"Kevin McMullen and his students have richly contextualized one of Glaspell's most complex and provocative novels, illuminating still-relevant questions of love, marriage, and divorce that confront and challenge the characters."—Marcia Noe, author of Susan Glaspell: Voice from the Heartland"Fidelity is Glaspell's most powerful, contemporary, wide-ranging novel, whose persona—like Glaspell herself—is feminist: daring to break social mores, love with great courage, and to move on, if necessary, for a new life."—Linda Ben-Zvi, author of Susan Glaspell: Her Life and Times
