This (Last Two) Weeks' (Slightly Belated) Acquisitions

(Not that much got acquired...)

• Anne Hebert, Kamouraska (A List, 2013).  In nineteenth-century Quebec, a young woman's love life becomes...complicated.  (Lift Bridge)
• Gail Turley Houston, Victorian Women Writers, Radical Grandmothers, and the Gendering of God (Ohio, 2013).  Analyzes how women writers imagined "goddess" figures (ranging from the Virgin Mary to Greek goddesses) in order to advance social reform.  I'm reviewing this for Choice.  (Review copy)
