Where the olive is carefully cultivated, as in Languedoc and Provence, it is planted in rows at regular intervals, the distance between the trees varying in different olivettes, according to the variety grown.
Cultivation of the olive is is a key characteristic of Mediterranean mixed farming, and played a large part in the economic development of ancient Greece because of the suitability of olive oil as an export crop.

 DVD Verdict Review - Now, Voyager
When Warner Brothers bought the film rights to the book, Prouty, who was also the author of the well-known "Stella Dallas," wrote a lengthy letter to her literary agent setting out her ideas for mounting the production.
She felt strongly that one way to effectively dramatize the flashbacks in the story would be to do them as short silent segments woven into the main sound narrative.
Her letter made its way to producer Hal Wallis at Warners, but Prouty's ideas were not taken up by the studio.

That gave her another plot, about which she wrote to her mentor and patron Olive Higgins Prouty, author of the novel Stella Dallas, which had inspired a lucrative, long-running radio soap opera.

Sylvia and Esther were both poets who were noted for winning prizes and scholarships; although the college which Esther attends is not stated explicitly in The Bell Jar, it is a prestigious women's college that could easily be Sylvia Plath's alma mater, Smith College.

Replicating the events of the first chapters of The Bell Jar, Sylvia Plath won an internship at Mademoiselle.
