  • Ellen Glasgow's in This Our Life
    69 Ellen Glasgow’s In This Our Life DOI: 10.2478/abcsj-2019-0016 American, British and Canadian Studies, Volume 33, December 2019 Ellen Glasgow’s In This Our Life: “The Betrayals of Life” in the Crumbling Aristocratic South IULIA ANDREEA MILICĂ Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iași, Romania Abstract Ellen Glasgow’s works have received, over time, a mixed interpretation, from sentimental and conventional, to rebellious and insightful. Her novel In This Our Life (1941) allows the reader to have a glimpse of the early twentieth-century South, changed by the industrial revolution, desperately clinging to dead codes, despairing and struggling to survive. The South is reflected through the problems of a family, its sentimentality and vulnerability, but also its cruelty, pretensions, masks and selfishness, trying to find happiness and meaning in a world of traditions and codes that seem powerless in the face of progress. The novel, apparently simple and reduced in scope, offers, in fact, a deep insight into various issues, from complicated family relationships, gender pressures, racial inequality to psychological dilemmas, frustration or utter despair. The article’s aim is to depict, through this novel, one facet of the American South, the “aristocratic” South of belles and cavaliers, an illusory representation indeed, but so deeply rooted in the world’s imagination. Ellen Glasgow is one of the best choices in this direction: an aristocratic woman but also a keen and profound writer, and, most of all, a writer who loved the South deeply, even if she exposed its flaws. Keywords : the South, aristocracy, cavalier, patriarchy, southern belle, women, race, illness The American South is an entity recognizable in the world imagination due to its various representations in fiction, movies, politics, entertainment, advertisements, etc.: white-columned houses, fields of cotton, belles and cavaliers served by benevolent slaves, or, on the contrary, poverty, violence and lynching.

  • EMPIRICAL TESTS of COPYRIGHT TERM EXTENSION Christopher Buccafusco† & Paul J
    0001-0044_BUCCAFUSCO_081313_WEB (DO NOT DELETE) 8/13/2013 4:50 PM DO BAD THINGS HAPPEN WHEN WORKS ENTER THE PUBLIC DOMAIN?: EMPIRICAL TESTS OF COPYRIGHT TERM EXTENSION Christopher Buccafusco† & Paul J. Heald †† ABSTRACT According to the current copyright statute, copyrighted works of music, film, and literature will begin to transition into the public domain in 2018. While this will prove a boon for users and creators, it could be disastrous for the owners of these valuable copyrights. Therefore, the next few years will likely witness another round of aggressive lobbying by the film, music, and publishing industries to extend the terms of already-existing works. These industries, and a number of prominent scholars, claim that when works enter the public domain, bad things will happen to them. They worry that works in the public domain will be underused, overused, or tarnished in ways that will undermine the works’ economic and cultural value. Although the validity of their assertions turns on empirically testable hypotheses, very little effort has been made to study them. This Article attempts to fill that gap by studying the market for audiobook recordings of bestselling novels, a multi-million dollar industry. Data from this study, which includes a novel human-subjects experiment, suggest that term-extension proponents’ claims about the public domain are suspect. Audiobooks made from public domain bestsellers (1913–22) are significantly more available than those made from copyrighted bestsellers (1923–32). In addition, the experimental evidence suggests that professionally made recordings of public domain and copyrighted books are of similar quality. Finally, while a low quality recording seems to lower a listener’s valuation of the underlying work, the data do not suggest any correlation between that valuation and the legal status of the underlying 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.

  • Putting the Dynamic Past to Everyday Use in the Fiction of Southern Women Writers* Constante González Groba University of Santiago De Compostela, Spain
    Putting the Dynamic Past to Everyday Use in the Fiction of Southern Women Writers* Constante González Groba University of Santiago de Compostela, Spain Abstract From its beginnings American literature has displayed an ambivalent coexistence of the idealistic impulse to eradicate the past and a conservative reverence for it as a sacred guide for the present and the future. Southern writers have traditionally stood out for their love-hate relationship with their region’s past. This essay traces some of the ambivalences with respect to the past in southern women writers. Both Ellen Glasgow and Bobbie Ann Mason, from different periods and backgrounds, initially made their break with the past and tradition central to their identity as writers. Glasgow came to reject modern values later in her career, whereas Mason has recently become much tamer in her rejection of the past and has come to cherish the family tradition as a source of personal renewal and as a guide for the present. Other contemporary southern women writers, like Lee Smith or Alice Walker, also see the past not as an altar on which to expiate the guilt of their region’s history but as something directly related to them and as a useful source of renewal for their present lives and those of their characters. Keywords American South; southern fiction; southern women writers; Ellen Glasgow; Bobbie Ann Mason; Lee Smith From its very beginnings, American literature has carried within it an ambivalent coexistence of the idealistic impulse to eradicate the past and the conservative practice of revering it as a repository and guide for the present and the future.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Colby Quarterly by an authorized editor of Digital Commons @ Colby. Goodman: Competing Visions of Freud in the Memoirs of Ellen Glasgow and Ed Competing Visions of Freud in the Memoirs of Ellen Glasgow and Edith Wharton by SUSAN GOODMAN LLEN GLASGOW (1873-1941) admired Freud and claimed that E although she was never a disciple and disliked the "current patter of Freudian theorY,"l she was "among the first, in the South, to perceive the invigorating effect of this fresh approach to experience" (269). As a self­ styled "priestess of the Life of Reason,"2 Edith Wharton (1862-1937) was less open-minded. Writing to Bernard Berenson in 1922 about a mutual friend, she begged him to ask his wife "not to befuddle her with Freudian­ ism & all its jargon. She'd take to it like a duck to-sewerage." Wharton advised that "what she wants is to develop the conscious, & not grub after the sub-conscious. She wants to be taught first to see, to attend, to reflect."3 Since it undermined the idea of free will, Freud's theory of the un­ conscious was particularly distasteful to Wharton.
