing the state of recovery scholarship in Gilman studies (that is, archives-based scholarship that retrieves unknown and forgotten texts to provide a more thorough and accurate account of literary history) and arguing for scholars to expand their approach to recovery to include translations of Gilman's work and, thus, to employ a global perspective.
