	Ellen Glasgow Criticism
		Glasgow's renown is primarily as a novelist, but her twelve short stories also reveal her acuity as an observer of manners who masterfully represents the complexities of the human struggle through her female characters.
		Glasgow's autobiography suggests that she faced many of the same dilemmas as those of her fictional female characters: whether or not to marry, whether or not to abandon a career for marriage, whether or not to maintain independence.
		Glasgow's first published work was a short story written when she was twenty-two years old, "A Woman of Tomorrow." The theme of a woman's conflict between marriage and a career was to figure prominently in all her fiction.

	Ellen Glasgow Biography / Biography of Ellen Glasgow Biography Biography
		Ellen Glasgow was born on April 22, 1873, in Richmond, Va. Her father was a Scotch-Irish Presbyterian who "never committed a pleasure." His wife was a woman of "laughing spirit" whom he neither understood nor appreciated.
		Ellen's childhood was marred by her parents' misalliance (a subject her fiction frequently reflected), but her youth was secure and privileged, and she acquired a good education under private tutors.
		Glasgow's next books may reflect that loss, but by 1909, when The Romance of a Plain Man appeared, she was clearly in control of her art.

		Ellen Anderson Gholson Glasgow, born in Richmond, Va., on 22 April 1873, published her first novel, The Descendant, in 1897, when she was 24 years old.
		Glasgow's strong intellect led her to a conscious channeling of her creative energies toward the making of a substantial body of fiction.
		The framework of these works was to be, as she stated in 1898, at age 25, "a series of sketches dealing with life in Virginia." As she matured artistically, this early half-formed intention realized it self in a series of novels that constitutes a social history of her native Virginia.

		Virginia (1913) is a novel by Ellen Glasgow about a wife and mother who in vain seeks happiness by serving her family.
		Also, as its heroine, though virtuous and god-fearing, is denied the happiness she is craving, its plot did not live up to readers' expectations as far as poetic justice is concerned and was bound to upset some of them.
		Today, Virginia is seen by many as an outstanding achievement in Glasgow's career exactly because the author defied literary convention by questioning the foundations of American society around the turn of the last century, be it capitalism, religion or racism.

		As a young woman Ellen Glasgow refused to attend church with her father, an act of intellectual rebellion.
		Yet Glasgow did not at first make women’s roles her major theme, and she was slow to place heroines rather than heroes at the centers of the stories.
		Virginia Pendleton, based on Glasgow’s mother, is an old-fashioned southern lady raised on “the simple theory that the less a girl knew about life, the better prepared she would be to contend with it.” The author was capable of irony about such figures, sustained by illusion, at times controlling through weakness.

	Glasgow, Ellen Anderson Gholson
		Born in Richmond, Virginia, on April 22, 1873, Ellen Glasgow, daughter of a wealthy and socially prominent family with Old Virginia roots on her mother's side, was educated mainly at home because of her delicate health.
		With a brilliant and increasingly ironic treatment, Glasgow examined the decay of Southern aristocracy and the trauma of the encroachment of modern industrial civilization in three comedies of manners--The Romantic Comedians (1926), They Stooped to Folly (1929), and The Sheltered Life (1932).
		J.R. Raper, Without Shelter: The Early Career of Ellen Glasgow (1971, reprinted 1982), and From the Sunken Garden (1980), on her later works; and Marcelle Thiebaux, Ellen Glasgow (1982), cover her life and work.

		She spent her entire life in Richmond, Va. Her radicalism was apparent in her first novel, The Descendant (1897), and was sustained through her many subsequent books, including Virginia (1913), Life and Gabriella (1916), Barren Ground (1925), The Romantic Comedians (1926), Vein of Iron (1935), and In This Our Life (1941; Pulitzer Prize).

	Representative American Story Tellers: Ellen Glasgow.
		Miss Glasgow is one of the small number of American novelists who have chosen to take a higher and finer attitude toward their work.
		Throughout all of her books, one notices a theme to which Miss Glasgow reverts again and again, with never-flagging interest, and that is the theme of unequal marriages.
		It is a peculiarly American novel, since it symbolises with a subtlety that is essentially feminine and a force that is almost virile the practical limitations of the doctrine that all men are born free and equal.
