Free Book Lists
Because I just can't resist lists of forgotten women's novels: Eight Classic Female Bildungsromane You Should Know About If You Don't Already.
I daresay that most everyone who is interested in this sort of thing has probably heard of Louisa May Alcott's Moods (this list finally cracked me into going to Amazon and getting a Kindle copy; it's free if you're interested), and I've read about a couple of the others, but I had never heard of, for instance, Constance Fenimore Woolson's Anne, which looks delightful. I downloaded that one too, and considered getting Ruth Hall and The Morgesons as well, but there is such a thing as getting too many books at once, so I've set those aside for now. It's always nice to know that Kindle has a nearly endless supply of nineteenth century novels that I can plunder later.
(I also, while searching The Toast for that article, found this charming excerpt from one of Teddy Roosevelt's letters.)
