Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reviews the cross-disciplinary debate sparked by renewed interest in Elinor Glyn’s life and legacy by film scholars and literary and feminist historians and offers a range of views of Glyn's cultural and historical significance and areas for future research. Elinor Glyn was a celebrity figure in the 1920s. In the magazines she gave tips on beauty and romance, on keeping your man and on the contentious issue of divorce. Her racy stories were turned into films – most famously, Three Weeks (1924) and It (1927). Decades on the ‘It Girl’ remains in common currency, defining the sexy, sassy and alluring young woman. She was beloved by readers of romance, and her films were distributed widely in Europe and the Americas. They were viewed by the judiciary as scandalous, but by others—Hollywood and the Spanish Catholic Church—as acceptably conservative. Glyn has become a peripheral figure in histories of this period, marginalized in accounts of the youth-centred ‘flapper era’. This book features scholarship by Stacy Gillis, Annette Kuhn, Nickianne Moody, Caterina Riba and Carme Sanmartí, Lisa Stead, Karen Randell, and Alexis Weedonand includes, translated for the first time, the intertitles for Márton Garas, 1917 film of Three Weeks, Három hét by Orsolya Zsuppán. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Women: A Cultural Review.

Book excerpt: Elinor Glyn's 'Six Days' is a narrative tour de force which embodies the expressive prose and energetic dialogue characteristic of Glyn's early 20th-century works. The novel, revered as a classic of world literature, intricately navigates the nuanced emotional landscape of its characters, all within the compact span of six pivotal days. Glyn's unique ability to intertwine high society romance with astute psychological insight is displayed within the text, aligning her with contemporaries that explore the human condition through the lens of personal relationships, class tension, and societal expectations. This special edition from DigiCat Publishing enlivens Glyn's work for a contemporary audience, maintaining the work's historical literary context while offering modern accessibility through both print and ebook formats. Elinor Glyn, born in 1864, was a pioneering British novelist and scriptwriter renowned for her contributions to popular fiction and the glamourization of romance. The creation of 'Six Days' can be attributed to Glyn's profound understanding and interpretation of Edwardian high society's dynamics, coupled with her own experiences and observations from within such circles. Her writings prompted broader societal discourse on love and sexuality, often offering bold, sometimes scandalous, perspectives that resonated with, and occasionally incited, her readership. 'Six Days' is thus recommended to both enthusiasts of Glyn's expansive oeuvre and newcomers alike. Those interested in exploring themes of love, social power structures, and character introspection within a classic literary framework will find Glyn's work profoundly rewarding. This edition, carefully reproduced by DigiCat Publishing, ensures that the legacy of Elinor Glyn's storytelling continues to captivate minds and stir the hearts of a modern readership, honoring the passion that she so emphatically believed literature should convey.
Download or read book Inventing the It Girl How Elinor Glyn Created the Modern Romance and Conquered Early Hollywood written by Hilary A. Hallett and published by Liveright Publishing. This book was released on 2022-07-26 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Publishers Weekly Summer Reads Selection The modern romance novel is elevated to a subject of serious study in this addictively readable biography of pioneering celebrity author Elinor Glyn. Unlike typical romances, which end with wedding bells, Elinor Glyn’s (1864–1943) story really began after her marriage up the social ladder and into the English gentry class in 1892. Born in the Channel Islands, Elinor Sutherland, like most Victorian women, aspired only to a good match. But when her husband, Clayton Glyn, gambled their fortune away, she turned to her pen and boldly challenged the era’s sexually straightjacketed literary code with her notorious succes de scandale, Three Weeks (1907). An intensely erotic tale about an unhappily married woman’s sexual education of her young lover, the novel got Glyn banished from high society but went on to sell millions, revealing a deep yearning for a fuller account of sexual passion than permitted by the British aristocracy or the Anglo-American literary establishment. In elegant prose, Hilary A. Hallett traces Glyn’s meteoric rise from a depressed society darling to a world-renowned celebrity author who consorted with world leaders from St. Petersburg to Cairo to New York. After reporting from the trenches during World War I, the author was lured by American movie producers from Paris to Los Angeles for her remarkable third act. Weaving together years of deep archival research, Hallett movingly conveys how Glyn, more than any other individual during the Roaring Twenties, crafted early Hollywood’s glamorous romantic aesthetic. She taught the screen’s greatest leading men to make love in ways that set audiences aflame, and coined the term “It Girl,” which turned actress Clara Bow into the symbol of the first sexual revolution. With Inventing the It Girl, Hallett has done nothing less than elevate the origins of the modern romance genre to a subject of serious study. In doing so, she has also reclaimed the enormous influence of one of Anglo-America’s most significant cultural tastemakers while revealing Glyn’s life to have been as sensational as any of the characters she created on the page or screen. The result is a groundbreaking portrait of a courageous icon of independence who encouraged future generations to chase their desires wherever they might lead.

Download or read book Love Across the Atlantic written by Brickman Barbara Jane Brickman and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2020-02-14 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winston Churchill famously described the political alliance between the US and UK as a 'special relationship', but throughout the cultural history of these two countries there have existed transatlantic 'special relationships' of another kind - affairs between British and American citizens who have fallen in love, with one another but often too with the idea(l) of that other place across the ocean. From romantic novelist Elinor Glyn in the 1920s to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle today, this collection examines some of the history, contemporary manifestations and enduring appeal of US-UK romance across popular culture. Looking at both historical and contemporary case-studies, drawn from across film, television, music, literature, news and politics, this is a timely intervention into the popular romantic discourse of US-UK relations, at a critical and transitional moment in the ongoing viability of the special relationship.
