Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This collection, which features an introduction and thirteen critical essays, is the first volume to focus on Scott's work rather than her intriguing yet troubled life and initiates a long-needed examination of Scott's innovations in fiction, memoir, and other genres. The various essays take diverse critical approaches to Scott's canon, including her best-known works - Escapade and The Wave - and explore her views on topics such as women, politics, religion, art and the South."--BOOK JACKET.
Download or read book Escapade written by Evelyn Scott and published by . This book was released on 1923 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1913, at the age of nineteen, Elsie Dunn - later to be known as Evelyn Scott - turned her back on the genteel Southern world she was born into and ran off to Brazil with a married Tulane University dean more than twice her age. Living in tropical exile under assumed names, the couple produced a son and endured a grueling series of hardships and failures that would provide Evelyn Scott with the raw material for a singular work of fictionalized autobiography. That work, published in 1923 amid expressions of mingled outrage and admiration from the critical establishment, was Escapade.
Book Synopsis Background in Tennessee by : Evelyn Scott
Download or read book Background in Tennessee written by Evelyn Scott and published by Univ. of Tennessee Press. This book was released on 2021-07-30 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born Elsie Dunn in 1893 Clarksville, Tennessee, Evelyn Scott lived a tumultuous life that took her to New York, Brazil, western Europe, and the Caribbean. She published twelve novels during her lifetime and was a notable literary figure in the 1920s and 1930s. Published in 1937 alongside her penultimate novel, Background in Tennessee is an autobiographical work devoted to Scott’s Tennessee birthplace, her family’s history, and her broad view of Southern history. Her wide-ranging exploration of the south interweaves Scott’s personal history with discussions of colonial settlement of the region, local leadership of Clarksville and the larger Nashville area, and race relations. In this new edition, Bill Hardwig provides an analytical introduction that guides the reader through Scott’s intricate and winding exploration of early twentieth-century Tennessee and her own past. He notes at once Scott’s ambivalence toward her native South and yet the nostalgia with which she recounts personal memories. Complicated yet critical to a full understanding of Evelyn Scott and her literary legacy, this edition of Background in Tennessee makes available an important voice in Tennessee’s literary history for a new generation.

Book excerpt: 'Searing and generous ... a blazing beacon' - Donal Ryan 'Every man and woman should read this' - Sabina Higgins 'Written with honesty, power and insight' - Róisín Ingle 'Immensely valuable ... raw and vulnerable' - Irish Times 'A sobering ... timely call to arms' - Irish Independent How does a young woman find herself involved in prostitution in Ireland? In an era that asks us to take a 'sex-positive' view of it, how does this translate in reality? And why aren't we talking about it more? Any Girl is one woman's first-hand account of Ireland's sex trade. An experience of sexual exploitation as a teenager carved a direct path for Mia into the world of prostitution, a hidden part of her life during her college years in Dublin. There, in a system of casual entitlement, she met with abuse, violence and degradation, finally leaving it behind at age 24. Over a decade on, now a psychotherapist specialising in sexual trauma, Mia shares her remarkable story with passion and a determination to challenge dominant perceptions of prostitution today. Any Girl amounts to a radical act of truthtelling that shines with courage and hope. 'A powerful and important book' - Ivana Bacik, T.D. 'Will open your eyes and your heart to a hidden world that most choose to ignore' Jarlath Regan

Book Synopsis The Collected Poems of Evelyn Scott by : Evelyn Scott
Download or read book The Collected Poems of Evelyn Scott written by Evelyn Scott and published by National Poetry Foundation. This book was released on 2005 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. The Collected Poems of Evelyn Scott continues an ongoing National Poetry Foundation project to bring into print the work of poets who in their judgment deserve critical reconsideration. Born in 1893 and beginning her writing career in the late 1910s, Evelyn Scott belonged to a generation that radically and permanently transformed the role of women poets within American culture. This volume reprints, for the first time since their original publication, two books of poetry that Scott published in her lifetime, Precipitations (1920) and The Winter Alone (1930), as well as The Gravestones Wept, a collection of poetry that Scott wrote in the 1930s and 1940s. These previously unpublished poems reveal Scott's work to have ripened into a new lucidity and authority. Reviving traditional poetic forms to new purpose, she addressed the traumas of modernity with a sometimes startling prescience. Includes biographical introduction by Caroline Maun and preface by Burton Hatlen.

Book Synopsis Righteous Discontent by : Evelyn Brooks Higginbotham
Download or read book Righteous Discontent written by Evelyn Brooks Higginbotham and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1994-03-15 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What Du Bois noted has gone largely unstudied until now. In this book, Evelyn Brooks Higginbotham gives us our first full account of the crucial role of black women in making the church a powerful institution for social and political change in the black community. Between 1880 and 1920, the black church served as the most effective vehicle by which men and women alike, pushed down by racism and poverty, regrouped and rallied against emotional and physical defeat. Focusing on the National Baptist Convention, the largest religious movement among black Americans, Higginbotham shows us how women were largely responsible for making the church a force for self-help in the black community. In her account, we see how the efforts of women enabled the church to build schools, provide food and clothing to the poor, and offer a host of social welfare services. And we observe the challenges of black women to patriarchal theology. Class, race, and gender dynamics continually interact in Higginbotham’s nuanced history. She depicts the cooperation, tension, and negotiation that characterized the relationship between men and women church leaders as well as the interaction of southern black and northern white women’s groups. Higginbotham’s history is at once tough-minded and engaging. It portrays the lives of individuals within this movement as lucidly as it delineates feminist thinking and racial politics. She addresses the role of black Baptist women in contesting racism and sexism through a “politics of respectability” and in demanding civil rights, voting rights, equal employment, and educational opportunities. Righteous Discontent finally assigns women their rightful place in the story of political and social activism in the black church. It is central to an understanding of African American social and cultural life and a critical chapter in the history of religion in America.

PLAY Mal Ericson, drummer for the world-famous rock band Stage Dive, needs to clean up his image fast. Having a good girl on his arm should do the job fine, but he didn’t count on finding the right girl.
