释义
Young, Marguerite
American author
in full Marguerite Vivian Young
born 1909, Indianapolis, Ind., U.S
died Nov. 17, 1995, Indianapolis
American writer best known for Miss MacIntosh, My Darling (1965), a mammoth, many-layered novel of illusion and reality.
Educated at Indiana University and Butler University, Indianapolis (B.A., 1930), Young also studied at the University of Chicago (M.A., 1936) and did graduate work at the University of Iowa. Thereafter she taught at a number of schools and universities.
Young's first published works were two books of poetry, Prismatic Ground (1937) and Moderate Fable (1944). Angel in the Forest: A Fairy Tale of Two Utopias (1945) examines the foundation of two utopian communities in New Harmony, Indiana. Miss MacIntosh, My Darling, the project that occupied virtually the next two decades of Young's life, is an exploration of myth and the mythmaking impulse. The book's protagonist, Vera Cartwheel, rejects her mother's opium-induced vagueness and searches for her long-lost nursemaid, Miss MacIntosh, who represents common sense and reality. Cartwheel's journey ends in disillusionment.
The author's later works include a collection of short stories entitled Below the City (1975), Nothing but the Truth (1993), and Inviting the Muses: Stories, Essays, Reviews (1994).
