“In Search of Truth, Not Sensation” examines the critical reception both Ellen Glasgow and Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings encountered and explores how they each dealt with critical reception, namely being classified as regional writers or writers of juvenilia. This chapter focuses on their discussions with one another and about one another’s works to defend and define “regionalism” to literary critics and book reviewers.

“The Sheltered Life” looks at Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings and Ellen Glasgow’s attempts to sustain romantic attachments while maintaining their success as writers. Rawlings spent much of her time in Richmond interrogating friends and relations about Glasgow’s romantic relationships, especially her confirmed engagement to Henry Anderson. Rawlings herself was married to Norton Baskin after her initial marriage to Charles Rawlings fell apart over their volatile tempers and professional jealousies. Glasgow never married and found it difficult to sustain her romantic affairs for any length of time. Both women prioritized their professional lives as writers over romantic attachments and were regularly frustrated by their partners’ inability to understand their lives as writers.

"The Sheltered Life, " writes Carol S. Manning in her Afterword to this new paperback edition, is "a jewel of American literature and deserves recognition as a masterpiece of the Southern Renaissance." It is a remarkably unsentimental look at the old South, a society that blindly holds to past values enforced by a strict code of conduct, being overtaken by the new age of industrialization. We see in the families of the Archibalds and the Birdsongs - especially in the character of General Archibald, the quintessential Southern gentleman, and of the celebrated beauty Mrs. Eva Birdsong - how upholding these old Southern ideals denies any opportunity for growth and fulfillment. The only hope is in the General's impetuous young granddaughter, Jenny. By the end of the novel, however, she too has learned that beauty is to be most admired and that deception is moral and civilized - that it is good to tell lies if they make others feel better. Ellen Glasgow's career-long attempt to expose the cruelty of the "cult of beauty worship" and the "philosophy of evasive idealism" that she saw as prevalent in the South's conversations, manners, customs, and literature reaches its zenith in The Sheltered Life. First published in 1932, it was hailed by Alfred Kazin as Ellen Glasgow's "most moving and penetrating novel. Like Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard, which it closely resembles in spirit, The Sheltered Life became a haunting study in social decomposition."
卡罗尔·s·曼宁(Carol S. Manning)在这本新平装本的后记中写道,“受庇护的生活”是“美国文学的瑰宝,值得被视为南方文艺复兴时期的杰作”。这是对旧南方的一种非常冷静的审视,一个由严格的行为准则强制执行的盲目坚持过去价值观的社会,正在被工业化的新时代所取代。我们从阿奇博尔德家族和伯德桑家族中看到了——尤其是从阿奇博尔德将军这个典型的南方绅士和著名的美人伊娃·伯德桑夫人身上——坚持这些古老的南方理想如何剥夺了任何成长和实现的机会。唯一的希望寄托在将军那急躁的小孙女珍妮身上。然而,在小说的结尾,她也明白了美丽是最令人钦佩的,欺骗是道德和文明的——如果能让别人感觉更好,说谎是件好事。艾伦·格拉斯哥毕生致力于揭露“对美的崇拜”和“逃避理想主义的哲学”的残酷,她认为这些在南方的谈话、礼仪、习俗和文学中普遍存在,在《被庇护的生活》中达到了顶峰。此书于1932年首次出版,被阿尔弗雷德·卡津誉为艾伦·格拉斯哥“最感人、最深刻的小说”。就像契诃夫的《樱桃园》(The Cherry Orchard)一样,《庇护生活》在精神上与《樱桃园》非常相似,它成为了对社会解体的一项令人难忘的研究。”

“A Certain Measure of Achievement” looks at the many book reviews and clippings on Ellen Glasgow’s major works collected by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings when working on her biography and compares them with similar reviews of Rawlings’s major works. This chapter considers the ways in which their responses to one another’s literature helped to further Rawlings and Glasgow’s friendship, while underscoring their shared literary values. Glasgow and Rawlings clearly saw pieces of their own experiences and worldviews in their respective works. This chapter also establishes, through criticism, the literary identities of both authors.
