Good book What strikes his eye, though, is a striking 23-year old.Annabelhas been recently dumped and is "through with love and youngmen".She is not attracted to the judge but finds him to besophisticated and successful.She has been poor and desires a morecomfortable life. After a brief romance, they marry.However, theirgeneration gap quickly proves troublesome.About a year into theirmarriage, the judge has worn himself out trying to keep up with Annabel andbecomes ill.Annabel, meanwhile, seems to enjoy going to dances and thejudge's money has made her quite a catch.It isn't too long before shefinds a young man who sweeps her off her feet. Glasgow, a feminist writerleaves some questions at the end of this book.Is she against marriage? Is this story merely a look at the changing morals after WWI?Shouldpeople dump Victorian standards in search of pleasure seeking?Does sheapprove of Annabel dumping her kindly husband for a younger man?Perhaps,Glasgow wrote this book as a warning for older men wanting younger woman(and vica versa) as Glasgow seems to have a keen understanding of theinterrelationships between men and women. ...

Editorial Review Book Description In Ellen Glasgow: A Biography, Susan Goodman vividly brings the famously secretive writer to life, penetrating the myths, half-truths, and lies that have swirled around Glasgow since the publication of her first novel, The Descendent, in 1896. Drawing on previously unpublished papers and personal interviews, Goodman uncovers the engrossing details of Glasgow's family history, social milieu, personal tragedies, and literary career. Glasgow emerges from these pages as a woman of great courage, self-discipline, and indomitable will who survived tragedy after tragedy. Throughout her life, literature remained her driving passion. In the novels which were her life's work, Glasgow sought a commitment to truth beyond human weakness, to what she called the "living pulse" of experience. Goodman explores the genesis of each novel, detailing Glasgow's process of writing and offering incisive critical appraisals of her early successes and failures as well as the triumphs of her later years. In Ellen Glasgow: A Biography, Susan Goodman has emulated her subject perfectly, uncovering Glasgow's rich and complicated inner life and reasserting Glasgow's important position in America's literary history. |

Rereading Vein of Iron
A vein of iron through life's struggles and disappointments The title refers to the vein of iron within the characters, especially the women, which keeps them going throughout adversity as they struggle through their personal challenges as well as the social changes creating upheaval around them. The love of Ada's life, Ralph McBride, is stolen by the trickery of a supposed best friend. He eventually does come back to her as a soldier off to fight in the World War and their two-day illicit romance results in a pregnancy, which alienates her from her beloved Grandmother. Later, after her lover comes back from war, disillusioned by his experiences on the battlefield, their marriage is marked with more disappointment and struggle as they leave their beloved mountain home and move to a large town. When the Depression hits, and her husband loses his job, she finds work selling gloves in a shop where her wages keep getting reduced and the family struggles to put food on the table. There's always compassion though for those even less fortunate and we get to know their small community of neighbors. There were a lot of themes going on at once in spite of the simplicity of the words. Yet the story itself was so engaging that I was reading it on the bus one day and went two stops past my usual stop. The sense of place is dominant throughout and I was transported into the author's world. It was not always a pleasant place to be, especially during those Depression years, but I totally related to it all, and admire the "vein of iron" in the author, as well as in her characters. Recommended.
Thoughtful Portrayal of Early 20th Century Rural Virginia
Solid Glasgow As the storycommences, Ada's boyfriend, Ralph, and her have a fairly seriousrelationship.However, Ada's best friend, Janet, who is rich and spoiledlikes Ralph and wants him.Ada and Ralph have a fight at a party and Ralphgoes home with Janet.Ralph was caught in Janet's room (looking for aphotograph) and was forced to marry her because of this moraltransgression.Janet had schemed this from the beginning. Ralph'smarriage doesn't work and divorces Janet before the start of World War I. Before Ralph leaves for France, he and Ada have a weekend in the woods andAda eventually winds up pregnant.However, Ada is willing to accept thescorn because they were 2 days of bliss.When Ralph returns from the warthey marry. During the roaring 20's they move to a big city and beginacquiring possessions and money.However, Ralph is injured in a caraccident and they are forced to spend their savings.Just after hisrecovery, the Great Depression hits and they find themselves in direstraits. The purpose of Glasgow's epic tale is happiness.Ada and Ralphare reminded often that they experience the deepest happiness when they aretogether. Happiness in possessions is shallow and when examined for their"true happiness" it is often revealed to be not even present. Happiness can also be a double-edged sword; often when life takes awayhappiness one remembers with regret other times when one was happy.Adawonders throughout the book why God allows happiness to be fleeting. Thebook was very slow to start.About 40 pages into it I was debating onputting it away.However, I gave it another 50 pages and it was gettingbetter. I am glad I made my way through it.The descriptions and scenes ofthe desperation, especially those of the Great Depression, rival those ofSteinbeck's.Glasgow's characters are typical and are similar to thosefound in her other books.Her examples of the moral changes that cameafter the first world war are also priceless (I loved it when Ada wasshocked when her boy came home and said the world "Lousy".) Also, one can see many similarities between the roaring 20's (and itsdeclining morals) with those of the 90's.The characters worried and saidalmost the same things that newspaper pundits are saying today. ...

Editorial Review Book Description Covering more than sixty years, Perfect Companionship collects some 250 letters to and from Glasgow, many published here for the first time. The correspondents include Glasgow's family members, as well as prominent Richmonders. Also included are letters to and from authors such as Radclyffe Hall, Margaret Mitchell, and Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, artists Malvina Hoffman and Clare Leighton, publishing figures Blanche Knopf and Irita Van Doren, and spouses of literary and academic figures such as Eleanor Brooks, wife of Van Wyck Brooks, and Bessie Zaban Jones, wife of Howard Mumford Jones. The letters are set in their proper context by a wealth of useful features, including a substantial introduction, a complete chronology of Glasgow's life, a comprehensive calendar listing all of her known correspondence with women, and a biographical register identifying all correspondents and persons mentioned in the letters. The result is a collection valuable not only to Glasgow scholars but also to any reader drawn to the South and the great contribution made by women to its literature and culture. |

Long-winded Glasgow book The 8-year-old becomes acquaintedwith her mother's best-friend's husband.Through the years they are closeand share a close bond. Eventually, she falls in love with him despiteknowing she shouldn't.Not until the daughter comes of age, and the wifefinds out, tragedy strikes. The title, I believe, comes from the lack ofthe exposure and isolation that the girl received.She knows little aboutexcept her small environment.I think this parallels the current attitudesthat was prevalant in those days about not wanting to talk about troublingthings, especially by women. Overall, the first half of the book wasexceedingly dull and a bit confusing.There was a time when I almostconsidered putting it down, but I am glad I stuck with it.There are manynuggets of wisdom about life and man/woman relationships that can be foundin the book. ...
