Elizabeth Bowen and the Dissolution of the Novel - Bennett, A. a Royle, N.

Elizabeth Bowen and the Dissolution of the Novel argues that the Anglo- Irish writer Elizabeth Bowen (1899-1973) is one of the most important, though undervalued, practitioner of the twentieth-century novel in English. The authors contend that Bowen's work calls for a radically new conception of criticism and theory - and of the novel itself.
