Synopses & Reviews

Book News Annotation:

Braker's (German, Eastern Oregon State College) comparative reading of Suttner and Stowe raises serious questions about the criticism leveled against both women who wrote from an ethical and moral context, and were summarily marginalized. However, the author side-steps the gender qualifications and concentrates instead on their similarities as moral messengers influenced by Leo Tolstoy's theories of art. The basis of her argument lies in the validity of the sentimental convention each author employed to make their social and political critiques, and how the arguments remain relevant today. Lacks an index.
