Produktbeschreibung
In "The Provincial Lady Goes Further," E. M. Delafield delivers an engaging and humorous continuation of her iconic protagonist's journey through life in early 20th-century England. Written in an epistolary format, the narrative captures the nuanced trials and tribulations of a middle-class woman grappling with societal expectations, family obligations, and the quest for self-identity. Delafield's keen observational wit and sharp social critique offer a rich tapestry of domestic life and its inherent absurdities, all while exploring themes of independence and personal growth against the backdrop of a rapidly changing society. E. M. Delafield, born Edmée Elizabeth Monica de la Pasture, was a multi-talented writer whose experiences in a middle-class family and her role as a wife and mother influenced her exploration of women's lives in her work. Her background in literature and journalism, coupled with a keen insight into human psychology, allowed her to illuminate the complex interplay of humor and despair that defines the provincial experience. Delafield's contributions to feminist literature became more significant as she skillfully addressed issues of gender and class dynamics in her era. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in feminist literature and the evolution of the modern novel. Delafield's blend of wit and wisdom makes "The Provincial Lady Goes Further" not only an entertaining read but also a reflective commentary on the struggles faced by women in the 1920s. It invites readers to contemplate the universal quest for agency and authenticity, making it a timeless exploration of the female experience.

Autorenporträt
E. M. Delafield, born Edmée Elizabeth Monica Dashwood (née de la Pasture) on June 9, 1890, was a prolific English author known for her wryly entertaining depictions of domestic life and social mores. Educated in convent schools in England, Delafield began her writing career with a serious novel, 'Zella Sees Herself,' in 1917. Despite this early start, it was her semi-autobiographical 'Diary of a Provincial Lady' series, beginning in 1930, that brought her widespread acclaim. Her most famous work, 'The Diary of a Provincial Lady,' and its sequels, including 'The Provincial Lady Goes Further,' use a sharp, self-deprecating humor to echo the struggles and satisfactions of middle-class life, cementing Delafield's place in the literary canon of the interwar period. Known for her incisive satire and keen observation of class and gender dynamics, Delafield wrote over 30 books, including novels, short story collections, and plays. Her literary style is characterized by a distinctive voice that combines wit with a keen sense of the social fabric of her times, offering insights into the lives of women negotiating the demands of family, society, and their own aspirations. She continued to write until her death on December 2, 1943, leaving behind a legacy of work that remains beloved for its insightfulness, humor, and resonance with audiences worldwide. Delafield's contributions to literature reflect the enduring appeal of domestic narratives and the exploration of the individual amidst societal expectations.
