Grace MacGowan Cooke (1863-1944) was born in Grand Rapids, Ohio, and her family resettled in Chattanooga, Tennessee, in 1865. She was in her mid-twenties when her writing was first published, and by the turn of the century she was an established author, with works appearing in 'Harper's, ' 'Munsey's, ' and the 'Atlantic Monthly.' At the age of 43, she left her husband and her Appalachian roots behind to pursue a career as a writer in New York City. She later lived with her two daughters and sister in artists' colonies in Englewood, New Jersey, and Carmel-by-the-Sea, California. Elizabeth S.D. Englehardt is Assistant Professor of Women's Studies at West Virginia University. She is the author of 'The Tangled Roots of Feminism, Environmentalism, and Appalachian Literature.' She lives in Morgantown, West Virginia.
"The novel is more than just a good read, as Elizabeth Englehardt explains in her excellent introduction. Rather, well-drawn characters help to avoid some of the stereotyping of Appalachians prevalent in most of the literature of Cooke's day. In addition, the novel is a historically significant text: although Cooke's novels have long been out of print and few scholars have examined her writing, in her lifetime she was both popular and critically acclaimed, and her writing covers nearly fifty years in American literary history. Furthermore, this novel both anticipates many current feminist issues and gives us a chance to see how personal feminism can shape a writer's work. Finally, the novel deserves our attention because it examines industrialization and changing roles in Appalachian society at the turn of the century. The Power and the Glory is an important publishing event for scholars of Appalachian fiction. It should serve as an exemplum of early twentieth-century novels that examine the effect industrialization had on communities, individuals, and, in the this case, on women and children."--Journal of Appalachian Studies
