Book excerpt: Dead Lovers are Faithful Lovers, published the year of Frances Newman's premature death, exposes the paradoxes and fallacies behind the outward sexual and political emancipation of women in the Roaring Twenties. Describing the thoughts of two women in love with the same man-one his suffering wife and the other his liberated lover-Newman carefully reveals that the thoughts, feelings, and desires of these two women are ultimately bounded by the same limits despite having such disparate social positions. In a society where a woman's value as well as her satisfaction are both determined by her husband's stature, marriage and adultery are no longer very different from each other."[One of] an important group of Southern writers who were reevaluating both the past and the present, and subjecting the raw material of life to the fearless scrutiny and the spacious treatment of art." - Ellen Glasgow
