Produktbeschreibung

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

Ellen Glasgow (1873-1945) was a notable American novelist, hailing from Richmond, Virginia, whose literary work primarily focused on the changing world of the South in the face of modernizing influences. Born on April 22, 1873, into an upper-class Virginia society, Glasgow's insight into the Southern aristocracy is evident within her deeply nuanced characters and their interactions. Glasgow's significant contributions to literature include not only 'Vein of Iron' (1935), which poignantly explores the resiliency of the human spirit through the life of its heroine Ada Fincastle, but also an array of other important works such as 'In This Our Life' (1941), which won her the Pulitzer Prize. Her narrative style is often characterized by its naturalism and psychological depth, distinguishing her among her contemporaries as a discerning critic of social stratification and the plight of women in the patriarchal South (Godbold, E. Stanley Jr., 'Ellen Glasgow: A Biography', 1994). Glasgow's legacy endures through her rich portrayals of Southern life and her unflinching examination of the complexities of human nature and society.
