This book investigates the impact of fascism on
twentieth-century British fiction. With a solid archival
underpinning, Suh locates anti-fascist counter-strategies in
middlebrow genres associated with women writers (domestic fiction,
melodrama, country house novels, and family sagas) and makes the
powerful argument that these rhetorical and narrative strategies
emerge as the most durable. Presenting works by Phyllis Bottome,
Nancy Mitford, Elizabeth Bowen, Virginia Woolf, and Muriel Spark,
the book shifts the focus from high modernism and its heirs, widely
considered the most important sites of literary conceptions of the
political, to the under explored feminist anti-fascist strategies
inherent to middlebrow fiction.
