Download or read book Early Stories of Dorothy Canfield written by Dorothy Canfield Fisher and published by Cherry Tree Book. This book was released on 2000 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Early Stories of Dorothy Canfield - edited and with an introduction by Ida H. Washington. Long before American author Dorothy Canfield (1879-1958) won popularity and international acclaim with novels and short stories about social problems, she was writing essays and short stories in school notebooks. These early writings were never published but were kept in the archives of the University of Vermont. For scholars of American literature the early stories are important as foreshadowing of the mature author's narrative skill. For the general reader they are charming little sketches from the various environments that contributed a rich and diverse background to the experience of the mature author. Two narratives come from the years Dorothy spent in Paris with her artist mother Flavia Canfield. Two others are from rural Vermont, where Dorothy spent childhood summers with her fathers relatives. One is built on an early awareness of the human problems often hidden in larger historical events, in this case, the American Civil War. Critical material by Canfield biographer Ida H. Washington sets the stories in their historical and biographical context. Available from Cherry TreeBooks - $8.00 plus shipping.

Download or read book The Making of Middlebrow Culture written by Joan Shelley Rubin and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2000-11-09 with total page 439 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The proliferation of book clubs, reading groups, "outline" volumes, and new forms of book reviewing in the first half of the twentieth century influenced the tastes and pastimes of millions of Americans. Joan Rubin here provides the first comprehensive analysis of this phenomenon, the rise of American middlebrow culture, and the values encompassed by it. Rubin centers her discussion on five important expressions of the middlebrow: the founding of the Book-of-the-Month Club; the beginnings of "great books" programs; the creation of the New York Herald Tribune's book-review section; the popularity of such works as Will Durant's The Story of Philosophy; and the emergence of literary radio programs. She also investigates the lives and expectations of the individuals who shaped these middlebrow institutions--such figures as Stuart Pratt Sherman, Irita Van Doren, Henry Seidel Canby, Dorothy Canfield Fisher, John Erskine, William Lyon Phelps, Alexander Woollcott, and Clifton Fadiman. Moreover, as she pursues the significance of these cultural intermediaries who connected elites and the masses by interpreting ideas to the public, Rubin forces a reconsideration of the boundary between high culture and popular sensibility.
Download or read book Black Boy Seventy fifth Anniversary Edition written by Richard Wright and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2020-02-18 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A special 75th anniversary edition of Richard Wright's powerful and unforgettable memoir, with a new foreword by John Edgar Wideman and an afterword by Malcolm Wright, the author’s grandson. When it exploded onto the literary scene in 1945, Black Boy was both praised and condemned. Orville Prescott of the New York Times wrote that “if enough such books are written, if enough millions of people read them maybe, someday, in the fullness of time, there will be a greater understanding and a more true democracy.” Yet from 1975 to 1978, Black Boy was banned in schools throughout the United States for “obscenity” and “instigating hatred between the races.” Wright’s once controversial, now celebrated autobiography measures the raw brutality of the Jim Crow South against the sheer desperate will it took to survive as a Black boy. Enduring poverty, hunger, fear, abuse, and hatred while growing up in the woods of Mississippi, Wright lied, stole, and raged at those around him—whites indifferent, pitying, or cruel and Blacks resentful of anyone trying to rise above their circumstances. Desperate for a different way of life, he headed north, eventually arriving in Chicago, where he forged a new path and began his career as a writer. At the end of Black Boy, Wright sits poised with pencil in hand, determined to “hurl words into this darkness and wait for an echo.” Seventy-five years later, his words continue to reverberate. “To read Black Boy is to stare into the heart of darkness,” John Edgar Wideman writes in his foreword. “Not the dark heart Conrad searched for in Congo jungles but the beating heart I bear.” One of the great American memoirs, Wright’s account is a poignant record of struggle and endurance—a seminal literary work that illuminates our own time.

Download or read book The Persephone Book of Short Stories written by and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 477 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To celebrate having reached their one hundredth volume, here is Persephone's marvelous collection of short stories by women. They are very well chosen: some are by first-rank authors, including Katherine Mansfield, Edith Wharton, Dorothy Parker, Irène Némirovsky and Penelope Fitzgerald; others from well-known writers who have been championed by the imprint and deservedly gained fresh recognition, such as Dorothy Whipple and Mollie Panter-Downes. There are 30 stories in all, and all remarkably unhampered by their time. The first, Susan Glaspell's story of love and lexicography from 1909, seems as bold as the last, by Georgina Hammick (from 1986), though you might not have found such an unflinching description of a gynaecological procedure 103 years ago. Put-upon mothers, exasperated wives, discarded mistresses - shared tropes bind these disparate stories into a coherent whole. A stand-out is Norah Hoult's 1938 story of a wife whose husband is grateful for the money her gentleman friend pays her for sex.
