Content:
Isobel Maddison examines Elizabeth von Arnim's writing in its historical and intellectual contexts, establishing her early work as a significant contribution to British anti-invasion literature and her later writing to the weighty political issues of the day. Considered a serious, and satiric, author during her own time, von Arnim emerges here as a writer whose fine writing and complex and compelling narrative style reward close analysis.
