FILMED FROM BEST AVAILABLECOPY You Still Have a Long Way to Go, Baby: Neglected Women Writers N. E. DuNN Assistant Professor of English University of Maryland College Park IN THEIR EFFORTS TO SECURE SOCIAL JUSTICE for themselves, 'women have become one of several minority groups in Amer- ican society who have introduced programs of academic studies centered upon their problems and designed to stimulate amelior- ative thought and action. Educators have both a particular respon- sibility and a particular opportunity to help change the attitudes Which have motivated discriminatory practices, since itis their professional obligation to design learning experiences which both provide information for their students and help to develop their powers of thought. Furthermore, courses in women's studies are likely to enjoy a responsive reception among members of the "now" generation, with their noteworthy commitments to social action and the social ideal. And certainly, as tomorrow's body so- cial, they stand to benefit from such courses. The purpose here is to offer suggestions toward a specific course which might achieve some of the general objectives of programs in women's studies: a course centered upon significant women novelists in twentieth century American literature, In its broadest design, this subject could be offered as a semester's work on the college or junior college-level; with a more restricted scope, it should be adaptable to the high school mini-course. Course Emphasis Literature courses related to women's studies have tended, so far, to focus on the image of woman and her role in society as re- vealed or treated in the book itself. Although this will inevitably be- come a part of the subject for discussion in the course outlined here, it is subordinate to the major intent, which is to emphasize the sub- stantial achievements of the real women who wrote the books rather than the portrayal of the fictional ones within the books. A novelist like Edith Wharton or Ellen Glasgow should, of course, be studied because she is a good liuthor, not because she is a woman, just as Faulkner andHemingway are studied for their contribu- tions to American literature rather than because of their sex. To date, however, such has rarely been the case. Recently, for example, a manuscript concerning a twentieth 2 Neglected Women Writers century woman novelist, a Pulitzer Prize winner, was rejected for publication on the basis that the author was not related to other women authors of her period. It is unlikely that a study of lem- ingway would have been rejected because it (lid not relate Min to the other male writers of his period.Discrimination against women writers if further evident in the fact that they are frequently under - representedin the anthologies designed for the study of American literature, One new anthology (1970-71) edited by a reputable shcolar includes, inthe volume covering the liter- , aturefrom the turn of the century to the present, thirty-one fiction writers, of whom nine are women, and thirty-six poets, of whom five are women. Given a population in which women outnumber men and a time period during which coeducation has become gen- eral, it seems debatable that only about twenty per cent of the significant creative writing has been done by women. Again, in an anthology of "new American, poetry," published thisyear, of the nineteen poets represented, three are women surely another un- realistic representation of the proportion of significant contempor- ary poetry being produced by women, 011 the academic scene, the same discrimination is evident when an entire course can be de- voted to the study of a single male novelist such asJohnBarth whereas no course is devoted .to the study of any woman of the first stature, much less one comparable only to Barth. Genre Vs. Writer The point at issue, of course, is to stimulate recognition of the fact that a number of individual women have made significant and individual contribution to American letters. A literature course de- signed with this motive in mind and intended for a semester's work on the college level could easily and rather obviously deal with the works of women who have succeeded ill any of the literary forms: short story writers like Eudora Welty and Flannery O'Connor, poets like Marianne Moore and Sylvia Platil, dramatists like LillianI iellman, or novelists like Willa Gather, Edith Whar- ton, itnd Katherine Anne Porter. Where greater limitation of scope is ill order, however, concentration on the novel would afford an opportunity to study the type of belles-lettres in which women have made, perhaps, their most noteworthy performance, as well as draw upon the appeal and .interest intrinsic in the novel as an art form. Another obvious means of adapting the objectives of these proposals to a restricted time-limitation like that of the mini- course is to concentrate on one author. Of the possibilities available, the remainder of this discussion will be devoted to a consideration of all approach to the study of the novels of Ellen Glasgow. This choice 5 motivated by several purposes, 3 Maryland English Journal A study of Ellen Glasgow's fiction might help to effect for the author hersplf sonic of the justice which thecourse is designed to reveal the need for. Although the lady from Richmond enjoyed widespread popularity and received substantial critical acclaimin the course of her career, she has always been generallyisinter- preted and is now largely neglected. Althoughsome women au- thors of her generation, like 1Vharton and Gather, have beenre- cognized and frequently anthologized, onlyone widely used an- thology of American literaturenow included any of her work, a single short story. Furthermore, like other goodwomen writers who have been neglected, even when she is studied, sheis viewed not so much as an individual writer as she isa genre writer in her case, as a regionalist or local-color writer, to be grouped with others who have depicted modes of life in particularregions of the country, as Sarah Orne Jewett did for New England lifeor Kate Chopin did for life in old New Orleans. But Ellen Glasgow is more than a "regionalist" and she is more than a "Southern writer," as the labels frequently go. Her work invokes greater merit and should receive indivi- dual attention, as careful analysis of at least themost significant of Miss Glasgow's twenty novels will reveal.

  • 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.
