Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. ""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.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.…

Opening in the years just before the First World War and laid in the Valley of Virginia, the book traces the experience of a family with four generations of strong women. Faced with a crisis when the bread-winner, a philosopher-minister, is defrocked for his unorthodox views, the women provide the vein of iron which carries the family through removal to Richmond (Queensboro in the book), through war and depression until the final return to the mountains.…
