Essays by Elizabeth Bowen
EDILII)
AND INTRODUCED BY ALLAN HEPBURN
Throughout her career, Elizabeth Bowen, the Anglo-Irish novelist and
short story writer, also wrote literary essays that display a shrewd,
generous intelligence. Always sensitive to underlying tensions, she evokes
the particular climate of countries and places in Hungary, Prague and the
Crisis, and Bowen s Court. In Britain in Autumn, she records the strained
atmosphere of the blitz as no other writer does. Immediately after the war,
she reported on the International Peace Conference in Paris in a series
of essays that are startling in their evocation of tense diplomacy among
international delegates scrabbling to define the boundaries of Europe and
the stakes of the Cold War. The aftershock of war registers poignantly in
Opening Up the House : owners evacuated during the war return to their
houses empty since
1939.
Other essays in this volume, especially those on
James Joyce, Jane Austen, and the technique of writing, offer indispensable
mid-century evaluations of the state of literature.
The essays assembled in this volume were published in British, Irish, and
American periodicals during Bowen s lifetime. She herself did not gather
them into any collection. Some of these essays exist only as typescript drafts
and are published here for the first time. Bowen s observations on age, toys,
disappointment, charm, and manners place her among the very best literary
essayists of the modernist period.
Allan Hepburn is Associate Professor of English at McGill University in
Montreal. He has also edited The Bazaar and Other Stories by Elizabeth
Bowen, published by Edinburgh University Press.
