Letter: H.W. Lanier to E.C. Martin with Addendum to Paul Laurence Dunbar from E.C. Martin
No full textFull text of letter on Doubleday & McClure Co. letterhead from H.W. Lanier to E.C. Martin, followed by Martin\u27s added note to Paul Laurence Dunbar:
January 13, 1900
My dear Martin:
I hope you have explained to Mr. Dunbar the reasons for our long delay in giving an answer regarding The Love of Landry. We are not yet really straightened out but I\u27ve managed to get the particular matter through at last.
As you know, under ordinary circumstances we could only report that 29,000 words is hardly enough to make a book of. But we are just starting a series of Short Novels (very nicely gotten up, bound in cloth, to be sold at socials), for which we anticipate a large sale. The first volume in the series — of course they will all be sold separately — is a story of Anthony Hope. We can\u27t pay more than 10% royalty as we are putting the price way down in order to place a whole lot of the books. Would Mr. Dunbar be willing to let us bring out The Love of Landry in the series with the understand that we shall have the first chance at his next long novel? If so, we will agree to do this and will bring the present book out this spring and see if we can\u27t do something worth while with it.
If you\u27d prefer, we will write to Mr. Dunbar direct, but I suppose this letter will be all that\u27s necessary.
Sincerely,H.W. Lanier
Martin forwarded this letter to Paul Laurence Dunbar with an additional note:
Dear Mr. Dunbar: Here is Mr. Lanier\u27s answer to me for the Doubleday & McClure Co. regarding your book. I forward it to you at once. You can confer directly with them. But if you don\u27t make a deal with them, I hope you\u27ll give us a chance at the book.
Yours truly,E.C. Martinhttps://ecommons.udayton.edu/ohc_dunbar/1600/thumbnail.jp

Creolizing the New Woman : the subversion of feminist archetypes in Alice Dunbar-Nelson's early short fiction
No full textIn the preface to Alice Dunbar-Nelson’s first collection, Violets and Other Tales (1895), fellow New Orleans club member and activist Sylvanie F. Williams introduced the (then unknown) twenty-year old author as “belong[ing] to that type of the ‘brave new woman who scorns to sigh.’” This explicit allusion to an 1894 British poem entitled “The New Woman” has gone largely unnoticed by scholars, despite its clear significance for the construction of Dunbar-Nelson’s authorial identity as she entered the national literary scene. I read this conspicuous gap (both in New Woman and Dunbar-Nelson studies) as resulting from a conjunction of factors. The apparent separation, in Dunbar-Nelson’s early work, between her treatment of issues relating to gender and those relating to race has long perplexed critics while the difficulty of applying an essentially white middle-class feminist trope to a textual corpus departing from this normative category has created a blind spot in New Woman studies. Rather than eschew this tension, I regard it as a productive starting point for a reconsideration of the New Woman’s subversive potential beyond its accepted cultural scope and for a reappraisal of Dunbar-Nelson’s supposedly “sectional” activism. This assumption about her work derives from the analysis of a limited subset of short stories depicting unracialized female characters in the only two collections published in her lifetime. However, an examination of the extensive material made available posthumously reveals more radical experimentations with the New Woman that disrupt the archetype by throwing into relief its racial and class specificity. This paper compares well-known pieces like “The Woman” (1895) and “At Eventide” (1895) with lesser-known stories such as “Natalie” (c. 1898) and “Witness for the Defense” (c.1900) to argue that Dunbar-Nelson’s Creole heroines subvert the figure of the New Woman and repurpose it in the service of a more intersectional critique.</p
