Very Great Profession: The Womans' Novel 1914 -39 (Revised) | Nicola Beauman

3 posts | 1 read | 5 to read

Ranging through a variety of themes such as the Great War, the servant problem, psycho-analysis, sexuality and feminism, this work examines their effects upon the characters created by authors as diverse as Virginia Woolf, EM Delafield and Elinor Glyn. It produces a picture of the lives of middle-class women during this period.

Very Great Profession: The Womans' Novel 1914 -39 (Revised) | Nicola Beauman

#SeptPhotoChallenge Day 14 - non-fiction love

#PersephoneBooks is mostly known for short story collections & novels that they republish, but I prefer their nonfic!

A VERY GREAT PROFESSION (top), analyzes female fiction characters and therefore women's roles in society. LONDON WAR NOTES (lower-left) is a collection of New Yorker essays from WW2 England. FEW EGGS AND NO ORANGES is a diary of real London life during WW2. #somethingForSeptember

quirkyreader The Beauman book is one of many I plan to read. I liked the biography she did of Elizabeth Taylor. 8y

BooksForYears @quirkyreader Once I read some of Elizabeth Taylor's books (eventually, because of TBR reasons), I intend to pick up Nicola's bio of her! 8y
