Elizabeth von Arnim

Opis

This new scholarly edition of von Arnim's popular novel will tease out the interplay between seriousness and comedy as a response to war trauma and the wider historical context, while engaging with notions of literary fashion, popularity, and film in the period.

Recenzje

Anchored within the lives of four very different women, this overtly potent novel is endemic of the era in which it was written, whilst simultaneously timeless and all transcending. David Marx: Book Reviews
