Modern & contemporary fiction (post c 1945)An Old Song Ending
by Lorn Macintyre
An Old Song Ending is set in the period 1970 to 2000, and is about Dr Ranald Macdonald, an aristocratic scholar of the Gaelic language, and folklore collector, who has an estate on a Hebridean island and spends most of his time transcribing the hundreds of tape recordings he has made of Gaelic singers and storytellers. His wife Rosemary, a Canadian, is an artist who is collaborating with him on an illustrated book on the history, flora and fauna of the estate, called Leabhar nan Ros (The Book of the Peninsula). The Macdonalds have no children, and Dr Macdonald and Rosemary undertake the long journey to Tierra del Fuego, ‘The Land of Fire,’ in search of an heir, since an ancestor, who had been studying for the priesthood in Spain, left the seminary in mysterious circumstances and went to work on a Tierra del Fuego estancia for Alexander MacLennan, an actual historical figure known as the ‘Red Pig’ who massacred the Ona Indians because they interfered with sheep farming. An Old Song Ending deals with the paranormal, which features so prominently in the songs and stories which Dr Macdonald has collected. But there is a more modern and sinister theme in that the heir he locates becomes involved with a woman who professes to have paranormal powers. The novel is also about the loss of status of the landed class.

by Evelyn Helmick Hively (editor)
A sampling of Elinor Wylie's most representative workIn the 1920s Elinor Wylie’s poetry and novels were critically acclaimed and enjoyed popularity in both the United States and England. Her poems were published in the New Yorker, the Century, the New Republic, and the Saturday Review of Literature, and she was described by contemporaries as an icon of the age. Much of the charm of Wylie’s work is in her humor as well as in her understanding and mastery of so many poetic forms. Her magazine stories and articles from Vanity Fair, the New Yorker, and other leading periodicals of the twenties demonstrate her virtuosity and are illustrative of the era.Selected Works of Elinor Wylie contains 113 of the 161 poems Wylie chose for the volumes published in her lifetime and 100 more that appeared in Collected Poems and in Last Poems. Also included are the first chapters of each of her novels, Jennifer Lorn, The Venetian Glass Nephew, The Orphan Angel, and Mr. Hodge and Mr. Hazard. Editor and scholar Evelyn Hively chose short stories, essays, reviews, and articles to further define Wylie’s rich and broad repertoire and her place on the 1920s literary scene.Scholars and researchers of this modern woman writer and her contemporaries will find this a welcome addition to women’s literary studies.
