VOYAGE IN THE DARK BY JEAN RHYS (1934)BY FRANCIS BOOTH
| ON JUNE
5, 2021 | COMMENTS
(0)
This review and analysis of _Voyage in the Dark_, a 1934 novel by Jean Rhys, is excerpted from _Girls in Bloom: Coming of Age in the Mid-20th Century Woman’s Novel _ by Francis Booth, reprinted bypermission.
Jean Rhys (1890-1979) is best known for her novel _Wide Sargasso Sea_, a take on the _JANE EYRE_ story from the point of view of the “madwoman in the attic,” Rochester’s wife, who, like Rhys, came from the Caribbean. It was finally published in book form in 1966 after years of tinkering and after a very long gap following her early novels, the first of which, _Quartet_, was published in 1928.

------------------------- MAY SINCLAIR, BRITISH NOVELIST, PHILOSOPHER, AND SUFFRAGISTBY LYNNE WEISS
| ON JUNE 3,
2021 | COMMENTS (0) May Sinclair, (born Mary Amelia St. Clair Sinclair; August 24, 1863 – November 14, 1946) was a British novelist, philosopher, poet, and suffragist who was regarded as England’s “leading woman novelist between the death of GEORGE ELIOT and the rise of VIRGINIA WOOLF,”
according to David Williams, a critic who wrote for _Punch_. She explored the inner lives of ordinary women in some twenty-three novels, while also publishing two works of philosophy, a biography of the Brontës, several collections of poetry, and dozens of shortstories.
May Sinclair is largely forgotten today. All of her works had fallen out of print when Virago Press, the noted British feminist publishing house, reissued three of her most significant novels in the early 1980s. At present, however, only _THE LIFE AND DEATH OF HARRIETT FREAN _ (1922)_,_ which many regard as her masterpiece, is in print.

| ON MAY
31, 2021 | COMMENTS(0)
Maureen Daly (1921 – 2006) was an Irish-Born American author and journalist, best known for the novel _Seventeenth Summer_ (1942). Though twenty-one at the time of its publication, she wrote it while in her teens. Originally intended it for adult readers, it drew an enthusiastic audience of teens, and as such, is considered one of the early entries into the genre of Young Adult fiction. This appreciation of _Seventeenth Summer_ is excerpted from _Girls in Bloom: Coming of Age in the Mid-20th Century Woman’s Novel _ by Francis Booth, reprinted by permission. The rise of the teenager in the 1940s was accompanied by the rise of the teenage novel: novels written for and about – and even by – teenage girls. The 1940s and 50s saw several series of books by female authors about girls in their “seventeenth summer,” intended to be read by girls of around that age or younger; the exact demographic for the _Sub-Deb_ columns in teen magazines and BETTY CORNELL’S ADVICECOLUMNS .

------------------------- THE POETRY OF LOSS: AN ANALYSIS OF “ONE ART” BY ELIZABETH BISHOPBY JESS MENDES
| ON MAY 28,
2021 | COMMENTS (0) Elizabeth Bishop’s VILLANELLE “One Art” was one of the first poems I read and analyzed at a college level. It’s also one of my favorites. Here is an analysis of “One Art” that can be interpreted from the perspective of wherever the reader is in theirown life.
We’ve all, in our unique ways, experienced loss. Countless poems attempt to capture the nature of loss. Elizabeth Bishop was a detail-oriented writer, and the particularity of “One Art” makes the experience of reading it all the more sensitive and meaningful. It’s truly a one-of-a-kind poem. “One Art” intimately captures the feeling of loss for the reader. Although the poem is mostly autobiographical, it simultaneously acts as a mirror, forcing the reader to reflect on their own losses. This is perhaps why “One Art” is so valuable and memorable. Its relatability makes it difficult to forget. Read More→ ------------------------- 5 ROMANTIC FANFICTION TROPES WE CAN THANK JANE AUSTEN FORBY SAVANNAH CORDOVA
| ON
MAY 25, 2021 |
COMMENTS (0)
Not many authors are favored by serious literary scholars and casual readers alike, but Jane Austen is one of the chosen few. Writers continue to be inspired as well, as evidenced by the romantic fanfiction tropes we’ll explore here. Many have pondered what makes Austen’s oeuvre so beloved by so many; personally, I think a huge part of her enduring relevance is that she popularized a number of classic tropes that we still see and love today, in everything from the erotic novellas of ANAÏS NIN to everyone’s favorite rom-coms like _Clueless_. You’ll also spot Austen in the more obscure corners of the internet, particularly in fandom. Both Austen titles and fanfiction are known for their romantic plots and protagonists who are set on finding true love — or just as often, those who have it thrust upon them unexpectedly. There’s even an established crossover of the two, with “Jane Austen Fan Fiction” (known to fans as JAFF) growing in popularity with the dawn of the Wattpad era.

| ON MAY 25,
2021 | COMMENTS (0)WILMA RUDOLPH
(1940 – 1994) was a groundbreaking American Olympic champion in the field of running. As the most visible and famed Black female athlete of time, she inspired generations who came after her. Running was her passion, and she became an icon in the civil rights and women’s rights movements as well. Books about Wilma Rudolph continue to tell her story, most aimed at younger readers who draw inspiration from her remarkable life. Here, we’ll take a look at some of them, starting with her own 1977 autobiography, _Wilma. _ In this slim but action-packed volume she told the story of how she, a Black woman athlete facing many obstacles, won both in life and in the toughest sports competitions in the world. She has the distinction of being the first American ever to take home three gold medals from a single Olympics. Read More→ -------------------------Previous Pages
