He structures Trust around a childless, affluent Manhattan couple, Andrew and Mildred Bevel, in a quartet of narratives that open up like Matryoshka dolls: a novel, a partial memoir, a memoir of that memoir, and a journal. He transports readers back to the Roaring Twenties and subsequent Depression, when our collective labors bore rotten fruit, seeding disparities that are still with us.

Stewart was resourceful and industrious and after working for a time in Denver, she traveled to Wyoming to work for Henry Clyde Stewart as a housekeeper on his homestead. She married her first husband in 1902 and was widowed in 1906 while pregnant. Born Elinore Pruitt in 1876 in Chickasaw Nation territory in modern day Oklahoma, her birth father died when she was very young and her mother and step-father both died when Stewart was a teenager, leaving her in charge of her younger siblings at age 18. First published in 1914, Stewart’s work is a collection of 26 letters written by Stewart from 1909 to 1914 which follow her adventures in Wyoming. “Letters of a Woman Homesteader” is the fascinating true tale of life on the American frontier by Elinore Pruitt Stewart. ![]() ![]() ![]() Thought of as premodern precursors to the museum, these collections encompassing a wide range of objects gathered from scientific expeditions, and imperial and mercantile travels: fossils, taxidermized animals, parts of rare or exotic fauna, ethnographic artefacts, minerals, regalia and precious metals, religious relics, herbaria, and human anatomical specimens, often diseased or anomalous body parts, including aborted embryos preserved in formaldehyde– embody the Enlightenment zeitgeist based in a particular conception of rational knowledge and epistemic praxis.

There is also no shortage of criticism against the English upper class, and the homoerotic symbolism oozes from every other page. Looking at the premise of the work alone, it could have just as well been a cheap thriller devoid of complexity, but Wilde imbues the work with no small amount of literary references and witty dialogue. It is no stretch to claim to claim that Dorian Gray is a Faustian character, whilst the hedonistic Lord Henry represents a model of Huysmans' own Des Esseintes as a sort of Mephistopheles who coaxes Dorian towards his doom. Huysmans' novel A rebours features as a prominent motif in the book. Though obviously Victorian with regards to characters and setting, but the influence of French Symbolism is very easy to see.
