| Abstract
|
:
|
This is a critical study of the novels, shorts stories, family history and essays of a writer still too little appreciated. Corcoran sees Elizabeth Bowen as a writer who not only inherits from the experimental traditions of the Modernist movement, but inherits them with a difference, in ways that make a difference.
