The Classic Collection of Susan Glaspell. Plays, Novels and Stories. Illustrated: Trifles, The Outside, The Verge, Inheritors and others
This richly illustrated volume brings together the most important and enduring works of Susan Glaspell, a trailblazing American playwright, novelist, and short story writer. A founding figure in modern American drama and a Pulitzer Prize winner, Glaspell explored themes of gender, justice, individuality, and social change with remarkable insight and innovation. The collection features her groundbreaking play Trifles, a subtle but powerful feminist commentary that remains a cornerstone of American theater. Also included are The Outside, The Verge, and Inheritors—each challenging conventional roles and illuminating the struggles of women and visionaries in early 20th-century society. In addition to her dramatic work, this edition includes selected short stories and excerpts from her novels, highlighting Glaspell’s poetic prose and her deep understanding of character and psychology. Her writing is at once lyrical and political, intimate and universal. Enhanced by illustrations that bring scenes and characters to life, this collection is both a literary treasure and a visual experience. It is essential reading for anyone interested in the roots of feminist literature, early modernist theater, or the evolution of American storytelling. Contents: Plays • Trifles • The Outside • The Verge • Suppressed Desires • Inheritors • Close the Book • Woman's Honor • Tickless Time Novels • The Glory of the Conquered • The Visioning • Fidelity Short story collections • Lifted Masks
