1st Edition. ix, [3], 13 - 107, [1 (blank)] pp. 8vo. 7-5/8" x 5-1/4" Dow "was born in 1897 in Lockport, Illinois, the daughter of John and Elizabeth Gund Dow. She began writing poems as a child, and although she continued to write a great deal of poetry throughout her long life, she first found success as a writer of pulp fiction and newspaper articles and reviews. Living in Chicago in the early 1920s, as a youthful poet Dow was encouraged by well-known poet Edgar Lee Masters and prominent artist John Warner Norton, two men among many who found her talented, intelligent and extremely attractive. In 1924, Dow published her first volume of verse entitled Black Babylon, followed by Will-o-the-Wisp in 1925. Both books received only mixed reviews, and Dow never achieved the great fame as a poet that she craved. Her friendship with Masters waned, and in 1925 she married a physician, James E. Fitzgerald. In the 1930s and 1940s, the scope of Dow's interests widened, and she wrote plays, novels, short stories, biographies and even a cookbook. The influence of Edgar Lee Masters still inspired her to continue to write poetry and they renewed communication until his death. Dow's last published work was a novel in 1947. Her health continued to decline in her 60s, a time when she worked on a long biographical poem finally titled Flowers of Time. As she grew older, her many later poems reflect her anger and sadness at the loss of her youthful activities and beauty. Sometime during the 1960s or 1970s, Dow had bound together typescripts of her most insightful and interesting writings: literary essays entitled titled The American Muse, An Informal Study of American Letters, 1890-1947. Dow's husband died in 1969, and for the next twenty years she lived in various Chicago locations, continuing to write and also to amass a large and impressive book collection. Dorothy Dow died in Muscatine, Iowa, in 1989 at the age of 91." [Newberry Archives]. Square & tight, Nr Fine.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - 'Black Babylon' is an evocative collection of poetry by Dorothy Dow that captures the vibrant and often turbulent spirit of the 1920s. Published at the height of the Jazz Age, this work explores the complexities of modern urban existence, the fleeting nature of romance, and the shifting social landscapes of the early twentieth century. Through sharp, rhythmic verse and a keen eye for detail, Dow portrays the allure and the disillusionment found within the metaphorical Babylon of the modern city.The poems within this collection are characterized by their emotional depth and their reflection of a generation seeking meaning in a rapidly changing world. From the neon-lit streets to the private moments of longing and reflection, Dow's work resonates with the energy of her time while addressing timeless human experiences. As a significant voice in early twentieth-century American poetry, Dow contributes to the rich tapestry of modernist literature, offering readers a glimpse into the sophisticated and searching mind of a woman navigating the complexities of her era. 'Black Babylon' stands as a compelling testament to the lyrical power and cultural resonance of jazz-age literature.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Appendix: Identifications of Persons Mentioned in the Letters. Signed and dated by Dorothy Dow on fep. Dorothy Dow Butturff was born on March 1, 1904 in La Crosse, Wis. Mrs. Butturff began her government career in 1930 with her appointment as a secretary in the Dept. of the Interior. She was transferred to the White House Social Bureau following President Franklin D. Roosevelt's first inauguration in 1933 and remained until 1957. From 1933 to 1945, she was assistant to Eleanor Roosevelt's personal secretary, Malvina Thompson Scheider, dividing her time between the White House and the Roosevelt home at Hyde Park, N.Y. During her White House years of "life on a merry-go-round in an elevator with the Roosevelts," Mrs. Butturff wrote many fascinating letters to her family detailing her varied experiences as a White House staff member. In 1984, these letters were edited by Ruth K. McClure and published as Eleanor Roosevelt, an eager spirit: the letters of Dorothy Dow, 1933-1945. In 1946 she transferred to the correspondence section of the Executive Office of the President, moving soon thereafter to the Office of Presidential Appointments, where she remained until her retirement in 1957. Dorothy Dow married Robert R. Butturff on Oct. 20, 1934. Ruth McClure was an established author and editor, associated with Yale University. The compiled letters of Dorothy Dow, one of Mrs. Roosevelt's most trusted secretaries, create a candid and engaging account of Eleanor Roosevelt and her inner circle of family, friends, and staff. Published in the year of the centennial celebration of Eleanor Roosevelt's birth, these letter from one of Mrs. Roosevelt's most trusted secretaries, Dorothy Dow, offer a particularly timely evocation of the beloved first lady. From her post and during summers in Hyde Park, Dorothy Dow observed Mrs. Roosevelt with keen interest and growing admiration. Ms. Dow's letters home were candid and engaging accounts of life lived close to Mrs. Roosevelt and her inner circle of family, friends, and staff. Along with vivid sketches of Mrs. R. at home, these letter breathe the spirit of the thirties and forties. They convey not only how people lived but how they thought and what they believed.
