Patricia Laurence counters the popular image of Bowen as a mannered, reserved Anglo-Irish writer and presents her as a bold, independent woman who took risks and made her own rules in life and writing. This biography distinguishes itself from others in the depth of research into the life experiences that fueled Bowen’s writing: her espionage for the British Ministry of Information in neutral Ireland, 1940-1941, and the devoted circle of friends, lovers, intellectuals and writers whom she valued: Isaiah Berlin, William Plomer, Maurice Bowra, Stuart Hampshire, Charles Ritchie, Sean O’Faolain, Virginia Woolf, Rosamond Lehmann, and Eudora Welty, among others. The biography also demonstrates how her feelings of irresolution about national identity and gender roles were dispelled through her writing. Her vivid fiction, often about girls and women, is laced with irony about smooth social surfaces rent by disruptive emotion, the sadness of beleaguered adolescents, the occurrence of cultural dislocation, historical atmo | | 出版日期 | Book 2021Latest edition | | 关键词 | Elizabeth Bowen; Irish woman writer; public intellectual; World War II; the Cold War; British Ministry of | | 版次 | 2 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-71360-7 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-71359-1 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-71360-7Series ISSN 2946-2037 Series E-ISSN 2946-2045 | | issn_series | 2946-2037 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
