Volume II documents a nineteenth-century literary celebrity's decision to commit herself to the cause of woman's rights. The first volume of this series revealed a feminist sensibility in the subtexts of Elizabeth Oakes Smith's early poetry, fiction, and memoir. Volume II traces the sharp turn in her career at mid-century: a multidimensional effort involving newspaper editorial, a lecture career extending as far as Louisville and Chicago, and throughout these efforts, an attempt to garner the support to inaugurate the first journal owned and edited by women dedicated to the cause of woman's empowerment.

Nathaniel Hawthorne helped to establish and validate American literature by creating a mythology of America's origins that features prophetic themes and figures. Just as biblical prophets emerge at the dawn of ancient Israel, Hawthorne's prophets emerge in stories of the beginnings of America.
