- W1965804958 abstract "sex, with a male compatriot, or with European scribes. It is not an effort to appraise the observations, emotions, and dramatic power of a Katherine Mayo or a Gertrude Williams in the light of Indian portraiture by an E. M. Forster. Nor is it an analysis of imagery, stylistic devices, or vocabularies. Tones and rhythms in language, as in music, are not minimized, for a Poe will live on as a composer of verbal sounds as long as notes have an appeal. There will always be the individual to be studied intimately for the particular trend of his mind and his talent for graphic presentation. There will always be the pure singer chanting he cares not what. Hopelessly pretentious as it may seem, this is an experiment in the evaluation of the writing by American women as a whole-as a pattern of modern mentality, interests, and force. The greatest writers of the past have been venerated as thinkers and seers. Especially is the great poet praised for his ability to pierce veils which lesser mortals fail to penetrate. Therefore, it is the inspiration and theme of which words are the medium of expression, rather than the forms which the words assume, which will be treated here. In short, it is the American woman as a thinker revealing herself on the printed page whom we shall try to examine. If she is to achieve prime and lasting distinction in Letters, she must be more than a song bird, lovely as some of those creatures may be; more than a gossip relating lively tales, absorbing as such can be; more than a collector of data and a compiler of thoughts others have had. The colleges of the United States are crowded with aspiring youth and extension classes are filled with ambitious adults who hope to do great things with their pens. But when they have learned all the technique of organization, unity, harmony, and charm of phraseology, there will remain one essential of power that can hardly be taught-something to say. A rare Poe playing with tone can get away with nonsense. Nature with her foaming seas, her nuances of forms and colors, her effects on the human spirit will always find response in the heart of man-and woman. But the heights of literature range into realms where human beings act no less than feel and the depths of thought plunge down into the ways of mankind and into processes of life and forms of group" @default.
