Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 180
Book Description
RECIPE FOR A DISASTER: a healthy dose of foppish male chauvinism, equal parts of the seven deadly sins, and a self-abasing spouse. Mix them all together in a bowl with heavy helpings of conspicuous consumption, easy credit, a balloon mortgage, poverty, ignorance and disease then pour the contents over a 270 pound slab of one Ezechial Royale Orville. Slide the finished hulk into the unusually toasty oven of a special holiday and let it sit for about 24 hours, then watch what happens.

Ellen Glasgow and a Woman's Traditions
Author: Pamela R. Matthews
Publisher: University of Virginia Press
ISBN: 9780813915395
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 280
Book Description
Ellen Glasgow wrote and published nineteen novels as well as poems, short stories, essays, reviews, and an autobiography (published posthumously) in a career that spanned nearly fifty years. Until now, her writings have not been subject to feminist revaluation in the way that works of such writers as Charlotte Perkins Gilman or Willa Cather have been. In Ellen Glasgow and a Woman's Traditions Pamela R. Matthews initiates such a revaluation by taking into account not only Glasgow's gender and her perception of her role as a woman writer but the reader's gender and (mis)understanding of Glasgow. Using current feminist psychological theory, she assesses what Glasgow faced as a woman writer caught between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, examines the traditions in place at these times, and analyzes the influence on Glasgow of her female friendships. This shifting of critical perspective yields entirely new interpretations and closes the gap that has existed between standard criticisms of Glasgow and the effect that Glasgow has had on her readers.

Of Lovely Tyrants and Invisible Women
Author: Emma Domínguez-Rué
Publisher: Logos Verlag Berlin GmbH
ISBN: 383252813X
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 251
Book Description
This book examines images of female illness and invalidism as a metaphor of women's position of invisibility in Victorian and fin-de-siecle America, which pervade the fiction of the Virginia writer Ellen Glasgow (Richmond, 1873-1945). The study contends that the author explores the Victorian cult of invalidism to reveal the mechanisms of patriarchy: her novels warn against adhering to its values, since women are moulded to become epitomes of extreme delicacy and selflessness, being ultimately reduced to virtual inexistence. Many times physically incapacitating, Glasgow seems to suggest, the doctrine of female self-effacement always debilitates women's autonomy as human beings. The female invalids in Glasgow's fiction thus operate as uncanny mirrors of the self women become if they adhere to the traditional code of femininity and its adjoining principle of self-sacrifice.
