Book excerpt: Elinor Wylie (September 7, 1885 – December 16, 1928) was a popular American poet and novelist of the 1920s. Miss Elinor Hoyt, commuting between Mainline Philadelphia and Washington, D.C., led an outwardly conventional social life which concealed a disastrous domestic life. She became notorious, during her lifetime, for her multiple affairs and marriages, which often made its way into her writings. She was a beautiful though glacial and formal woman—highly erotic, savoring the pursuit more than the consummation. Most women instinctively sensed that—like Byron—she was mad, bad, and dangerous to know—particularly if they had husbands at risk of succumbing. During her short span of eight years as a writer, Elinor published four volumes of poetry and four novels, all garnering praise. Many of her works offered insight into the difficulties of marriage and the impossible expectations that come with womanhood. Wylie was lauded for her passionate writing, fueled by ethereal descriptors, historical references, and feminist undertones.

Book Synopsis A Private Madness by : Evelyn Helmick Hively
Download or read book A Private Madness written by Evelyn Helmick Hively and published by Kent State University Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elinor 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. Described by contemporaries as an icon of the age, Wylie was illustrative of the tone and mores of the notorious decade in which her poems, novels, and Vanity Fair articles were written. Her friendships with such notables as Edna St. Vincent Millay, Dorothy Parker, and William Rose Benet and the events she endured - her father suffered breakdowns and a brother, a sister, and her first husband fell victim to suicide - colored her life and often mirrored the temper of the twenties. Her independence, unconventional behavior, narcissism, interest in the occult, the frantic pace of her life, and her problem with alcohol are evident in her novels and her poems. Her work embraces the escapism of the era in which

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This novel, set in the third decade of the nineteenth century, concerns an incident in the life of a poet who for twenty years fought passionately for the betterment of mankind. Now he is too liberal for the proper, prosperous England of his day and he is alienated from the society in which he had been accustomed to move. Exhausted emotionally and bruised from the shabby treatment he has received, he finds happiness for one summer in the company of Lady Clara Hunting and her two daughters, Allegra and Penserosa. Unfortunately the materialistic, cold world intervenes in the person of Mr. Hodge. After a sharp, brief clash, Mr. Hazard's summer ends--a summer of delicate and rare perfection against a background of dying hopes and lost causes. But Mr. Hazard has a memory to cherish.
