Jan Cohn was G. Keith Funston Professor of American Literature and American Studies at Trinity College and the author of four other books, including Creating America (1989).
She [Cohn] is particularly sensitive to recurrent motifs and issues
in the large corpus of Rinehart's work, and that sensitivity,
together with the chronological bibliography appended to the study,
will be welcomed by avid readers of mystery or suspense fiction as
well as by specialists in popular literature and culture. On the
whole, this biography is well done: it is at once scholarly and
popular, and it is therefore suited for large academic libararies
and public libraries with good collections of Rinehart's work.--
"Choice"
This detailed, well-annotated account of Rinehart's public and
private lives will complement a library's collection.-- "Library
Journal"
This is the impeccably researched story of a prolific writer. Jan
Cohn . . . utilizes archival sources, materials from Rinehart's
friends and family, and in-depth interviews with Rinehart's two
sons (the founders of Farrar & Rinehart Publishing in New York
City) in this lucid biography.-- "Best Sellers"
