Wolf Tales 12 by Kate Douglas
During the past decade, the fiction and autobiography of Ellen Glasgow (1873-1945) have been undergoing major reevaluation - especially from critics engaged in issues of gender. This collection of essays, in which feminist viewpoints figure prominently, marks a significant contribution to this new dialogue on Glasgow's work. For many years, Dorothy M. Scura observes, Glasgow was regarded as a transitional figure in southern letters, a writer who published books in the time between Thomas Nelson Page and William Faulkner. She was an outsider, an anomaly, a Virginian who did not quite fit the context of the Southern Literary Renaissance. Recent feminist criticism, however, has heightened interest in Glasgow by revealing her intense concern with the role of women in society and with the values of patriarchal culture. Using a variety of critical approaches - including semiotic, intertextual, and biographical - these fifteen essays cover the full range of Glasgow's writings, from well-known novels such as Virginia, Barren Ground, and The Sheltered Life to less familiar works such as The Battle-Ground, The Wheel of Life, the verse collected in The Freeman and Other Poems, and the short stories. Of special value is the volume's inclusion of a newly discovered short story, Ideals, as well as a selection of previously unpublished letters by Glasgow to her friend and fellow writer Louise Chandler Moulton.
A lifelong Californian, Kate Douglas has been lucky enough to call writing her career for most of her adult life, but it wasn't until she discovered the world of the sexy paranormal that she really found her niche. She's having such a terrific time creating more Wolf Tales for Kensington's Aphrodisia line as the imprint's lead author that she's still waiting for someone to call and tell her it was all a big mistake. Now with her new DemonSlayers series taking off, she's definitely having the time of her life. Married for almost 40 years to her very own hero, Kate is mother to two amazing adults and Dabba to five perfect grandchildren--and two granddogs. Kate gives credit for much of her success to the fantastic cadre of generous and talented authors who have helped her over the years. She is a firm believer in the philosophy of paying it forward. Kate loves to hear from her readers. You can find her on Facebook at facebook.com/katedouglas.author or email her directly at katedouglas.com.
