Download or read book Alone in the Dawn written by Karen Alkalay-Gut and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2008-09-01 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alone in the Dawn is the first full-length study of life and work of Adelaide Crapsey, an American poet who lived at the same time and often in the same places as Gertrude Stein, H.D. (Hilda Doolittle), Ezra Pound, W.B. Yeats, and Virginia Woolf, but whose artistic goals were antithetical to those of her literary contemporaries. Dedicated to understanding the scientific basis of literature, Crapsey invented the cinquain, a poetic form based on principles of stress and meter, and conducted an intensive critical study of prosody. Placing Crapsey's work within its critical and historical context, Karen Alkalay-Gut's biography presents an inventive poet who worked outside the mainstream of twentieth-century poetry. The daughter of an Episcopal priest, Crapsey was raised in a liberal environment that encouraged great expectations for women. She excelled in her studies at a private girls' school in Wisconsin and then at Vassar College. Described as a bewitching, wraithlike figure, Crapsey captivated teachers and peers alike with her innocence, wit, and mischievous irreverence, seeming to embody the very ideal of the 1900s "new woman." Her college roommate, novelist Jean Webster, later used Crapsey as a model for some of the progressive and spirited female protagonists in her fiction. Crapsey never fulfilled the promise of her early success. Before succumbing to tuberculosis at age thirty-six, she had to sacrifice years of her life in search of health rather than the pursuit of truth. Her completion of a major article on her research and interpretation of metrics was followed by a devastating physical collapse. In a last, desperate attempt to find a cure, Crapsey was sent to a famous sanatorium at Saranac Lake in upper New York state. Though required to remain immobile and completely isolated, she managed, in the months before her death, to collect her poems in a volume she called her "funeral urn." When Crapsey's posthumous book of selected poems appeared in 1914, readers were unable to separate the work from her death, associating Crapsey with the popular literary stereotype of the beautiful young writer consumed by her fiery artist's soul. Yet Crapsey's life was not romantic drama but a grim, never-ending encounter with illness, grief, and impecunity, a losing struggle between ambition and death. In Alone in the Dawn, Alkalay-Gut reveals within the lines of Crapsey's poetry the tragic, truncated eloquence of her life.

Download or read book American Women s Track and Field written by Louise Mead Tricard and published by McFarland. This book was released on 1996-01-01 with total page 772 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1985 the Vassar College Athletic Association ignored the constraints placed on women athletes of that era and held its first-ever womens field day, featuring competition in five track and field events. Soon colleges across the country were offering women the opportunity to compete, and in 1922 the United States selected 22 women to compete in the Womens World Games in Paris. Upon their return, female physical educators severely criticized their efforts, decrying "the evils of competition." Wilma Rudolphs triumphant Olympics in 1960 sparked renewed support for womens track and field in the United States. From 1922 to 1960, thousands of women competed, and won many gold medals, with little encouragement or recognition. This reference work provides a history, based on many interviews and meticulous research in primary source documents, of womens track and field, from its beginnings on the lawns of Vassar College in 1895, through 1980, when Title IX began to create a truly level playing field for men and women. The results of Amateur Athletic Union Womens Indoor and Outdoor Track and Field Championships since 1923 are given, as well as full coverage of female Olympians.

Download or read book Elizabeth Bishop in Context written by Angus Cleghorn and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-08-26 with total page 825 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elizabeth Bishop is increasingly recognised as one of the twentieth century's most original writers. Consisting of thirty-five ground-breaking essays by an international team of authors, including biographers, literary critics, poets and translators, this volume addresses the biographical and literary inception of Bishop's originality, from her formative upbringing in New England and Nova Scotia to long residences in New York, France, Florida and Brazil. Her poetry, prose, letters, translations and visual art are analysed in turn, followed by detailed studies of literary movements such as surrealism and modernism that influenced her artistic development. Bishop's encounters with nature, music, psychoanalysis and religion receive extended treatment, likewise her interest in dreams and humour. Essays also investigate the impact of twentieth-century history and politics on Bishop's life writing, and what it means to read Bishop via eco-criticism, postcolonial theory and queer studies.
