Summary: Constance Fenimore Woolson was one of the most popular writers of the 19th century. Her friendship with fellow writer Henry James would last decades, and her life would carry her from the East coast of America to Florida to England, France and Italy, and though her life was full of drama, excitement and fame, for nearly a hundred years she's been known only for a story of her death. Our guest, Dr. Anne Boyd Rioux, is changing that with her biography of Woolson, Portrait of a Lady Novelist. We join forces to help put this astonishingly brilliant writer back in the "canon."
