Autorenporträt
Susan Keating Glaspell (July 1, 1876 - July 27, 1948) was a pioneering American playwright, novelist, actress, director, biographer, and poet, best known for her contributions to modern American drama. A founding member of the Provincetown Players, she played a key role in shaping the early years of modern theater in the United States. Glaspell's writing, whether in plays or novels, is characterized by her focus on complex, sympathetic characters and an exploration of the human experience. She often delved into issues of social and moral significance, using realism to portray life's challenges. Her work reflects a deep interest in philosophy and religion, and many of her characters are depicted as making principled stands in the face of personal and societal conflict. In addition to her literary work, Glaspell served as the Midwest Bureau Director of the Federal Theater Project under the Works Progress Administration, further demonstrating her commitment to advancing American theater. Her legacy endures in the richness of her characters and the depth of her exploration into the complexities of life and human nature.
