"What a valuable pleasure it is to read this collection.... Regarding Ellen Glasgow will not only add to our scholarly understanding of Glasgow, but will also invite a new generation of readers to discover the work of this major novelist."—R. H. W. Dillard, Hollins University

Ellen Glasgow's fictional chronicle of Virginia life between 1860 and 1940 continues to attract academic and general readers alike. Glasgow, woman and author, has proved-and continues to prove-remarkably durable. The eclecticism of the volume's fourteen essays and seven oral-history interviews reflects the broad scope of Glasgow's appeal. They also reveal the spirit with which, by personal as well as artistic example, Glasgow herself resisted the strictures of parochialism and conformity.
