Elizabeth von Arnim's Christopher and Columbus (1919) and Mr. Skeffington (1940) -- 'One begins to see what is meant by "They lived happily ever after"': Elizabeth von Arnim's Vera (1921) and Elizabeth Taylor's Palladian (1946) -- 'One shudders to think what a less sophisticated artist would have made of it': the comedy of age in Elizabeth von Arnim's Love (1925) and Elizabeth TAylor's In a summer season (1961).Elizabeth von Arnim (1866-1941) and Elizabeth Taylor (1912-75) wrote witty and entertaining novels about the domestic lives of middle-class women. Widely read and enjoyed, their work was often dismissed as middlebrow. Brown argues that their skilful use of comedy and irony worked as devices to provide the receptive reader with a subversive commentary on the cruelties and disappointments of life. She traces the critical reception of their novels from the publication of von Arnim's <i>Christopher and Columbus</i> (1919) to Taylor's <i>In a Summer Season</i> (1961). In doing so, she demonstrates that hostility to the 'feminine middlebrow', often supposed to be at its height between the wars, in fact intensified after World War II.<br> <br> <b>Shortlisted for the ESSE Book Awards, 2014 - Literatures in the English Language (Junior Scholars)</b><br>Literary texts and the popular marketplace ;no. 3.Comedy & the Feminine Middlebrow NovelWomen in literatureMiddle class in literatureHumor in literatureHumorous stories, EnglishHistory and criticismEnglish fictionWomen authorsHistory and criticismWomen in literature.Middle class in literature.Humor in literature.Humorous stories, EnglishHistory and criticism.English fictionWomen authorsHistory and criticism.823.912099287Brown Erica1975-,1126031UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910814094003321Comedy and the feminine middlebrow novel4114643UNINA00929nam0 22002533i 450 VAN0028149920250203072050.6978-88-243-2824-120240930d2023 |0itac50 baitaIT|||| |||||ˆIl ‰diritto e il casouna riflessione sull'uso del sorteggio nel diritto pubblicoAstrid ZeiNapoliJovene2023IX, 317 p.24 cmNapoliVANL000005ZeiAstridVANV031656471743Jovene <editore>VANV107888650ITSOL20250207RICABIBLIOTECA DEL DIPARTIMENTO DI GIURISPRUDENZAIT-CE0105VAN00VAN00281499BIBLIOTECA DEL DIPARTIMENTO DI GIURISPRUDENZA00CONS XXI.Ec.288 00UBG10459 20240930 Diritto e il caso4311196UNICAMPANIA
