Elizabeth Bowen: A Critical Study This study provides a concise and up-to-date account of Elizabeth Bowen's work, set against the turbulent historical, political, and social contexts in which she lived and wrote. Heather Ingman explores Bowen's novels and short stories, as well as her essays, reviews, interviews, and broadcasts, to reveal the range and diversity of her oeuvre. Bowen is widely regarded as one of the foremost short story writers of the twentieth century, and recent scholarship has shed new light on her work, moving beyond traditional categorisations to highlight its complexity and nuance. This study focuses on Bowen's Irish background, using recent research to explore the complexities of her Anglo-Irish identity and its significance in her writing. Through a diverse range of theoretical approaches, this book aims to capture the richness and diversity of Bowen's fiction, while also highlighting current gaps in our knowledge of her work.
