This book reviews the cross-disciplinary debate sparked by renewed interest in Elinor Glyn’s life and legacy by film scholars and literary and feminist historians and offers a range of views of Glyn's cultural and historical significance and areas for future research. Elinor Glyn was a celebrity figure in the 1920s. In the magazines she gave tips on beauty and romance, on keeping your man and on the contentious issue of divorce. Her racy stories were turned into films – most famously, Three Weeks (1924) and It (1927). Decades on the ‘It Girl’ remains in common currency, defining the sexy, sassy and alluring young woman. She was beloved by readers of romance, and her films were distributed widely in Europe and the Americas. They were viewed by the judiciary as scandalous, but by others—Hollywood and the Spanish Catholic Church—as acceptably conservative. Glyn has become a peripheral figure in histories of this period, marginalized in accounts of the youth-centred ‘flapper era’. This book features scholarship by Stacy Gillis, Annette Kuhn, Nickianne Moody, Caterina Riba and Carme Sanmartí, Lisa Stead, Karen Randell, and Alexis Weedonand includes, translated for the first time, the intertitles for Márton Garas, 1917 film of Three Weeks, Három hét by Orsolya Zsuppán. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Women: A Cultural Review.

Elinor Glyn's 'Six Days' is a narrative tour de force which embodies the expressive prose and energetic dialogue characteristic of Glyn's early 20th-century works. The novel, revered as a classic of world literature, intricately navigates the nuanced emotional landscape of its characters, all within the compact span of six pivotal days. Glyn's unique ability to intertwine high society romance with astute psychological insight is displayed within the text, aligning her with contemporaries that explore the human condition through the lens of personal relationships, class tension, and societal expectations. This special edition from DigiCat Publishing enlivens Glyn's work for a contemporary audience, maintaining the work's historical literary context while offering modern accessibility through both print and ebook formats. Elinor Glyn, born in 1864, was a pioneering British novelist and scriptwriter renowned for her contributions to popular fiction and the glamourization of romance. The creation of 'Six Days' can be attributed to Glyn's profound understanding and interpretation of Edwardian high society's dynamics, coupled with her own experiences and observations from within such circles. Her writings prompted broader societal discourse on love and sexuality, often offering bold, sometimes scandalous, perspectives that resonated with, and occasionally incited, her readership. 'Six Days' is thus recommended to both enthusiasts of Glyn's expansive oeuvre and newcomers alike. Those interested in exploring themes of love, social power structures, and character introspection within a classic literary framework will find Glyn's work profoundly rewarding. This edition, carefully reproduced by DigiCat Publishing, ensures that the legacy of Elinor Glyn's storytelling continues to captivate minds and stir the hearts of a modern readership, honoring the passion that she so emphatically believed literature should convey.
