Vein of Iron Summary Thyra Samter Winslow, “The First Reader, ” New York World-Telegram, 29 August 1935 Vein of Iron, by Ellen Glasgow, is published today. That it will go immediately into the best-seller lists is inevitable. And this popularity reflects credit not on Miss Glasgow as much as it does on the reading public. When a book as fine and as true and as thoughtful as Vein of Iron is given general acclaim—and I'd like to bet that it will be—it seems to me that literature is pretty safe here in America.

Vein of Iron Summary Thyra Samter Winslow, “The First Reader, ” New York World-Telegram, 29 August 1935 Vein of Iron, by Ellen Glasgow, is published today. That it will go immediately into the best-seller lists is inevitable. And this popularity reflects credit not on Miss Glasgow as much as it does on the reading public. When a book as fine and as true and as thoughtful as Vein of Iron is given general acclaim—and I'd like to bet that it will be—it seems to me that literature is pretty safe here in America. I'm a little tired of authors “too good to be popular” and the idea that only shallow and tawdry books sell. Vein of Iron is rich in emotion and understanding, with a profound feeling for the fullness of life in the past and the present. And those who love Ellen Glasgow need not be told that her prose is beautiful—I've never known it as lovely as in Vein of Iron. The story is laid in the village of Ironside, in Shut In Valley, Virginia, and in the city of Queenborough. The most delightful as well as the most heartrending scenes are laid in Ironside. In this village the Fincastles have lived since they took the land from the Indians. They were simple people and just, with duty and religion more important than happiness, but with happiness found in small things. They were poor—had always been poor—but they still lived in “the manse,” and there was enough to eat...

Autorenporträt
Gholson, Ellen Anderson Glasgow, an American novelist who lived from April 22, 1873, to November 21, 1945, was the recipient of the 1942 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for her book in This Our Life. She received positive reviews for her 20 novels and short stories. Unlike the romantic escapism that typified Southern literature following Reconstruction, Glasgow, a lifelong Virginian, depicted the evolving South in a realistic way. The young Glasgow, who was born on April 22, 1873, in Richmond, Virginia, was raised differently from other ladies of her aristocratic class than her mother, Anne Jane Gholson (1831-1893), and her husband, Francis Thomas Glasgow. Glasgow had the equivalent of a high school education at home in Richmond due to her bad health, which was later diagnosed as chronic heart illness. Despite this, she studied extensively in European and British literature, social and political theory, and philosophy. Glasgow authored 20 novels, a book of short tales, a book of poetry, and a book of literary criticism during the course of more than 40 years of literary output. When she was 24 years old, her debut book, The Descendant (1897), was published under pseudonyms after being written in secret. After her mother passed away in 1893, she partially destroyed the manuscript.
