ISBN:  9781594201608 : 1594201609 : Description:  xv, 287 p. : ill. ; 25 cm. Requests:  0 Summary:  A surprising and scandalous story of how the interaction within a group of exceptional and uniquely talented characters shaped and changed American thought at the close of the Civil War. Benfey takes the seemingly arbitrary image of the hummingbird and traces its "route of evanescence" as it travels in circles to and from the creative wellsprings of the age: from the naturalist writings of abolitionist Thomas Wentworth Higginson to the poems of his wayward pupil Emily Dickinson; into the mind of Henry Ward Beecher and within the writings and paintings of his famous sister, Harriet Beecher Stowe. A Summer of Hummingbirds unveils how, through the art of these great thinkers, the hummingbird became the symbol of an era, an image through which they could explore their controversial (and often contradictory) ideas of nature, religion, sexuality, family, time, exoticism, and beauty.--From amazon.com.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 811.4 Be Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 811.4 Be Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 811.4 Be Checked In Add Copy to MyList
