return to handbook view FERBER, EDNA (1887-1968). Edna Ferber, novelist, was born on August 15, 1887, in Kalamazoo, Michigan, to Jacob Charles and Julia (Neumann) Ferber. Her father was a Jewish immigrant from Hungary. The family left Kalamazoo when Edna was three years old to live in Chicago for a year. Afterward, they spent seven years in Ottumwa, Iowa, and finally settled in Appleton, Wisconsin, where she graduated from Ryan High School. She became the first female reporter for the Appleton Crescent , although she had no desire to be a writer. Her work on the high school newspaper and her publication of a feature article on the confirmation service at Temple Emanu-El in Appleton had impressed the Crescent 's editor. After she was fired by a new editor who did not care for her style of writing, Ferber was offered a job with the Milwaukee Journal . She took a leave from her duties at the Journal due to illness and returned to her family's home in Appleton to recuperate. There she started writing and selling her short stories and began work on her first novel, Dawn O'Hara, The Girl Who Laughed

Ferber, Edna American novelist, short-story writer, and playwright, whose works serve as a chronicle of American life in the early 20th century. Her 1924 novel, So Big, won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction in 1925. Ferber was born in Kalamazoo, Michigan. After graduating from Ryan High School in Appleton, Wisconsin, she became the first female journalist for the Appleton Daily Crescent. She later worked for the Milwaukee Journal and the Chicago Tribune. Ferber discarded the manuscript for her first novel, Dawn O'Hara, the Girl Who Laughed (1911), but her mother retrieved it and submitted it to a publisher. In Fanny Herself (1917) Ferber directly addresses the issue of anti-Semitism, showing her characters gaining strength through adversity. The best-selling novel So Big (1924) chronicles the life of a hardworking, principled farm woman and her materialistic son. Many of Ferber's works were adapted as motion pictures, including Show Boat (1926), about a late-19th-century Mississippi river showboat (filmed in 1936, remade 1951); Cimarron (1930), set during the late-19th-century land boom in Oklahoma (filmed in 1931, remade 1960); Giant (1952), about a wealthy Texas rancher (filmed in 1956); and Ice Palace (1958), which is set in Alaska and credited with helping that territory gain statehood in 1959 (filmed in 1960).

Short Story Classics Edna Ferber April 25th, As Usual by Edna Ferber Now don't gather from this that Mrs. Brewster was an ample, pie-baking, ginghamed old soul who wore black silk and a crushed-looking hat with a palsied rose atop it. Nor that Hosea C. Brewster was spectacled and slippered. Not at all. The Hosea C. Brewsters, of Winnebago, Wisconsin, were the people you've met on the veranda of the Moana Hotel at Honolulu, or at the top of Pike's Peak, or peering into the restless heart of Vesuvius. They were the prosperous Middle-Western type of citizen who runs down to Chicago to see the new plays and buy a hat, and to order a dozen Wedgwood salad plates at Field's. Mrs. Brewster knew about Dunsany and Georgette and alligator pears; and Hosea Brewster was in the habit of dropping around to the Elks' Club, up above Schirmer's furniture store on Elm Street, at about five in the afternoon on his way home from the cold-storage plant. The Brewster house was honeycombed with sleeping porches and sun parlours and linen closets, and laundry chutes and vegetable bins and electric surprises as well-to-do Middle Western home is likely to be. Ted and Pinky, away at school, began to bring their friends back with them for the vacations. Pinky's room had been done over in cream enamel and rose-flowered cretonne. She said the chromos in the hall spoiled the entire second floor. So the gold frames, glittering undimmed, the cheeks as rosily glowing as ever, found temporary resting-places in a nondescript back chamber known as the serving room. Then the new sleeping porch was built for Ted, and the portraits ended their journeying in the attic.

Ferber was born in Kalamazoo, Mich., but as a tot moved to Ottumwa with her parents, Julia and Jacob, a storekeeper. From Iowa, the Ferbers moved to Appleton, Wis., where Edna, realizing she was not "pretty," gave up her dream of becoming a stage actress. Instead, she turned to writing, starting out as a reporter. Her first novel, "Dawn O'Hara," was published in 1911 after her mother fished it out of the furnace, where Ferber had tossed it when she received many rejection letters. Later came her blockbuster successes, with settings spanning the American landscape: "So Big" (1924), which brought Ferber the Pulitzer Prize, "Show Boat" (1926), "Cimarron" (1929), "Come and Get It" (1935), "Saratoga Trunk" (1941) and "Giant" (1952). Many of her works were turned into lavish movies starring Hollywood's elite. "Show Boat" was filmed three times, in 1929, 1936 and 1951.

38. Edna Ferber / Half Portions Edna Ferber (18871968) was a journalist and author whose best-known works includethe Pulitzer Prize-winning So Big and the novels that were made into the http://www.press.uillinois.edu/s03/ferber.html

Half Portions Edna Ferber The short stories in this collection take the reader from small-town Wisconsin to the bustling streets of New York and Chicago and back again. While they range greatly in length and tone, they all share the trademark wit and affectionate insight of Edna Ferber. Showcasing the facility with words that made her a mainstay at the Algonquin round table, Ferber explores some of her favorite themes: the role of women (especially strong or unconventional women) in modern society, the mores of the midwestern small town, and the changes over time in relationships between parents and children. In "The Maternal Feminine," a plain, overlooked child grows into a strong, resourceful businesswoman and forms a strong motherly bond with the children of her more attractive sister. In "April 25th, As Usual," an aging Wisconsin couple reluctantly join their successful daughter in New York, where they try to adjust to a very different lifestyle. "Old Lady Mandle"is a bittersweet tale about an elderly Chicago mother coming to terms with the fact that she is no longer the most important woman in the life of her grown son. "One Hundred Per Cent" features Ferber's celebrated heroine Emma McChesney, now re-married, seeing her husband off to war. The stories gathered here are beautifully observed chronicles of early twentieth-century life and are filled with characters who, despite their very human foibles, are all bestowed by Ferber with warmth and dignity.
