New book is first serious study of Jane's life and work
Jane Dolinger: The Adventurous Life of an American Travel Writer, by Lawrence Abbott. New York: Palgrave Macmillan.
After five years of research and writing, author Lawrence Abbott has produced the first book-length study of Jane Dolinger's life and work, and the first work of any kind to examine her literary output as a significant part of the travel writing of her era. It provides both an entertaining account of her many travel adventures and a thoughtful assessment of her work, including all of her books and her best periodical articles.
Early praise for the book notes its groundbreaking achievement and value for casual readers and literary scholars alike.
". . . Abbott's careful and sympathetic study places this amazing popular writer's life in its historical and literary context." Robin Roberts, Professor of English and Women's and Gender Studies, Louisiana State University.
". . . To learn of her exploits and read her travel pieces, one wonders why she isn't already among the top tier of the most admired women in history." Tina Santi Flaherty, author of What Jackie Taught Us: Lessons from the Remarkable Life of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis
