During her lifetime, playwright and novelist Susan Glaspell
(1876-1948) was regarded as highly as Eugene O'Neill and Edith
Wharton. Winner of the 1931 Pulitzer Prize for drama (for
""Alison's House""), she was cofounder of the Provincetown Players,
the little theatre that ""discovered"" O'Neill. Later, Glaspell was
instrumental in introducing American drama to English audiences
when her play ""The Verge"" was produced in London. Yet despite her
many accomplishments, Glaspell is often overlooked in the standard
histories of American theatre. Ozieblo combines an narrative of
Glaspell's life with an analysis of her creative work. Rebelling
early against the expectations imposed on women of her era,
Glaspell grappled with the conflict between Victorian mores and
feminist aspirations throughout her life. In ""Trifles"", now
recognised as a groundbreaking feminist drama, she explored the
reasons for a woman's extreme response to her husband's demanding,
authoritarian stance. Ozieblo also investigates Glaspell's
relationship with dramatist George Cram Cook, exploring the scandal
that surrounded their courtship and marriage as well as the life
they led among the bohemians of Greenwich Village.
