A Private Madness by The Kent State University Press

A reintroduction to the fascinating story and unique poetic vision of Elinor WylieElinor Wylie's body of work—four novels and four volumes of poetry produced between 1921 and 1928—has often been overshadowed by her controversial personal life. In A Private Madness Evelyn Hively explores the points at which her life and her art intersect and demonstrates how Wylie "used language and literary form to transform the chaos of her experiences." This purpose was successfully met, as A Private Madness presents Wylie and her work within the culture of the twenties.
Evelyn Hively has been professor of English, director of American Studies, academic dean, and vice president of the American Association of State Colleges and Universities. She is the author of Sacred Fire, a study of Willa Cather's novels.
