War, Nation and Europe in the Novels of Storm Jameson

Autor Dr Katherine Cooper
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 15 apr 2020
The novels of Storm Jameson and their depictions of Britain's relationship to Europe around the Second World War represent a crucial departure from the work of her contemporaries. As the first female President of English PEN, Jameson led her country's wartime literary community through turbulent times in history by focusing on European - rather than pointedly British - experiences of war.War, Nation and Europe in the Novels of Storm Jameson is a timely critique situated within the historical and theoretical contexts so fundamental to understanding her work. Presenting previously unpublished archival material that documents her work as an ambassador for British writers during a time of national upheaval, Katherine Cooper reveals how the novelist's pacifism and evolving attitudes to war and peace were underpinned by her overarching vision for the post-war world. Drawing comparisons to the works of Virginia Woolf, Arthur Koestler, Graham Greene and others, this study shows how Jameson's novels gesture towards prevalent internationalist perspectives and reshapes how we view the literary history of the period.

Recenzii

An astute and thoughtful study, focusing intelligently on the creative tension between Storm Jameson's allegiance to 'European' humanist values and her Yorkshire conservatism, and on her perception of gender politics in relation to nationalism.
