SUMMARY:Jessica Mitford and Her Sisters\, In Print
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The Grolier Club \n\n\nLecture with Carla Kaplan \n\n\n\n\nAcclaimed biographer Carla Kaplan\, author of Troublemaker: The Fierce\, Unruly Life of Jessica Mitford (HarperCollins)\, will explore the print and manuscript culture of Jessica Mitford (1917-1996) and her five sisters\, members of a famous British literary family. They wrote autobiographical novels and memoirs\, offering wildly contrasting accounts of one another. Jessica had escaped a cosseted childhood in a Cotswold manor to become a California-based Communist and then muckraker. With her 1960 memoir—fond\, funny\, and often teasing of her equally celebrated (or notorious) relatives—she hoped to come closer to the family she’d left behind. But instead\, the book\, which was lauded and sold well in the U.K. and America\, worsened the rifts. This talk will shed light on what the sisters wrote and published\, with different lenses on their upbringing\, as well as their libraries and Kaplan’s own book collection\, which includes Mitford’s rare mimeographed books and archival documentation of wranglings with publishers. Kaplan will be in conversation with Mitford’s daughter Constancia Romilly. \nREGISTER HERE: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/virtual-jessica-mitford-and-her-sisters-in-print-which-story-is-true-tickets-1982039480441?aff=ebdsoporgprofile \nCarla Kaplan\, author of Troublemaker\, is a professor of English\, African-American and Women’s\, Gender\, and Sexuality Studies at Northeastern University and holds the Davis Distinguished Professorship in American Literature.
