Title
Women in the House of Fiction: Post-War Women Novelists, by Lorna Sage
Description
'Lorna was a great admirer of the artist Paula Rego, and the cover of this book as well as that of the Cambridge Guide to Women's Writing in English both feature images requested specifically by Lorna.
She outlines her intent in the preface to her essays on women novelists: 'I've tried not to travesty the achievements of these writers by reducing them to sameness; or by making them all symbolise some amorphous 'difference'... There's no way of placing the woman novelist - or even of displacing her... However, they do have this in common: they pour back into the novel conviction, mockery and partisan passion'. '
