327   $aThe middlebrow and comedy: Elizabeth Taylor and Elizabeth von Arnim's cultural and literary context -- A comedic 'response' to war? 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).
330   $aElizabeth 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>
