Download or read book Thank Heaven Fasting written by E. M. Delafield and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2011-09-28 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "She could never, looking backwards, remember a time when she had not known that a woman's failure or success in life depended entirely upon whether or not she succeeded in getting a husband" When in the company of a young man a dutiful daughter should immediately assume an air of fresh, sparkling enjoyment. She should not speak of "being friends" with him-a young man is either eligible or he is not-and never, but never, should she get herself talked about, for a young girl who does so is doomed. "Men may dance with her, or flirt with her, but they don't propose." It would be quite a coup for a girl to find a husband during her first season, but if, God forbid, three seasons pass without success, she must join the ranks of those sad women who are a great embarrassment to society and, above all, to their disappointed mothers . . . With such thoughts in mind, how can Monica fail to look forward to her first ball?

Book Synopsis The Provincial Lady Series - All 5 Novels in One Edition (Complete Edition) by : E. M. Delafield
Download or read book The Provincial Lady Series - All 5 Novels in One Edition (Complete Edition) written by E. M. Delafield and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2023-11-28 with total page 557 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: E. M. Delafield's 'The Provincial Lady Series' is a quintessential portrayal of the life of an English middle-class woman in the early 20th century. Written in the form of a diary, the series consists of five novels that elegantly capture the challenges, humor, and social norms of the time. Delafield's witty and satirical style, combined with her sharp observations of the minutiae of daily life, make these novels both entertaining and insightful. The series stands as a valuable piece of literature that offers a window into the domestic and social dynamics of the era. Readers will find themselves engrossed in the Provincial Lady's world, laughing at her mishaps and sympathizing with her frustrations. E. M. Delafield, herself a middle-class woman living in England during the early 20th century, drew inspiration from her own experiences to create this beloved series. Her keen insight into the social conventions and gender roles of the time adds depth and authenticity to the Provincial Lady's narrative. I highly recommend 'The Provincial Lady Series' to readers interested in classic literature, women's writing, and social history. Delafield's skillful storytelling and perceptive commentary make this collection a must-read for anyone looking to explore the nuances of everyday life in the early 20th century.

Book Synopsis Women, Celebrity, and Literary Culture between the Wars by : Faye Hammill
Download or read book Women, Celebrity, and Literary Culture between the Wars written by Faye Hammill and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2009-12-03 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As mass media burgeoned in the years between the first and second world wars, so did another phenomenon—celebrity. Beginning in Hollywood with the studio-orchestrated transformation of uncredited actors into brand-name stars, celebrity also spread to writers, whose personal appearances and private lives came to fascinate readers as much as their work. Women, Celebrity, and Literary Culture between the Wars profiles seven American, Canadian, and British women writers—Dorothy Parker, Anita Loos, Mae West, L. M. Montgomery, Margaret Kennedy, Stella Gibbons, and E. M. Delafield—who achieved literary celebrity in the 1920s and 1930s and whose work remains popular even today. Faye Hammill investigates how the fame and commercial success of these writers—as well as their gender—affected the literary reception of their work. She explores how women writers sought to fashion their own celebrity images through various kinds of public performance and how the media appropriated these writers for particular cultural discourses. She also reassesses the relationship between celebrity culture and literary culture, demonstrating how the commercial success of these writers caused literary elites to denigrate their writing as "middlebrow," despite the fact that their work often challenged middle-class ideals of marriage, home, and family and complicated class categories and lines of social discrimination. The first comparative study of North American and British literary celebrity, Women, Celebrity, and Literary Culture between the Wars offers a nuanced appreciation of the middlebrow in relation to modernism and popular culture.
