| Abstract
|
:
|
"Women Writing Modern Fiction: A Passion for Ideas draws connections between the work of authors such as Elizabeth Bowen, Dorothy L. Sayers, Olivia Manning, Barbara Pym and A.S. Byatt, who dramatize darkness in wartime, gothic terror, madness, and romantic betrayal, yet celebrate the triumph of rationality and the 'higher common sense'. Bypassing the innovations of the modernists, they rewrite the Victorian novel in stylish modern dress. With irony, detachment, wit, and high intelligence they bring us acrobatic tales of the mind."--Jacket.
