	Susan Glaspell: A Critical Biography, by Barbara Ozieblo. Introduction. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		But Glaspell is the author of more than one play: she wrote five short plays and five full-length dramas and cowrote two short plays with her husband and one full-length piece with her lover, Norman Matson.
		Susan Glaspell was largely responsible for introducing the American theater to British audiences: The Verge was performed by Edith Craig's Pioneer Players at the Regent Theatre, starring Sybil Thorndike as Claire.
		Although Glaspell insisted that her life and achievements were uninteresting compared with those of her husband, I have taken the liberty of representing her as the primary and sustaining member of their partnership.

	Being Faithful to Fidelity: A Review of Susal Glaspell's Novel
		With the great success of Susan Glaspell's short story "A Jury of Her Peers" and the dramatic version, "Trifles," it would be logical to expect that an examination of her other works would follow.
		For as with "Trifles," Glaspell's materials are the common and apparently simple in Fidelity, and she uses the generic language of the trivial and banal.
		Glaspell's plot may initially be seen as banal, remote, and outdated by the modern reader, one to be relegated to the world of melodrama.

	About Susan Glaspell
		To most readers, Susan Glaspell (1876-1948) is still known primarily as the author of Trifles, the frequently anthologized, classic feminist play about two women’s secret discovery of a wife’s murder of her husband, or the short-story “A Jury of Her Peers,” a re-writing of that piece.
		Susan Glaspell had never liked to feel controlled or delimited; born in Davenport, Iowa, in 1876, she rebelled against society’s expectations and, rather than passively wait for a husband to appear, went to Drake University in Des Moines, graduating in June of 1899, and then worked as a reporter for the Des Moines Daily News.
		The scandal and gossip provoked by his second divorce was the impulse that Glaspell and Cook needed to move East; they settled in Greenwich Village where the "rents were cheap," and where they found other freethinking liberals and radicals in both politics and art: the ideal breeding-ground for their experiments in theatre.
