Resumen
Augusta Jane Evans (1835-1909) fue probablemente la novelista estadounidense más conocida del siglo XIX. Durante la Guerra Civil (1861-1865), logró la rara hazaña de ser inmensamente popular tanto en el Norte como en el Sur. Las heroínas de Evans estaban lejos del estereotipo de la dama sureña, pues lucharon por hacerse un lugar en una sociedad restrictiva en la que el papel de la mujer estaba severamente restringido. Este capítulo aboga por la inclusión de Evans en los cursos de grado y posgrado de literatura estadounidense del siglo XIX; también ofrece algunas ideas sobre cómo abordar la enseñanza de Evans.
Augusta Jane Evans (1835-1909) was probably the most wellknown American female novelist of the 19th century. During the Civil War (1861-1865), she achieved the rare feat of being immensely popular both in the North and in the South. Evans’ heroines were far from the stereotype of the Southern lady, for they fought to make room for themselves in their restrictive society, in which women’s roles were severely curtailed. This chapter argues for the inclusion of Evans in undergraduate and graduate courses of 19th-century American literature; it also offers some ideas about how to tackle the teaching of Evans.
