“Seemingly Uncouth Forms”: Letters at Mount Holyoke Female Seminary

Suzanne B. Spring

Abstract

Dispelling historical narratives in composition and rhetoric that largely depict nineteenth-century student compositions as “vacuous” themes, this archival study examines women’s compositions at Mount Holyoke Female Seminary as complex generic hybrids, in which the composition is fused with common social and dialogic forms.
