Evelyn Scott
"This collection, which features an introduction and thirteen critical essays, is the first volume to focus on Scott's work rather than her intriguing yet troubled life and initiates a long-needed examination of Scott's innovations in fiction, memoir, and other genres. The various essays take diverse critical approaches to Scott's canon, including her best-known works - Escapade and The Wave - and explore her views on topics such as women, politics, religion, art and the South."--BOOK JACKET.
The Collected Poems of Evelyn Scott
Poetry. The Collected Poems of Evelyn Scott continues an ongoing National Poetry Foundation project to bring into print the work of poets who in their judgment deserve critical reconsideration. Born in 1893 and beginning her writing career in the late 1910s, Evelyn Scott belonged to a generation that radically and permanently transformed the role of women poets within American culture. This volume reprints, for the first time since their original publication, two books of poetry that Scott published in her lifetime, Precipitations (1920) and The Winter Alone (1930), as well as The Gravestones Wept, a collection of poetry that Scott wrote in the 1930s and 1940s. These previously unpublished poems reveal Scott's work to have ripened into a new lucidity and authority. Reviving traditional poetic forms to new purpose, she addressed the traumas of modernity with a sometimes startling prescience. Includes biographical introduction by Caroline Maun and preface by Burton Hatlen.

SCOTT-KING'S MODERN EUROPE

Background in Tennessee
Born Elsie Dunn in 1893 Clarksville, Tennessee, Evelyn Scott lived a tumultuous life that took her to New York, Brazil, western Europe, and the Caribbean. She published twelve novels during her lifetime and was a notable literary figure in the 1920s and 1930s. Published in 1937 alongside her penultimate novel, Background in Tennessee is an autobiographical work devoted to Scott’s Tennessee birthplace, her family’s history, and her broad view of Southern history. Her wide-ranging exploration of the south interweaves Scott’s personal history with discussions of colonial settlement of the region, local leadership of Clarksville and the larger Nashville area, and race relations. In this ne...
