Constance Fenimore Woolson and Edith Wharton: perspectives on landscape and art (ISBN 9781572331945) has an incorrect description.
The description of the book that is posted is for another book entirely. This is not a book by Cash about Flannery O'Connor - that is an error. This error is also present on Amazon, b&n, etc.
The correct description of the book is:
"The first study to draw connections between Constance Fenimore Woolson and Edith Wharton, this book explores the contrasting ways in which these two important writers responded to the rapidly changing landscapes of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Sharon L. Dean considers the travel essays of Woolson and Wharton, as well as their fiction, and contextualizes their work with the rise in tourism and with evolving theories and techniques of landscape design. She argues that for both writers, the manner in which they saw and transcribed landscape informed their ways of seeing themselves as artists. Full of fresh insights into the literary achievements of both Woolson and Wharton, Dean's book will also prompt readers to reconsider their own responses and obligations to landscape and how those responses are shaped by their experiences and by larger cultural forces."--BOOK JACKET.
(Also, the use of ampersands in the goodreads title prevents it from appearing in search results that include the word "and.")
