SIDELIGHTS

Linda De Roche is an academic. She completed a bachelor’s degree in English at Ball State University before going on to finish a master’s degree and then a Ph.D. in English in 1984 at the University of Notre Dame, with a dissertation on Henry James. De Roche eventually became a professor of English and American studies at Delaware’s Wesley College, where she has lectured on American literature and culture and gender studies since 1988. She additionally worked as the chair of the English Department. De Roche has served as a Fulbright Scholar and researched the American Civil War while in England. De Roche has written numerous critical companions for a range of authors, including Mary Higgins Clark, Erich Segal, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Willa Cather.

Mary Higgins Clark

De Roche published Mary Higgins Clark: Life and Letters in 2011. The account looks at the themes covered in Clark’s bestselling novels and pairs them with the events in the author’s life that served as major influences. De Roche offers summaries of the novels and major characters to draw these links. She also inserts a filmography of Clark’s works, a bibliography of interviews and other articles on her, and reviews of her novels.

Writing in Mystery Scene Online, Jon L. Breen took note of the “interesting” side stories that De Roche includes in her book on Clark’s life. Breen did, however, point out that some of De Roche’s analysis of Clark’s biography was already “obvious” to those familiar with her life. Breen acknowledged the balance in the account, commenting that although the author was “clearly an admirer of her subject, she is not reluctant to quote critical detractors.”

The Jazz Age

In 2015 De Roche published The Jazz Age: A Historical Exploration of Literature. The account serves as an introduction to the Jazz Age of the early twentieth century, focusing on the literature from this period. De Roche allots one chapter to a novel each from authors Nella Larsen, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Sinclair Lewis, Anita Loos, and Ernest Hemingway, offering synopses and also reflections on why these novels continue to be important and relevant to a contemporary readership. De Roche also discusses numerous movements and contemporary events that provide context for the times, such as the Harlem Renaissance.

Reviewing the book in Choice, L.A. Brewer remarked that some of the content seemed to be “off topic.” However, Brewer insisted that “instructors would do well to include The Jazz Age on a class reading list for the background” of the period that it covers. Overall, Brewer “recommended” the book, particularly for undergraduate students and also general readers.

De Roche (English and American studies, Wesley College) presents a critique of popular suspense author Mary Higgins
Clark which connects important events in her life to the evolution and establishment of her literary style, themes and
character development. De Roche links the death of Clark's father during the family's financial struggle in the Great
Depression, the relatively early loss of her husband, and her conservative, sheltered upbringing and married life to the
underlying character of her heroines. She traces the connections to widowhood, fraught father­daughter relationships,
strong maternal bonds, and current events throughout Clark's novels, demonstrating the ways in which Clark's own
experiences impacted her literary choices and imbued her themes and characters.

Alexander's Bridge, O Pioneers!, The Song of the Lark, My Antonia, The Professor's House, Death Comes for the
Archbishop, and Shadows on the Rock. The bibliography includes reviews and criticism for each of the works

De Roche (Wesley College) provides a credible and basic introduction to the era of flappers, speakeasies, rampant consumerism, and Lost Generation disillusion. The book features a general overview of a novel apiece by Sinclair Lewis, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Anita Loos, Ernest Hemingway, and Nella Larsen. Students will appreciate the synopses of the novels and De Roche's explanations in each chapter of "why we read" the particular book being considered. In addition, for each novel De Roche includes documents that supply context related to contemporary events and notable movements, such as the Harlem Renaissance. Most of these supplemental readings are informative and entertaining. Case in point: in a wry article chosen by De Roche as background material for Anita Loos's Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, Robert Sherwood laments not having attended any orgies, witnessed any murders, or obtained any drugs in his contact with the emerging Hollywood movie culture. That said, some of the documents seem a bit off topic--for example, Arthur Robinson's lengthy "My Friend Babe Ruth" in the Gatsby section. Nonetheless, instructors would do well to include The Jazz Age on a class reading list for the background it would afford those unfamiliar with the period. Summing Up: ** Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates; general readers.--L. A. Brewer, Instructional Connections
