Présentation Escapade de Scott, Evelyn Format Broché
- Livre Littérature Générale
Résumé :
In 1913, at the age of nineteen, Elsie Dunn--later to be known as Evelyn Scott--turned her back on the genteel Southern world she was born into and ran off to Brazil with a married Tulane University dean more than twice her age. Living in tropical exile under assumed names, the couple produced a son and endured a grueling series of hardships and failures that would provide Scott with the raw material for Escapade, first published in 1923 amid expressions of mingled outrage and admiration from the critical establishment. Scott went on to write the 1929 modernist masterpiece The Wave, widely considered to be one of the greatest Civil War novels ever written.
Biographie: Evelyn Scott was born in 1893 in Clarksvile, Tennessee. Her other books include The Narrow House; Narcissus; Background in Tennessee; and The Wave. Dorothy M. Scura is Professor of English at the University of Tennessee. Her edited books include Ellen Glasgow: New Perspectives and Ellen Glasgow: The Contemporary Reviews.

Evelyn Scott was an American playwright, novelist, and poet. Scott, a modernist and experimental writer, was a significant literary figure in the 1920s and 1930s, but she eventually sank into critical oblivion. She was born in Clarksville, Tennessee and spent her early years in New Orleans, Louisiana. She later wrote about her youth in Tennessee in her autobiography, Background in Tennessee. Her first husband was Frederick Creighton Wellman. When they met, he was married and served as head of Tulane's School of Tropical Medicine. Evelyn and her husband adopted pseudonyms when they fled to Brazil in 1913. Frederick altered his name to Cyril Kay-Scott, and Evelyn accepted Scott as her surname. Scott married John Metcalfe, an English writer, in 1930. She published under both the names Ernest Souza and her birth name, Elsie Dunn....
