George Paul Collins was born on March 3, 1924 in the small town of Berlin, New Jersey. His family moved to Pleasantville and he was raised there by the bay, which he grew to love. George loved fishing and clamming his whole life. His adult life was spent in the United States Air Force until he retired in 1972 after twenty-nine and a half years. George married his high school sweetheart, Gloria Linda Lewis. The two raised six smart and charming children who now have families of their own. He had a very interesting and eventful life and, after living through the wars he participated in, he learned not to sweat the small stuff. He was buried with full military honors at Arlington National Cemetery in Washington, D.C., at the age of 70.
She also sets out how these roles served both whites and blacks; reminds the reader of Carver's personal and circumstantial reasons for not demurring; and reaffirms, in particular, his impact on individuals (prominent among whom was Southern radical Howard Kester--viz. Anthony Dunbar's Against the Grain, above). An intellectually satisfying study and no less an affecting biography.
By examining literary portraits of the woman as artist, Linda M. Lewis traces the matrilineal inheritance of four Victorian novelists and poets: George Eliot, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Geraldine Jewsbury, and Mrs. Humphry Ward. She argues that while the male Romantic artist saw himself as god and hero, the woman of genius lacked a guiding myth until Germaine de Stael and George Sand created one. The protagonists of Stael's Corinne and Sand's Consuelo combine attributes of the goddess Athena, the Virgin Mary, Virgil's Sibyl, and Dante's Beatrice. Lewis illustrates how the resulting Corinne/Consuelo effect is exhibited in scores of English artist-as-heroine narratives, particularly in the works of these four prominent writers who most consciously and elaborately allude to the French literary matriarchs." "Exploring a connection between French and English literature and providing fresh insight, Germaine de Stael, George Sand, and the Victorian Woman Artist makes a major contribution to our understanding of nineteenth-century feminism."--Jacket.
