| Zusammenfassung: | "The modern romance novel is elevated to a subject of serious study in this addictively readable biography of pioneering celebrity author Elinor Glyn. Society darling Elinor Glyn shocked her English peers with the 1907 publication of Three Weeks, an intensely erotic novel that launched her to international fame and infamy. Historian Hilary A. Hallett traces Glyn's meteoric rise for the first time, beginning where most romance novels end: with her marriage into the English gentry class in 1892. When her husband, Clayton, gambled their fortune away, Glyn boldly became the first commercially successful writer to challenge the sexually straightjacketed literary code. As she churned out novels, she consorted with world leaders from St. Petersburg to Paris to Cairo before movie producers lured her to California in 1920. There, Glyn crafted the romantic aesthetic of Hollywood's golden Silent Age, coining the term "It"--a quality of magnetism she projected onto actresses like Clara Bow. Weaving deep archival research, Hallett presents Glyn as an icon of sexual and professional independence who would encourage new generations to chase their own desires wherever they led"-- |
