SUMMARY:Book Talk: Author Rose Neal on "E.D.E.N. Southworth's Hidden Hand: The Untold Story of America's Famous Forgotten Nineteenth-Century Author"
DESCRIPTION:Oak Hill Cemetery is proud to announce a Book Talk from Dr. Rose Neal\, author\, about the life and legacy of Oak Hill Notable\, E.D.E.N. Southworth. \nJoin us at the Renwick Chapel on Friday\, October 17 at 6:30 pm for this lively and educational event! \n  \nUncover the legacy of E.D.E.N. Southworth\, the trailblazing novelist whose daring heroines\nand progressive ideals captivated a generation\, only to be forgotten by history—until now. \nE.D.E.N. Southworth (Emma Dorothy Eliza Nevitte) was one of the nineteenth century’s most\nprolific and successful authors\, with more novels to her credit than Nathaniel Hawthorne\, Herman\nMelville\, and Mark Twain combined. Readers loved her feisty heroines who rode horses\, shot\npistols\, captured notorious villains\, became sea captains\, and had other such grand adventures. In\n1859\, countless readers named their daughters Capitola after their favorite character in\nSouthworth’s best-selling The Hidden Hand. \nIn her fifty-plus novels\, Southworth wrote about unspeakable topics for the time\, including\nalcoholism\, domestic violence\, poverty\, and capital punishment—all nicely tucked away within the\npages of her “domestic fiction.” Despite being raised in a slave-owning family\, she wrote for The\nNational Era (a known abolitionist magazine)\, supported emancipation\, and encouraged her\nlongtime friend Harriet Beecher Stowe to publish Uncle Tom’s Cabin. Southworth also advocated\nfor better education for girls and better living conditions for the poor and joined the early\nwomen’s rights movement. \nAlthough Southworth achieved international fame in her lifetime\, knowledge of her work virtually\ndisappeared as readers were drawn to the new Modernist literature. Because Southworth never\ndiscussed her progressive views publicly—a necessity as a single mother who made a living by her\npen—she has long been incorrectly categorized as being against causes she in fact supported.\nNow\, by combining details from Southworth’s novels\, newspapers\, and personal letters\, Rose Neal\nhas set the record straight\, piecing together the fascinating life of a woman who was as\ndetermined as the heroines she created. \nAbout the Author:\nAfter more than twelve years of researching E.D.E.N. Southworth\, Rose Neal\, PhD\, is one of\nthe preeminent scholars on the author’s work and life. In 2012\, she finished her master’s\nthesis on Southworth before embarking on a doctorate in literature from Swansea University\nin Wales\, where she successfully defended her dissertation on Southworth’s impact on female\neducation. Dr. Neal has also presented about the author at professional conferences and\nlibraries.\nAfter a twenty-plus-year career in teaching\, both at the high school and university levels\, Dr.\nNeal retired and is now devoting herself full-time to a second career as a writer. In addition to\nher love of research and storytelling\, she enjoys traveling with her husband\, Chris\, and\nspending time in her garden. She lives in Edmond\, Oklahoma.
