Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Lilia Chenoworth Dear Peggy: - Since you, at least, will find most of me somewhere between these pages, it is with a secure sense of comradeship that I offer them to you. And may I offer with them just a word of explanation? The story of Lilia and of Dunster is not a "college story," nor is it a "romance of the theatre." If it were a "college story," the chapters neighbored by an entirely imaginary college for women would be a doubtful gift - because, in many respects, untypical and incomplete. They have been sharply questioned, before publication, by pained graduates, who have urged me either to expand or expunge them. With perhaps characteristic stubbornness, I have been unable to do either. My purpose in composing them as they stand was purely artistic: they were designed merely to introduce my principal characters in a certain light and with chosen effects of contrast which I still feel to be legitimate. Had I been attempting a story meant to illustrate the extraordinarily rich and complex life of our modern colleges for women (or, for that matter, the extraordinarily rich and complex life of our modern theatre), other methods of treatment would at once have been forced upon me.
