Sarah Eliza Julia Ann Kennedy Ricketts and Sarah Ricketts to Julian Niemcewicz, December 8, 1805
Get PDFThe following letter was composed by Sarah Eliza Julia Ann Kennedy Ricketts (Sally) and Sarah Ricketts from London, England to Julian Niemcewicz in Elizabethtown, New Jersey. Sally wrote a few lines to her Uncle Niemcewicz where she informed him that she had a pin with a lock and key and her hair in it and planned to send it to him. Longed to see Aunt Susan, Cousin Peter, and many other dear friends. Her Grandpapa Jackson and all her dear friends with her were all well. She did not want to stay in the country for long because there were so many beggar men and poor little beggar children asking for money. Was in London when poor Lord Nelson was killed, all the streets were on fire and the British Coffee House was beautiful.
Sarah Ricketts also added a few lines. She had just received her sister’s letters of the 11th of Sept. and the 5th of Nov. and was mortified that Julian had not received any. Sarah was unsure how long they would stay in London but did not feel they would stay past June or July. John was getting his papers and power of attorney ready to go the following week and then they would go to Bath. Discussed their travels and plans for long term housing. Sarah thought it shabby to stay long without having some place of their own. Maria liked England better every day she was fortunate in making friends and had been to several balls. Well wishes to mutual friends and family.

Fight flight freeze
No full textFight Flight Freeze is a collection of nonfiction essays that blend personal narrative with research and contemplation. At their core, these essays are driven by questions about how we shape and define our lives. Through a series of encounters—with a libertarian survivalist and conspiracy theorist, with the wealthy patrons at Saks Fifth Avenue, with competitive stone-skippers, with Mormon missionaries, with the decaying town of my mother's youth—Fight Flight Freeze seeks answers to the question, "How do we decide how to live?" While the essays are rarely overtly political, they reflect the questions and anxieties aroused by coming into adulthood in the decade since 9/11. I ask how we shape our individual lives in relation to those around us—both loved ones and strangers, communities and governments, and the generations that have come before.M.F.A.by Sarah KennedyEssays
The 'true use of reading' : Sarah Fielding and mid eighteenth-century literary strategies.
No full textPhDThe aim of this thesis is to explore, by examining her life and
works, how Sarah Fielding (1710-68) established her identity as an author.
The definition of her role involves her notions of the functions of
writing and reading.
Sarah Fielding attempts to invite readers to form a sense of ties
by tacit understanding of her messages. As she believes that a work
of literature is produced through collaboration between the writer and
the reader, it is an important task in her view to show her attentiveness
toward reading practice. In her consideration of reading, she has two
distinct, even opposite views of her audience: on the one hand a familiar
and limited circle of readers with shared moral and cultural values and
on the other potential readers among the unknown mass of people. The
dual targets direct her to devise various strategies. She tries to
appeal to those who can endorse and appreciate her moral values as well
as her learning. Her writings and letters testify that she is sensitive
to the demands of the literary market, trying to lead the taste of readers
by inventing new forms.
The thesis opens with an overview of Sarah Fielding's career,
followed by a consideration of her critical attention to the roles of
reading. I go on to examine the narrative structures and strategies
she deploys, with a particular emphasis on her use of the epistolary
method. The following chapter deals with her attention to the reading
of the moral message tangibly embodied in her educational writing. It
is followed by an analysis of the activity which earned her a reputation
as a learned woman. Various as the forms of her works are, they invariably
reflect her attempt to balance herself between the two demands of
inventiveness and familiarity

Sarah Fielding: Satire and Subversion in the Eighteenth-Century Novel
No full textThis study of Sarah Fielding (1710―68) is an original contribution to Fielding scholarship that has a dual purpose: to support those who are striving to re-introduce her to the modern literary landscape in an effort to restore her eighteenth-century literary standing, and to firmly establish Fielding as an early feminist writer. It is argued here that throughout her oeuvre Fielding challenged prevailing traditions that denied women a choice, particularly in education, employment and marriage. These themes are also considered in the political treatises of Mary Astell (1666―1731) and Mary Wollstonecraft (1759―97), who are now widely recognised as feminist writers.
It is further argued that Fielding’s subversion in fiction of the English patriarchal system is underscored by her unorthodox performance in the literary arena. This is fully explored alongside her use of sentimentalism as a literary tool with which she challenges her seemingly inhumane society. Fielding’s interest in ‘the Labyrinths of the Mind’ (in modern terms, human psychology) will also be addressed as will her placement in the history of feminism and her placement in the sentimental novel tradition. Fielding’s performance as a literary critic will be compared with the few female authors who, like her, dared to publish literary criticism during her writing career. Accordingly, extracts from Fielding’s novels and her two critical pamphlets will be thoroughly examined.
An updated biography of Fielding that is also included here will provide evidence for a further claim, that her fiction is autobiographical in part. A comprehensive account of Fielding’s performance as a literary critic forms the final chapter of this work. It is the first full-length examination of her contribution to the genre and includes an appraisal of her recently unearthed critical pamphlet entitled A Comparison Between the Horace of Corneille and The Roman Father of Mr. Whitehead (1750) that is yet to be formerly attributed to her. Ultimately this study of Fielding will go far beyond what has previously been written about this remarkable eighteenth-century author, particularly regarding her feminist activity
