Charlotte Gordon
Charlotte Gordon is an American writer and associate professor of English at Endicott College. She was born in St.Louis, Missouri in 1962, and received her B.A in English and American Literature from Harvard College. She received her M.A in Creative Writing and her Ph.D in Literature from Boston University.〔(Endicott College Profile )〕
She was awarded the Massachusetts Book Award for non-fiction for her biography of the seventeenth-century poet, Anne Bradstreet, ''Mistress Bradstreet: The Untold Life of America's First Poet''.〔Massachusetts Book Award: Mistress Bradstreet http://www.massbook.org/massbooks2006.html〕 This was followed by ''The Woman Who Named God: Abraham's Dilemma and the Birth of Three Faiths'',〔(Review of ''The Woman Who Named God'' )〕 which in the author's own words describes the 'shadows, gaps and silences' in the biblical texts about Abraham, Sarah and Hagar.〔Gordon, Charlotte (2009) ''The Woman Who Named God: Abraham's Dilemma and the Birth of Three Faiths''. New York: Little, Brown, xv〕 Examining them as stories, and drawing on the Bible both as a source of literature and religion, she notes that 'some of the most crucial western ideas about freedom come from Hagar'.〔Gordon, Charlotte (2009) ''The Woman Who Named God: Abraham's Dilemma and the Birth of Three Faiths''. New York: Little, Brown, xiv〕
As may be known from Ms Gordon's website, (charlottegordonbooks.com) her most recent book, "Romantic Outlaws", about Mary Wollstonecraft and Mary Shelly, has been published. The book noted in review in the Manchester Guardian, "Romantic Outlaws: The Extraordinary Lives of Mary Wollstonecraft and Mary Shelley", does a creditable job of binding mother and daughter together again. The Wall Street Journal writes, "In the end, it is the ideas of Mary Wollstonecraft and Mary Shelley that give Charlotte Gordon’s vivid double biography its urgency."〔http://www.wsj.com/articles/vindication-of-a-righteous-woman-1437163449〕
BBC 4 selected Romantic Outlaws as its Book of the Week on August 10, 2015. 〔http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b064xjn1〕
