    EDNA FERBER’S WOMEN CHARACTERS, 1911 – 1930, AND THE REINTERPRETATION OF THE AMERICAN DREAM THROUGH A FEMALE LENS A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of The School of Continuing Studies And the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts In Liberal Studies By Anne Efman Abramson, B.A. Georgetown University Washington, D.C. April 30, 2010 EDNA FERBER’S WOMEN CHARACTERS, 1911 – 1930, AND THE REINTERPRETATION OF THE AMERICAN DREAM THROUGH A FEMALE LENS Anne E. Abramson, B.A. Mentor: Michael Collins, Ph. D. ABSTRACT Edna Ferber (1885‐1963) was a Pulitzer Prize‐winning author and one of the most popular writers of her time. Today, however, she is rarely read in schools or colleges, although her plays are still produced, and the films based on her novels, plays and short stories continue to be appreciated by classic film lovers. This thesis demonstrates how Edna Ferber created female characters in the early years of the twentieth century who struggled against the constraints of society’s traditional female roles, who were the first in their nontraditional professions, and who achieved their own version of the American Dream. Edna Ferber also revisited American history with stories that highlighted women’s contributions to America. This thesis first introduces Edna Ferber, her background and her early years drawing from Ferber’s two autobiographies, A Peculiar Treasure, 1939, and ii A Kind of Magic, 1963. Second, it discusses the New Woman at the turn of the century; the American Dream, historically and in relation to Ferber’s female characters; and Edna Ferber as a middlebrow modern writer whose literary output had powerful cultural agency.

  • Notes to the Introduction

    Notes to the Introduction

    Notes Notes to the Introduction 1. Two biographies encapsulate the impact of feminism on the critical study of American women's writing: Sharon O'Brien, Willa Cather: The Emerging Voice (New York and Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1987) and Cynthia Griffin Wolff, A Feast of Words: The Triumph of Edith Wharton (New York: Oxford University Press, 1977). Wolff, for instance, argues that Wharton had been emotionally starved as a child, and that her 'feast of words' provided compensation for this trauma. Both Wolff and O'Brien write a feminist psychobiography of their subject. 2. On the various paradigm shifts in American literary studies see Philip Fisher, l\.merican Literary and Cultural Studies since the Civil War', in Stephen Greenblatt and Giles Gunn (eds), Redrawing the Boundaries: The Transformation of English and American Literary Studies (New York: MLA, 1992), pp. 232-50.

Almost a century ago, they were writing about race, immigration, economic disparity, drug addiction, and other issues our society is dealing with today with a reneWed sense of urgency. In spite of their extraordinary popularity, by the time they died within a feW months of each other in 1968, their reputations had fallen into eclipse. This dissertation focuses on Ferber’s and Hurst’s fiction published betWeen approximately 1910 and 1935, the years in Which both authors enjoyed the highest critical and popular esteem. Perhaps because these realistic narratives generally do not engage in the stylistic experimentation of the literary world around them, literary scholars came to undervalue their Work.

    Canonicity and the American Public Library: the Case of American Women Writers

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Illinois Digital Environment for Access to Learning and... Canonicity and the American Public Library: The Case of American Women Writers Sarah Wadsworth Abstract Beginning with an overview of the debate over American women writers and the academic canon, this essay inventories four clusters of American women writers—domestic novelists, regionalists, mod- ernists, and writers of diverse ethnicities—within a representative sampling of small-town public libraries across the Midwest from the late nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century. The survey reveals some surprising disjunctures that run counter to trends in the academy. It also highlights the role publishers and bibliographers have played in establishing favored texts for a general readership and demon- strates that publishers of literary classics and bibliographies geared toward librarians have not always promoted the same texts as their academic counterparts. On the whole, it concludes, women writ- ers fared quite well in the hands of publishers and public libraries promoting “the classics” at the same time that they suffered at the hands of major textbook publishers and scholarly editors intent on defining “the canon.” At the 1981 Modern Language Association annual convention, a “New American Literary History” forum sponsored a special session on the topic “A New American Literature Anthology.” Led by Judith Fetterley and Joan Schulz of the MLA’s Commission on the Status of Women, the session sparked a lively dialogue on the neglect of women writers in Amer- ican literature. The commission had recently undertaken a study of the representation of works by women in standard classroom anthologies, and the results were discouraging.

    Jim Crow, Jett Rink, and James Dean: Reconstructing Ferber's Giant

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Biodiversity Informatics Jim Crow, Jett Rink, and James Dean 5 Jim Crow, Jett Rink, and James Dean: Reconstructing Ferber’s Giant (1952-1956) J. E. Smyth In December 1954, America’s best-selling historical novelist, Edna Ferber, wrote to director George Stevens emphasizing her continued interest in his production of her latest book, Giant. She believed that Giant’s value lay in its exposure of racial prejudice against Mexican Americans in Texas, and that its racial themes had become “more vital, more prevalent today in the United States than . when I began to write the novel.”1 Ferber hoped that one day Anglo oil millionaires like Bick Benedict and Jett Rink, the originators and perpetu- ators of these inequalities in the economic and social hierarchies of America’s new West, would be “anachronisms like the dear old covered wagons and the California gold-rush boys.”2 Later in May 1955, when shooting first began on the film, Ferber wrote to Henry Ginsberg, producer and co-founder of the inde- pendent film company, Giant Productions, “I don’t quite know why the motion picture presentation of Giant interests and fascinates me much more than the screen career of any of my other novels or plays. That goes for Show Boat, So Big, Cimarron, and many others. Perhaps it is because behind the characters and events in Giant there stands a definite meaning, a purpose.”3 Although Ferber had considered writing a historical novel about Texas as early as 1939, she only started to research the topic seriously after the war.
