Writers and their work
Content:
Penelope Fitzgerald (1916-2000) has been acclaimed as one of the finest British novelists of the late 20th century. Four of her novels were shortlisted for the Booker Prize and one of them, 'Offshore' (1979), won; her final work of historical fiction, 'The Blue Flower' (1995), won the US National Book Critics' Circle Award. Fitzgerald's works are distinguished by their acute wit, deft handling of emotional tone and an unsentimental yet deeply felt commitment to portraying the lives of those men, women and children 'who seem to have been born defeated'. Admirers have long recognised the brilliance of Fitzgerald's writing, yet the deceptive simplicity of her style invariably leads readers to ask, 'How is it done?' This text seeks to answer that question, providing a sustained exposition of Penelope Fitzgerald's compositional method.
