Résumé

In "Lifted Masks: Stories, " Susan Glaspell weaves together a collection of poignant narratives that probe the complexities of human emotions and societal conventions in early 20th-century America. Employing a modernist literary style characterized by its psychological depth and vivid imagery, Glaspell captures the nuances of her characters' inner lives, often challenging traditional gender roles and exploring themes of identity, repression, and aspiration.
The stories collectively create a tapestry that reflects the struggles of women during a time of significant social upheaval, revealing the masks they wear to navigate their realities. Susan Glaspell, a pioneer of feminist literature and a leading figure of the Chicago Renaissance, drew inspiration from her own experiences as a woman in a male-dominated society. Her background as a playwright and co-founder of the Provincetown Players profoundly influenced her narrative approach, blending sharp dialogue with rich character development.
This distinct voice elucidates the challenges of her era, making her work resonant and relevant in discussions of women's rights and social justice. "Lifted Masks" is an essential read for those interested in early feminist literature and the intricate dynamics of societal roles. Glaspell's insightful storytelling and innovative technique leave a lasting impact, inviting readers to reflect on their own masks and the societal expectations they confront. In this enriched edition, we have carefully created added value for your reading experience: - A comprehensive Introduction outlines these selected works' unifying features, themes, or stylistic evolutions. - A Historical Context section situates the works in their broader era-social currents, cultural trends, and key events that underpin their creation. - A concise Synopsis (Selection) offers an accessible overview of the included texts, helping readers navigate plotlines and main ideas without revealing critical twists. - A unified Analysis examines recurring motifs and stylistic hallmarks across the collection, tying the stories together while spotlighting the different work's strengths. - Reflection questions inspire deeper contemplation of the author's overarching message, inviting readers to draw connections among different texts and relate them to modern contexts. - Lastly, our hand-picked Memorable Quotes distill pivotal lines and turning points, serving as touchstones for the collection's central themes.
