Mildred Jordan : ウィキペディア英語版 | Mildred Jordan Mildred Jordan (March 18, 1901 – October 23, 1982) was an American author and playwright. Born in Chicago, she worked at the Hull House before relocating to Reading, Pennsylvania after her marriage. Her first novel, ''One Red Rose Forever'', which was based on the history of Lancaster County, was rejected by twenty-two publishers before finally appearing in 1941. Her subsequent books often focused on the lives of Pennsylvania Dutch immigrants to America.〔〔 Public reaction to Jordan's work was mixed. While a 1954 review of her play ''The Wonderful Cornelia'' referred to her as "one of the nation's best-known novelists", John Updike expressed a more ambivalent view of her talents several years later, dismissing her in a sentence as "an unmeetably rich industrialist's wife". In addition to her own writing, Jordan also served as the editor of the ''Berks County Historical Magazine''. She received an honorary doctorate of humane letters from Albright College in 1979. Jordan was represented by the literary agent Annie Laurie Williams,〔 whose other clients included Margaret Mitchell, John Steinbeck, and Truman Capote. ==Bibliography==
