{"product_id":"elizabeth-bowen","title":"Elizabeth Bowen","description":"\u003cp\u003eHermione Lee's critical 'estimation' of Bowen's work finds the author's witty, stylish treatment of manners and emotions to have an austere basis in her critique of the English middle classes. Underlying the struggles of will between individuals in her novels and stories is a diagnosis of the dislocation and dispossessin of a whole society. Her preccupation with betrayal and loss, and her interest in conflict (between innocence and experience, egotism and social pressures, memory and the present) are fully considered.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn estimating the value of the whole range of her work, the book pays particular attention to the Anglo-Irish context, to Elizabeth Bowen's extraordinary evocation of war-time London, to her penetration into the minds of children and adolescents, and to her special predilection for the macabre and the supernatural. It also considers her achievement as a critic and a historian.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 265\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780099277156\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Lee, H","offers":[{"title":"Standard Secondhand — £7.22","offer_id":47953756979377,"sku":"SB-0099277158-C3","price":7.22,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/sellbooks.co.uk\/products\/elizabeth-bowen","provider":"Sell Books .co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
