Rose Terry Cooke (1827–1892)
No full textAt least two Rose Terry Cookes command our attention a hundred years after the historical woman\u27s death. One, the writer of realist short stories, has long been recognized as a pioneer of New England regional fiction, an innovator in the use of dialect, and the forerunner of works by Rebecca Harding Davis and Harriet Beecher Stowe, among others...This Rose Terry Cooke does indeed deserve the recognition she has been receiving since 1967, when Jay Martin wrote that her work had been unjustly ignored by most historians of American literature. However, there is another, quite different Rose Terry Cooke, whose compositions have been misunderstood and dismissed while the realist writer has prospered. This is the romantic Rose Terry, best encountered in her first volume of poems (1861). Whereas the presiding spirit of Cooke\u27s realist fiction is temperate, decent, honest, practical, warm-hearted, and ready to praise such Yankee virtues as faculty and hard work, this other, impulsive spirit luxuriates in indolence, passionate sexuality, extreme and even cruel emotions, strange poses, and fantasies of terror. Hardly respectable by nineteenth-century standards, she was politely ignored by the critics and has remained virtually unknown ever since

“You Ain't No Christian, Not ‘Cordin’ to Gospel Truth”: The Literary Theology of Rose Terry Cooke
No full text New England regionalist writer Rose Terry Cooke, energized by the transformation of nineteenth-century evangelical Protestantism, used a variety of narrative strategies to convey her practical theology. Her fiction, which appeared in mainstream literary magazines as well as antebellum Protestant periodicals, betrays religious anxieties not dissimilar to those dominating public discourse today. </jats:p

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Trapped in Bluebeard\u27s Chamber: Rose Terry Cooke and Nineteenth-Century Desperate Housewives.
Get PDFOften overlooked in the study of nineteenth-century American literature, the New England writer Rose Terry Cooke elicited great popular appeal during the peak of her career. The admiration Cooke received from her readers and fellow writers compels one to question Cooke’s present-day obscurity. Cooke’s fiction and poetry seem inconsistent with the attitudes she express in her non-fiction, particularly concerning religion and women’s suffrage. She portrays women in miserable marriages, desperately looking for an escape. These “brides of Bluebeard” find different ways to cope with their predicament. While most never truly escape, many use (1) religious devotion, (2) masochism, and (3) homosocial relations as “coping mechanisms” in their plight. I identify each of these reactions to Bluebeard figures in Cooke’s writing in order to understand the contradictions in her works, for, like Cooke, these brides were products of their culture, torn between duty to self and duty to others
