American Fiction, 1901-1925
A 1997 bibliography of American fiction from 1901-1925.
Love and power in the nineteenth century
This fascinating biography of a Gilded Age marriage closely examines the dynamic flow of power, control, and love between Washington blue blood Violet Blair and New Orleans attorney Albert Janin. Based on their voluminous correspondence as well as Violet's extensive diaries, it offers a thoroughly intimate portrait of a fifty-four-year union which, in many ways, conformed to societal norms yet always redefined itself in order to fit the needs and willfulness of both husband and wife. With abundant documentary evidence to draw on, Laas ties this compelling story to broader themes of courtship behavior, domesticity, gender roles, extended family bonds, elitism, and societal stereotyping. Deeply researched and beautifully written, Love and Power in the Nineteenth Century has the dual virtue of making an important historical contribution while also appealing to a broad popular audience.
A Romantic Young Lady
Robert Grant's novel 'A Romantic Young Lady' is a captivating tale that weaves together elements of romance, societal norms, and personal struggle in the late 19th century. Grant's writing style is characterized by its rich descriptions, nuanced characterizations, and exploration of complex social themes. The novel is set within the backdrop of a rapidly changing America, offering a glimpse into the lives of the upper class and their interactions with the burgeoning middle class. Through the protagonist's journey, Grant delves into the tension between traditional expectations and personal desires, ultimately questioning the confines of societal conventions. 'A Romantic Young Lady' stands out for its lyrical prose and insightful exploration of human nature within a specific historical context.
On the Divide
On the Divide analyzes the iconic image that Cather helped develop for herself, in contrast to the anonymous face she adopted for promotional activities and the very different private self she shared only with friends and family. Delving into CatherOCOs correspondence and the little-known promotional material she produced anonymously, David Porter provides new insight into the extentOCoand directionOCoof her control. He also considers the contrasting influences of Mary Baker Eddy, whose biography Cather ghostwrote, and Sarah Orne Jewett on the authorOCOs emerging artistic persona. The study goes on to explore the many ways in which these OC dividesOCO in CatherOCOs life found expression in her writing. Extending from CatherOCOs early stories to her final novel, PorterOCOs book documents the degree to which CatherOCOs understanding of her own different and often conflicting sides, and of her penchant for playing diverse roles, enabled her as a novelist to create characters so torn, so complex, and so profoundly human.
