Produktbeschreibung

This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a 'fresh and newly' reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work. We believe that this work holds historical, cultural and/or intellectual importance in the literary works community, therefore despite the oddities, we accounted the work for print as a part of our continuing effort towards preservation of literary work and our contribution towards the development of the society as a whole, driven by our beliefs. We are grateful to our readers for putting their faith in us and accepting our imperfections with regard to preservation of the historical content. HAPPY READING!

Autorenporträt

E. M. Delafield, born Edmée Elizabeth Monica de la Pasture in 1890, was a prolific English author best known for her sharp wit and keen observations of British middle-class life. Raised in an aristocratic family, Delafield's early life exposed her to the societal expectations and constraints that would later become central themes in her work. She began her literary career after serving as a Voluntary Aid Detachment nurse during World War I, an experience that deeply influenced her perspective on women's roles and societal norms. Delafield gained widespread recognition with her popular Diary of a Provincial Lady series, which humorously chronicled the everyday life of a middle-class housewife in 1930s England. Her writing, often laced with subtle satire, was both reflective of and critical toward the conventions of her time. She tackled issues such as gender roles, class, and the emotional and psychological challenges faced by women trapped in societal expectations, as seen in works like Consequences. Throughout her career, Delafield authored numerous novels, plays, and essays, solidifying her reputation as a prominent voice in early 20th-century literature. Her work remains celebrated for its blend of humor, insight, and social commentary. She passed away in 1943, leaving behind a rich literary legacy.
