add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the book entitled "Vein of Iron," by Ellen Glasgow. According to the author Glasgow, fully recognizing the harsh illogic of the world today, presents a counter-theory of salvation of the individual by his own integrity and inner virtue. Glasgow has attempted to cover a large canvas in time and to touch the lives of most of the villagers of Ironside with the movement of the world for thirty years. The author remarks that such is the bright strength of her spirit that she is as ready for a new life at forty as she might have been at ten, and has as much energy, resilience, and tenderness to undertake it.
