"This collection of essays charts the creative life of one of the most important and
successful novelists in the twentieth-century, the Anglo Irish writer, Elizabeth Bowen
(1899-1973). Chapter by chapter, the study provides a comprehensive scholarly account
of each of her ten novels, published between 1927 and 1969, as well as the short stories,
family histories, travel writings and memoirs of this accomplished and critically
respected modernist. This edited and chronologically structured collection provides
a full account of Bowen's centrality as a major novelist in the traditions of twentieth-century
cultural production, in modernist literature and, in particular, in theories of modern
Irish writing. Recent critical work on Bowen's fictions has increased significantly
and the present collection reflects this renewed interest in an outstanding writer."--Jacket
