The novel describes how three women are forced to come to terms with their identity, both as women and as sexual beings, in the small, conservative, gossipy city of New England, with recurring themes of hypocrisy, social inequalities and class privileges in a story that includes incest, abortion, adultery, lust and murder. It sold 60,000 copies in the first ten days since its release and remained on The New York Times' best-seller list for 59 weeks. The novel spawned a franchise that will last four decades. 20th Century-Fox adapted it as a 1957 film, and Metalious wrote a sequel to a novel published in 1959, titled Back to Peyton Place, which was shot in 1961 using the same title. The original 1956 novel was re- adapted in 1964, into what became a wildly successful 20th Century Fox television series that ran until 1969, and the term Peyton Place - an allusion to any town or group that holds scandalous secrets - entered the American lexicon. The daytime soap opera called Return to Peyton Place ran from 1972 to 1974, and the franchise is rounded out with two films made for television: Murder in Peyton Place and Peyton Place: The Next Generation. The setting of The Story begins in 1937 and continues through the years after World War II. Though he never specifically mentioned himself by name, the novel makes several references that suggest that Peyton Place is located within the state of New Hampshire: Vermont can be seen on the other side of the Connecticut River; [3]:189, 191 Lake Winnipesaukee is a short drive from the city; [3]:146 A nearby town in New England is called the White River[3]:189, 197 The character is spoken of as attending the New Hampton School of Boys; [3]:196 and a few mentions were made from a lake called Silver Lake,[3]:199, 200 of which are located in New England, three in the state of New Hampshire, in the cities of Harrisville, Hollis and Madison. It seems that the fictional Peyton Place is also a composite of several real New Hampshire towns: Metalious's hometown of Gilmanton, as well as Gilford, Laconia, Manchester and Plymouth, where at least some of the work was written at the Plymouth Inn on Main Street (the nights were demolished). [quote required] Grace Metalious and her husband George first thought about Potter Place (the name of a real community near Andover, New Hampshire). Realizing that their city should have a made-up name, they looked through the atlas and found Payton (the real city's name in Texas). They combined that with Place and changed it to e. That's how Peyton Place was created, which prompted comment: Wonderful — that's it, George. Peyton Place. Peyton Place, New Hampshire. Peyton Place, New England. Peyton Place, USA. Truly a composite of all the small towns where ugliness is poured head, and where people try to hide all the skeletons in their closets. [4] The characters and story The main plot follows the lives of three women: the lonely and repressed Constance MacKenzie, her extramarital daughter Allison and her employee Selene Cross, the girls on the other side of the tracks or from the huts. Several characters and events were drawn from events in nearby towns and people metalious actually knew. Selena Cross was based on Barbara Roberts, a 16-year-old girl from the village of Gilmanton Ironworks, who killed her father Sylvester after years of sexual abuse and buried his body under a sheep's pencil. In the novel, Selena kills her stepfather because incest at the time was considered too taboo for readers. Metalious's editor Kitty Messner made the change, to the author's disapproval and disapproval. [5] Constance leaves Peyton Place in New York at a young age and meets a man at the publishing company Allison MacKenzie, who is already married to children. Constance gets pregnant with MacKenzie's baby. MacKenzie dies a few years after the birth of his daughter, who is also called Allison. Constance and her daughter adopt Allison's last name before returning to Peyton Place as a widow and child, and Constance changes her daughter's date of birth to make it look legitimate. In Peyton Place, Nellie marries Lucas Cross shortly after the birth of their daughter Selena, although Selena is not Lucas's child. Paul, Lucas' son, and Selenin's half-brother left Peyton Place after accusing Lucas of stealing his money. Nellie and Lucas later had a child together: Joey, who lives with the couple and Selena in a shack, a poor part of town. When Selena turned 14, Lucas began abusing her, impregmonying her and leaving a local doctor in a troubled situation where he decided to have an abortion. The doctor forced Lucas to leave town, and after she found out, Nellie committed suicide by hanging. Leslie Harrington, the richest man in town, was devastated when he lost his son sooth, Rodney, in a car accident. The novelist Barbara Delinsky, author of the fictional Looking for Peyton Place (2006), summed up the story of Peyton Place on her website: Peyton Place opens in 1937. With the introduction of the small-town New Hampshire and its characters, the social layers are clearly defined. Among the well-wishers are Leslie Harrington, the owner of the mill, and his spoiled son Rodney, the good-natured doctor Matthew Swain and the exemplary Seth Buswell, the owner of the newspaper. The city's middle class is represented by the book's two main characters, Constance MacKenzie and her daughter Allison. The impoverished city is represented by Cross and her family. The city itself is a character, a seductively beautiful façade that hides a multitude of diseases... Constance, who gave birth to Allison in New York after an affair with a married man and then returned to Peyton Place pretending to be a widow, lives in fear that the truth about Allison's illegitimacy will come to light. Allison, who has few friends, alternately dreams of her wonderful father and what it's like to be a celebrity writer. Meanwhile, the elite power of Peyton Place has come together to discuss ways to manipulate zoning laws to rid the city of tar paper huts. And Lucas Cross, the owner of one such hut, is abusing his stepdaughter, Selena. Allison, who desperately wants a friend, is slapped with Selena, who is just as desperate to escape Lucas and poverty. But two girls have a lot of differences. While Allison wants Selena to share her love of bucolic little places like Road's End, Selena just wants to spend time in Allison's mother's dress store and, increasingly, talk to the boys. What's more, when Allison finally looks at the cabin where Selena lives, she's horrified by the misery and violence she sees in Lucas. In the end, Allison and Selena distance themselves because of Selena's closeness to Ted Carter. At the same time, a new high school principal arrives to catch the eye of Allison's mother, Constance, and exasperating forbidden thoughts.

External links Peyton Place at Faded Page (Canada) retrieved from By Peyton Place Grace Metalious in Gilmanton, New Hampshire, 1956. (Hanson Carroll/Life Images Collection/Getty Images))there was absolutely no precedent here for Peyton Place, the 1956 blockbuster novel by Grace Metalious. The book - which became one of the most famous television shows in history and arguably a template for the modern form of soap opera - was the product of more than a decade of writing, much of which was made while Metalious was locked in his troubled childhood home. AH, I'M And a mother of three, Metalious grew up in a poor family in New England, developing a penetrating awareness of class and sexual politics. When that consciousness reaches the site, it will tear her hometown apart and turn that torn hometown on to her. Peyton Place takes place mainly in the fictional New Hampshire town - unlike Manchester, the one where Metalious grew up, or Gilmanton, the one she lived in - and follows three female characters: a mother and her e-sibling daughter, as well as a young working-class woman from the huts. Metalious was pleased to hear the title of the book, which she thought was presented with a composite of all the small towns in which ugliness is beheaded, and where people try to hide all the skeletons in their closets For their time, and given that it was largely set in the years leading up to World War II, the book was bold, and contained, among other things, extramarital sex, incest, pregnancy, abortion and murder.

  • Parents and Surrogate Parents
    Parents and Surrogate Parents Harriet Jordan, 2003 Written as part of the M.Litt. program at the University of Sydney, in the subject Pulp Fiction: Medieval and Modern. The relationship most commonly represented in literature is probably the romantic/sexual relationship between a man and a woman (or, occasionally, between two people of the same gender). However, the parent-child relationship is found almost as frequently. This is not always a biological relationship: a text will often make it clear that two people from different generations exist in either a formal or informal surrogate parent-child relationship. The main action of Floris and Blauncheflour is initiated by the fairly standard situation of a parent who does not agree with his child’s choice of romantic partner. In this case, there is a slight twist, in that the Saracen king is effectively father to both children, even though he only has a blood relationship with Floris. However, when he realises that the children love each other, and “when they were of age, / That her love wolde noght swage, / Nor he might noght her love withdraw / When Florys shuld wife after the lawe”1, he shows no hesitation in sacrificing Blauncheflour to protect the future of his biological child. It is only the intervention of his Queen that prevents him from ordering Blauncheflour’s death; and, had Floris not attempted suicide over her supposed “death”, it is likely that he would never have learned the truth. Although he is ultimately redeemed, the King fails both his child and his surrogate child in the handling of this situation.

    DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A FEMINIST LITERARY PERSPECTIVE Susan Koppelman Cornillon A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 1975 Graduate School Representativ BOWLING GREEN STATE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY a. © 1975 SUSAN KOPPELMAN CORNILLON ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii 610310 -SM» A'W VMi .^00 ABSTRACT This study examines the need for feminist criticism and how best to fill it. Feminist criticism is needed to restore objectivity to a literature and criticism distorted by sexism. The most pernicious effects of masculine bias upon the cre­ ation and consumption of literature are expressed through the literary-critical establishment--publishers, critics, profes­ sors, and librarians. Sexist criticism in its most insidious form masks biased evaluations as objective description, and removes literature and criticism from its socio-historical context. The subjec­ tive distortion implicit in a sexist perspective is fundamen­ tally hierarchical; it imposes a vertical evaluative structure upon a multi-faceted socio-historical reality. A critical per­ spective that divorces evaluative distinctions from a socio- historical rationale, whilst claiming that these idealistic dis­ tinctions are anything more than objectifications of subjective bias, and uses that structure to determine the creation and con­ sumption of literature, seriously censors writers' and readers' perception of history and society, censorship that for women has proven spiritually crippling and murderous. So traditionally evaluative literary categorizations have been ignored. To liberate the literary-critical establishment from con­ trol by the masculino-centric critical conspiracy, means must be provided to unite feminist critics in creating and propaga­ ting feminist perspectives.
