Reviews
This state-of-the-art collection of high-powered critical essays secures Elizabeth Bowen's position at the forefront of twentieth-century fiction. Resisting the tendency to pigeonhole her as a modernist, postmodernist or neo-realist, the contributors show how Bowen's startling originality puts such lifeless categories into question., [ Elizabeth Bowen: Theory,Thought and Things ] will surely come to be recognized as an indispensable volume for Bowen scholars.

The eleven chapters present new scholarship on Bowen's inventiveness and unique writing style and attachment to objects, covering topics such as queer adolescents, housekeeping, female fetishism, habit and new technologies such as the telephone., From experiments in language and identity to innovations in the novel, the short story and life narratives, the contributors discuss the way in which Bowen's work straddles, informs and defies the existing definitions of modernist and postmodernist literature which dominate twentieth-century writing., Explores Elizabeth Bowen's significant contribution to twentieth-century literary theory Provides new avenues for research in Bowen studies in ways that are concerned primarily with Bowen's perception of writing and narrativeMoves away from perceptions of Bowen's writing tied to existing ideological categories, such as viewing her work through a lens of psychoanalysis, modernism, or Irish or British history and which emphasise Bowen's innovation not as central to our understanding of the changes happening in twentieth-century literature and history, but as instead a point of 'difficulty'Recognises Bowen's innovation, experimentation and her impact on her contemporaries and literary descendants From experiments in language and identity to innovations in the novel, the short story and life narratives, the contributors discuss the way in which Bowen's work straddles, informs and defies the existing definitions of modernist and postmodernist literature which dominate twentieth-century writing.
