Description
The Complete Mapp and Lucia by E. F. Benson In this witty and insightful comedy, Lucia and Mapp are two of the most iconic characters in English literature. Lucia, a self-proclaimed queen, rules over her fictional kingdom with an iron fist, while Mapp seethes with chronic rage and curiosity from her window perch. Benson's satire of salon society and the fads of the 1920s is both biting and hilarious, as he expertly transmutes their frustrations into a series of small humiliations. With an introduction and notes by Dr Keith Carabine, this edition offers a unique perspective on Benson's work. Carabine shows that the books are excruciatingly funny because Benson invites the reader to view the world through the self-deluded fabrications and day-dreams of his characters. This edition features 640 pages of the complete Mapp and Lucia series, making it a must-have for anyone interested in English literature and comedy.
