The Vanderbilt Women

Dynasty of Wealth, Glamour and Tragedy

By: Clarice Stasz

Lucius Beebe said that "The nearest thing to a royal family that has ever appeared on the American scene was the Vanderbilts ... their vendettas, their armies of servitors, partisans and sycophants, their love affairs, scandals, and shortcomings, all were the stuff of an imperial routine." Stasz reveals new facts and insights into the fascinating lives of three generations of Vanderbilt women who dominated New York society from the middle of the eighteenth century through the twentieth. Of special interest are the discovery of unpublished letters and a pseudonymous lesbian novel that shed light on the complex character of the most currently famous Vanderbilt woman, Gloria Vanderbilt.

American Dreamers

Charmian and Jack London

By: Clarice Stasz

Jack London's stories of adventure in the frozen landscapes of the Yukon and the steamy islands of the South Seas have captured the imaginations of readers all over the world. Born into the working class, London was a major force in the lively Socialist movement of his day. In 1903 he shocked the morals of his country when he left his wife and two young daughters for a spunky spinster five years his senior. A new breed of woman, Charmian Kitteridge was notorious in the Bay area for daring to ride her horse astride and work in an office, unlike proper women of the day. As his "Mate-Woman," Charmian contributed to Jack's accomplishments -- she was his editor, transcriber, confidante, as well as the model for many of Jack's female characters. Together they overcame threats to their love that stemmed from Jack's alcoholism, infidelities, and illness. This is a compelling portrait that challenges the long"Cheld view of London as a rough, hard-drinking womanizer, and of Charmian as a passive, childish dependent. Instead, this is a love story and a fascinating portrait of a couple whose courage, passion, and vitality remain a model of love fulfilled.

Slanderley

Love and Death in Cornwall

By: Clarice Stasz

Poor Eddie Quirk! Butler at Slanderley, he observes the deLoverly family's ridiculous intrigues. Naïve Eddie is trapped in a web of ridiculous intrigue, with no help from Sloth or Mrs. Anvil. Nasty deaths drop like spiders. The haunted ancestral mansion, scheming housekeeper, skulking servants, chinless aristocrats, and a naïve bride get a delightful re-vamp in this briskly-paced, hilarious spoof on the woman in jeopardy genre. The story is told by Quirk, intent upon correcting a best-selling book about muders at the manor. Alert readers will recognize Rebecca serving as the inspiration, yet it stands alone as a twisted romp for those unfamiliar with the original.
