About the Author
ELIZABETH BOWEN was born in Dublin in 1899, the only child of an Irish lawyer and landowner. Her book Bowen's Court (1942) is the history of her family and their house in County Cork. Throughout her life, she divided her time between London and Bowen's Court, which she inherited. She wrote many acclaimed novels and short story collections, was awarded the CBE in 1948, and was made a Companion of Literature by the Royal Society of Literature in 1965. She died in 1973.
Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"A writer of genius. . . . Bowen's very first novel shows in bud her later sophistication, relentless eye, stern judgment, sense of comedy." --London Review of Books "If there is anything to the catchphrase 'felt life, ' it is here--in Elizabeth Bowen's munificence of detail, the fine closeness of the atmosphere which she creates." --Peter Ackroyd "[Bowen] is in the first rank of the brilliant women writers." --The New York Times
