I am looking for an online and/or downloadable study guide for 20
Years At Hull House by Jane Adams. The guide should include things
such as an overview, author biography, summary, list of key
characters, historical context, critical overview, themes, further
readings, study questions etc. It should be something to help
understand the book, and learn more about it.

Clarification of Question by ryanperlman-ga on 13 Oct 2004 07:45 PDT

Thanks for the info tar_heel. The questions are great, and so is the
biography of Adams, but I need more comprehensive information on the
book iteself. A summary and overview and information on characters.
The purpose of this is something that can be assigned as supplemental
reading for students who don't understand the book, or who need more
information. Think of a Cliffs Notes type thing.

I haven't been able to find a single source that covers all of your
requests, so I am posting what I have found here.  Below you will find
several links to resources regarding Twenty Years at Hull House.  If
this type of information is helpful, let me know and I will post more
as an official answer.
