Sharon M Harris: Her Life in Ink, Gebunden

Klappentext

The first biography of Elizabeth Garver Jordan: an outstanding writer, a visionary in terms of genre, and an astute critic of contemporary American culture. In a career that spanned the Progressive Era to World War II, she was a widely-read journalist (best known for covering the Lizzie Borden case), an influential editor of Harper's Bazar, and literary editor for Harper's books. Her editorial work was instrumental to the successful careers of Jack London, Stephen Crane, Sinclair Lewis, and more. Equally important was her influence on the development of mystery writing in early 20th-century America, as one of the genre's top authors alongside Agatha Christie and Mary Roberts Rinehart.
