Explores Elizabeth Bowen's significant contribution to
twentieth-century literary theory Provides new avenues for research
in Bowen studies in ways that are concerned primarily with Bowen's
perception of writing and narrative Moves away from perceptions of
Bowen's writing tied to existing ideological categories, such as
viewing her work through a lens of psychoanalysis, modernism, or
Irish or British history and which emphasise Bowen's innovation not
as central to our understanding of the changes happening in
twentieth-century literature and history, but as instead a point of
'difficulty' Recognises Bowen's innovation, experimentation and her
impact on her contemporaries and literary descendants From
experiments in language and identity to innovations in the novel,
the short story and life narratives, the contributors discuss the
way in which Bowen's work straddles, informs and defies the
existing definitions of modernist and postmodernist literature
which dominate twentieth-century writing. The eleven chapters
present new scholarship on Bowen's inventiveness and unique writing
style and attachment to objects, covering topics such as queer
adolescents, housekeeping, female fetishism, habit and new
technologies such as the telephone.
