Elizabeth Bowen
The Enforced Return
Elizabeth Bowen:
The Enforced Return
Elizabeth Bowen
is a writer who is still too little appreciated. Neil
Corcoran presents here a critical study of her novels, short stories, fam¬
ily history, and essays, and shows that her work both inherits from the
Modernist movement and transforms its experimental traditions.
Elizabeth Bowen: The Enforced Return explores how she adapts
Irish Protestant Gothic as a means of interpreting Irish experience dur¬
ing the Troubles of the
1920s
and the Second World War, and also as a
way of defining the defencelessness of those enduring the Blitz in
wartime London. She employs versions of the Jamesian child as a way
of offering a critique of the treatment of children in the European novel
of adultery, and indeed, implicitly, of the Jamesian child itself.
Corcoran relates the various kinds of return and reflex in her work-
notably the presence of the supernatural, but also the sense of being
haunted by reading-to both the Freudian concept of the return of the
repressed and to T. S. Eliot s conception of the auditory imagination
as a return to the origin .
Making greater interpretative use of extra-fictional materials than
previous Bowen critics (notably her wartime reports from neutral
Ireland to Churchill s government and the diaries of her wartime lover,
the Canadian diplomat Charles Ritchie), Corcoran reveals how her fic¬
tion merges personal story with public history. Employing a wealth of
original research, his radical new readings propose that Bowen is as
important as Samuel Beckett to twentieth-century literary studies-a
writer who returns us anew to the histories of both her time and ours.
