Falling Through Space: The Journals of Ellen Gilchrist
No full textBy Ellen Gilchrist University Press of Mississippi (Paperback, $18.00, ISBN: 1578062918, 11/2000) Ellen Gilchrist has amassed a nationwide following, and her readers eagerly anticipate each new short story collection and novel. The sassy and moving commentaries she recorded for National Public Radio were a large part of the original kindling for this intense interest. In Falling Through Space the spark that first attracted this audience flashes again in fifty-eight short essays drawn from those enormously successful broadcasts. To update and continue the dialogue she has always maintained with her fans, Gilchrist has added fifteen new essays. Originally published in 1987 by Little, Brown and Company, Falling Through Space provides a funny and intimate diary of a writer\u27s self-discovery. Author of more than a dozen books and winner of the National Book Award, Gilchrist is a beloved and distinctive southern voice whose life and memories are every bit as entertaining as the wild and poignant short stories for which she is famous. The short essays that anchor this book vividly explore the Mississippi plantation life of her childhood; the books, teachers, and artists who influenced her development; and her thoughts about writing and life in general. Coupled with forty-two pictures from Gilchrist\u27s youth and adulthood, these slices of life create a running autobiography. In new essays, originally published in such magazines as Vogue, Outside, New Woman, and the Washington Post Sunday Magazine, Gilchrist reveals her origins, influences, and the way she works when she writes. Required reading for any fan, this book is Ellen Gilchrist at her funniest and best. For her readers it confirms her spontaneity and her talent for finding life at its zaniest and brightest. Ellen Gilchrist is the author of several collections of short stories and novellas including The Cabal and Other Stories, Flights of Angels, The Age of Miracles, The Courts of Love, In the Land of Dreamy Dreams, Victory Over Japan (winner of the National Book Award), Drunk With Love, and I Cannot Get You Close Enough. She has also written several novels, including The Anna Papers, Net of Jewels, Starcarbon, and Sarah Conley. Her 1994 novel, Anabasis: A Journey to the Interior, was published by University Press of Mississippi. She lives in Fayetteville, Arkansas, and Ocean Springs, Mississippi.https://egrove.olemiss.edu/mwp_books/1109/thumbnail.jp
The fiction of Ellen Gilchrist : an intertextual reading with works by Ernest Hemingway, Katherine Anne Porter, William Faulkner, and Kate Chopin
Get PDFThis dissertation is the first extended analysis of the fiction of contemporary Southern writer Ellen Gilchrist, author of five volumes of short fiction, three novels, two collections of poetry, and a book of journal entries. Following a chapter which provides a summary of the critical reception to Gilchrist\u27s work and an introduction to the organic story cycle made up of her entire canon, the approach to Gilchrist\u27s fiction is intertextual; her stories and novels are examined next to works by Ernest Hemingway, Katherine Anne Porter, William Faulkner, and Kate Chopin. In the traditions of Hemingway and Porter, Gilchrist has created a composite personality for her extended story cycle, the manifestations of which can be found throughout her collections of short fiction-In the Land of Dreamy Dreams (1981), Victory Over Japan (1984), Drunk with Love (1986), Light Can Be Both Wave and Particle (1989), I Cannot Get You Close Enough (1990)—and in her third novel, Net of Jewels (1992). In the tradition of Faulkner, who developed a character type from its manifestation as Quentin Compson to its manifestation as Gavin Stevens, Gilchrist\u27s composite personality develops significantly when it is manifested as the heroines of her other two novels: The Annunciation (1983) and The Anna Papers (1988). The Annunciation, furthermore, provides Faulkner\u27s Caddy Compson a voice and transforms her into a more positive figure named Amanda McCamey. The Anna Papers picks up where Chopin leaves Edna Pontellier, allowing no ambiguity about the triumph of the suicide of Gilchrist\u27s Anna Hand. The final chapter then argues that Gilchrist\u27s works since The Anna Papers are less often engaged in dialogues with works by her precursors; rather, they speak back to her own earlier works, revising the vision of the potential of her prototype to rise above her oppression. An intertextual reading of Gilchrist\u27s work reveals the traditions out of which this contemporary writer is emerging and illuminates her own contributions to the American literary traditions of the short story. Southern literature, and women\u27s literature. Within her canon, Gilchrist engages in various dialogues with these literary traditions as they are represented by these four writers. As she has developed her craft, Gilchrist has transformed the American patriarchal short story tradition, as it is epitomized in Hemingway\u27s books, and the Southern patriarchal literary tradition, as it is epitomized in Faulkner\u27s. Developing her craft within these traditions, Gilchrist joins other women writers—Katherine Anne Porter and Kate Chopin—who have also subverted the patriarchy. However, she also transforms these women\u27s techniques, characters, and themes, at times allowing for more positive development of the characters, reflecting a lessening of female oppression in the more recent South, while at other times revealing the continuing, if not increasing, oppression of women in a patriarchal society

Richardson, Barbauld, and the construction of an early modern fan club
No full textMPhilMuch has been written about the life and long works of the eighteenth century epistolary novelist, Samuel Richardson, but the prospect of his position as the first celebrity novelist – responsible for courting his own fame as well as initiating his own fan club – has largely been ignored. The body of manuscripts housed at the National Art Library in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London provides the modern scholar with evidence of the skeletal beginnings of an early fan club. This thesis aims to show how these manuscripts were turned into a saleable commodity by the publisher and entrepreneur Richard Phillips, while under the guiding hand of another, slightly later, literary celebrity, Anna Laetitia Barbauld. In order to restore Richardson’s reputation amongst a new nineteenth century audience, Barbauld was required to construct her own idea of him as an eighteenth century celebrity author, and in doing so the insecurities of a self-professed, apparently diffident man, are revealed. Barbauld’s capacious, but heavily edited selection of letters is analyzed in this thesis, providing ample evidence that Richardson’s correspondents were more than just eager letter writers. By using Barbauld’s biography of Richardson this thesis aims to show how she manipulates the genre of life writing in her construction of him.
This thesis offers an alternative reading of how the Richardson manuscripts are viewed, redefining them as not simply a collection of letters, but as a collective entity, deliberately selected and archived as evidence of an early modern fan club, and its celebrity managing director
