Book Description A splendid copy, bound in finely woven blue cloth and stamped brightly in red and black on the front boards and on the spine. A near-fine copy, very clean and tight throughout; virtually unread. In a very good plus striking pictorial dust jacket featuring a woodcut of a mysterious house and ominous sky. With the original price of "75 Cents" at the top of the front flap. With a touch of sunning to the spine and light chipping to the extremities. Elizabeth Garver Jordan (1867 1947), born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. American journalist, author, editor, and suffragist, now remembered primarily for having edited the first two novels of Sinclair Lewis, and for her relationship with Henry James, especially for recruiting him to participate in the round-robin novel The Whole Family. She was editor of Harper's Bazaar from 1900 to 1913. She wrote over 30 novels.In 1890, Jordan moved to New York City and began working at Joseph Pulitzer's newspaper, the New York World. Her first big break was an interview with the normally reticent First Lady Caroline Scott Harrison, wife of President Benjamin Harrison. At the World she became known for her regular Sunday human interest feature "True Stories of the News". Major stories she covered included the trial of Carlyle Harris for the murder of his wife Helen Potts and the trial of accused ax murderer Lizzie Borden.[3][4][5] She also wrote a series of articles about conditions in New York City tenements that was later published as the book The Submerged Tenth.[4] In 1895, she published a collection of short stories, many of them inspired by her work, called Tales of the City Room. In 1897 she was appointed assistant Sunday editor of the World.[3]From 1901 to 1913, she was editor of the magazine Harper's Bazaar. During those years she published a number of novels and short story collections. These included a popular series of novels featuring the heroine May Iverson.[3] Her play The Lady of Oklahoma premiered on Broadway at the 48th Street Theatre in April 1913.[3][6] During this period, she is perhaps best remembered for organizing a collaborative novel called The Whole Family, about the middle class Talbert family from New England. Each of her co-authors, some of them novelists of some renown like Henry James and William Dean Howells, penned one of the twelve chapters. The novel was serialized in Harper's from 1907 to 1908.[3]After the sale of Harper's to William Randolph Hearst, she remained at Harper and Brothers as literary advisor until 1918. In that capacity, she edited the first novel by Sinclair Lewis, Our Mr. Wrenn (1914).[3] While his first novel required extensive revision with her assistance, his second, The Trail of the Hawk (1915), required no editorial intervention.[5] She also helped publish novels by a number of female authors, including Zona Gale, Eleanor H. Porter, and Dorothy Canfield Fisher.[3]Jordan was an active suffragist and in 1917 organized another collaborative novel, The Sturdy Oak, with fourteen authors supporting the cause, including Fannie Hurst, Dorothy Canfield Fisher, Mary Heaton Vorse, Alice Duer Miller, Ethel Watts Mumford, Henry Kitchell Webster and William Allen White. The novel was serialized in Collier's Weekly.[4] She also collaborated with minister and women's movement leader Anna Howard Shaw on Shaw's autobiography, The Story of a Pioneer (1915).[3]In 1918, she was briefly editorial director for Goldwyn Pictures. She spent the rest of her career writing.[3] Two of her novels were adapted for film: Daddy and I (1934) as Make Way for a Lady (1936) and The Girl in the Mirror (1919) as The Girl in Number 29 (1920). She published a memoir, Three Rousing Cheers, in 1938. She died at her home in New York City and was buried in Florence, Massachusetts.
