Lifted Masks is a collection of short stories written by Susan Glaspell, an American writer and playwright. The book was first published in 1912 and contains ten stories that explore the complexities of human relationships and the hidden desires and emotions that lie beneath the surface. The stories in Lifted Masks are set in different parts of the United States and feature a diverse cast of characters, including farmers, factory workers, and wealthy socialites. Despite their differences, the characters are all grappling with similar issues, such as love, jealousy, and the struggle to find meaning in their lives. Glaspell's writing style is characterized by vivid descriptions and insightful observations about human nature. She uses her stories to explore themes such as the role of women in society, the impact of social class on relationships, and the tension between individual desires and societal expectations. Overall, Lifted Masks is a thought-provoking and engaging collection of stories that offers a glimpse into the complexities of human experience. Glaspell's writing is both timeless and relevant, and her stories continue to resonate with readers today.It lifted him then as a great wave--this passionate exultation that here was one man whom corruption could not claim as her own. Here was one human soul not to be had for a price! There flitted before him again a picture of that seventeen-year-old boy in the little red schoolhouse, and close upon it came the picture of this other young man against whom all powers of corruption had been turned in vain. With the one it had been the emotional luxury of a sentiment, a thing from life's actualities apart; with the other it was a force that dominated all things else, a force over which circumstances and design could not prevail.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
