Methods of evaluation and analysis are explored, and of strategies for reporting and communicating research findings are suggested. Appendices and a glossary are also included.

Set against the backdrop of 19th-century American literature, this collection resonates with the burgeoning fascination for indigenous narratives while simultaneously offering a critique of the Romantic ideals prevalent during her time. Horsford's intricate verses capture the essence of myth and legend, inviting readers into a world where nature and humanity are intricately interwoven. Mary Gardiner Horsford, a prolific poet and advocate for Native American rights, drew inspiration from both her personal experiences and the rich tapestry of indigenous narratives that permeated her life. As a member of the literary circles in the late 1800s, her engagement with Native American communities informed her work, making her a vital voice in the quest for understanding and preserving these stories. Her intense commitment to social causes, particularly concerning the rights of indigenous peoples, shines through in her poignant and evocative poetry. I highly recommend "Indian Legends and Other Poems" to anyone interested in the intersection of literature, culture, and history. This profound collection not only enriches the reader's appreciation for Native American folklore but also serves as a reminder of the enduring power of poetry to transcend time and foster cultural empathy. Horsford's work is essential for scholars and casual readers alike who seek to explore the complexities of identity and storytelling.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
