Glasgow, Ellen (Anderson Gholson)
- Glasgow, Ellen (Anderson Gholson)
-
died Nov. 21, 1945, Richmond
U.S. novelist.
She was irregularly schooled and lived the life of a Southern belle. With
Virginia (1913), she completed a five-novel series (begun 1900) depicting the state's social history. She was past age 50 when she gained critical notice for
Barren Ground (1925).
The Sheltered Life (1932) is part of a trilogy of ironic novels of manners. Her realistic depiction of Virginia life helped direct Southern literature away from sentimentality and nostalgia.
