Margaret Storm Jameson (1891-1986) is primarily known as a
compelling essayist; her stature as a novelist and champion of the
dispossessed is largely forgotten. In "Life in the Writings of
Storm Jameson, "Elizabeth Maslen reveals a figure who held her own
beside fellow British women writers, including Virginia Woolf;
anticipated the Angry Young Women, such as Doris Lessing; and was
an early champion of such European writers as Arthur Koestler and
Czesław Miłosz. Jameson was a complex character whose politics were
grounded in social justice; she was passionately antifascist--her
novel "In the Second Year "(1936) raised the alarm about
Nazism--but always wary of communism. An eloquent polemicist,
Jameson was, as president of the British P.E.N. during the 1930s
and 1940s, of invaluable assistance to refugee writers. Elizabeth
Maslen's biography introduces a true twentieth century hedgehog,
whose essays and subtly experimental fiction were admired in Europe
and the States.
