Delphi Complete Works of Ellen Glasgow (Illustrated)

The winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1942, Ellen Glasgow published 19 novels to critical acclaim, establishing a new form of Southern fiction. Offering realistic depictions of life in her native Virginia, her narratives avoided the nostalgia, sentimentality and idealistic escapism that characterised Southern literature after Reconstruction. With an assured and increasingly ironic treatment, Glasgow's novels examined the decay of the Southern aristocracy and the trauma of the encroachment of modern industrial civilization, with compelling results. For the first time in publishing history, this eBook presents Glasgow's complete works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts, informative introductions and bonus material.
