The Anglo-Irish author Elizabeth Bowen (1899-1973) entered the
literary arena in the 1920s, at a time when the English novel was
flourishing and the short story beginning to be recognised as a
serious art form. Between 1927 and 1938 she published six
full-length novels; it was largely the pressures of the Second
World War that then caused eleven years to elapse before she
brought out her much acclaimed novel of wartime London, 'The Heat
of the Day' (1949). This novel, a medley of romance, spy-story and
psychological thriller, anticipated the three novels Bowen went on
to write in the 1950s and 1960s, which are all concerned with
problems of identity and communication; all deal with the passing
of time and the influence of the dead on the living, and all
demonstrate the dangers of looking into the past for a present-day
sense of security and identity. Christensen examines some aspects
of theme and strategy in the last four novels, glancing also at
Bowen's post-war stories. Brief presentations and plot summaries
are placed in the context of her life and dealt with in a separate
section.
