"Another Beecher Stowe."

The judges at state said if she had published her books earlier she could
have caused the Civil War. This article is one of several things I added in
response to their remarks. Quotes from this article support my thesis that
she did not cause the Civil War, but did keep it from getting bigger by
publishing
Journal of a Residence on a Georgia Plantation in England so
that England would not support the confederacy.

James talked about his good friend Frances Anne in this book. I used a
quote from it to show how Fanny had connections. She knew famous
people and they thought highly of her.


Massachusetts: Harvard University Press, 2000.


This was a really good reference book. I used it for all of the long
passages of Fanny’s words on my site. This is the backbone of my
research. Whenever I found a quote on a site from one of the journals I
could find it in here to put it in context. Sometimes sites would include only
a small portion of a quote, but I could find the rest of it here.

At regionals the judges told me to give some information about what
Fanny did later in life. This book told about what happened to her after she
and Pierce divorced. I used this information on the later life page.

I looked at this publication to determine what genres Fanny wrote. This is
a novel Fanny wrote at age 80. It is mentioned in the list of things Fanny
wrote on the author page and also on the later life page.


In 1838-1839. New York: Alfred A Knopf, 1961.

This is her most famous book. It is said to have "put in the shade" Mrs.
Harriett
Beecher Stowe. This book had some interesting quotes which I used
before the state level. For Nationals I added a whole page devoted to this
book, because I had so many quotes and book reviews referring to it.

This gives Fanny’s background in the theatre, reveals the level of her
family’s fame, and tells that she and her family had "genius." I used a
quote from it on my second actress page, for support.

At the state level the judges suggested that I search for a review of one of
Fanny’s plays. This article reflects on her portrayal of Juliet in Romeo and
Juliet, the first time she was seen on stage, telling of how powerful her
character was, and how unexpected it was for her debut. It is used on my
second actress page.

This article distinctly shows how amazing Fanny’s acting was. "The
Elocutionist of the Age" is a bold statement, but judging by my other
reviews of Fanny’s reading, it is practically an understatement. It also had
a poem about her. I used a quote and the poem on my second actress
page.

I found one passage from Pierce was published here. It shows how cruel
Pierce was. And what her thought of the women’s place in society. It is
obvious from this quote who disagreeable Pierce was.

In this essay by Edgar Allan Poe, he uses Fanny as an example, saying
that it wasn’t until Fanny wrote in her journal that a certain stream in
Philadelphia was beautiful that people started paying more attention to it.
It shows people listened to her.

For regionals and state I had used a quote from this book review that I
found on another website. But by nationals I found the entire article in its
original context, and discovered the site I originally found it on had not
used the best part of the article. For nationals, I then added a whole page
for Journal of a Residence on a Georgia Plantation and put the longer
quote and the other book reviews on it.



http://www.harpers.org/archive/1863/08


This was a book review which I used a quote from. It brags about Journal
of a Residence on a Georgia Plantation, and for nationals I moved it from
the author page to the Journal of a Residence on a Georgia Plantation
