Ellen Anderson Gholson Glasgow (April 22, 1873 - November 21, 1945) was an American novelist who won the Pulitzer Prize for the Novel in 1942. A lifelong Virginian who published 20 books including seven novels which sold well (five reaching best-seller lists) as well as gained critical acclaim, Glasgow portrayed the changing world of the contemporary South, differing from the idealistic escapism that characterized Southern literature after Reconstruction. During more than four decades of literary work, Glasgow published 20 novels, a collection of poems, a book of short stories, and a book of literary criticism. Her first novel, The Descendant (1897) was written in secret and published anonymously when she was 24.

Ellen Glasgow wrote only thirteen short stories during her long career, seven of which appeared in ''The Shadowy Third''. Published in 1923 by Doubleday, Page & Company, it was the only collection of short stories published during her lifetime. Of the seven tales it contains, only four are supernatural, but all have an eerie quality to them; in fact, ''Jordan''s End'', a non-ghost story, is the most ghostly story that the author ever wrote. This new edition contains the seven stories included in the first edition and adds to those tales a seventeen-page biographical essay by Gina R. Collia, ''Ellen Glasgow: The Solitary Spirit''.

Virginius Littlepage is a lawyer working in Queensborough, Canada. Dejected and tired of life, he finds little solace in his family affairs and turns his attentions to his secretary, Milly Burden, in a last-ditch attempt to inject some spice in to his life. With the arrival of Littlepage’s domineering daughter, who returns from a life of war work and philanthropy, comes a new series of interpersonal problems for all concerned. ''They Stooped to Folly'' is an engrossing tale of love, loss, deceit and dedication guaranteed to pull the reader into the midst of the chaos caused by the problems of family, love, and duty. Ellen Anderson Gholson Glasgow was an American novelist whose work illustrated the societal changes of the contemporary south. Amongst her most famous works are ''In This our Life'' (1941), which won a Pulitzer Prize and was made into an eponymous named film by Warner Brothers, and ''The Sheltered Life'' (1932). This book, originally published in 1929, is now published with a new introductory biography of the author.
