| Summary |
Dorothy Edwards is the first full-length critical literary study of this enigmatic author, born in the small mining valley of Ogmore Vale in 1903. Combining close textual analysis with comprehensive biography, this book brings to light previously unpublished material, and considers Edwards' work in the light of her views and experiences. Claire Flay argues that Edwards' upbringing deeply influenced her perception of gender, class, and nationality, and ultimately led her to that creation of a small but fascinating body of work in her 1927 short-story collection Rhapsody and 1928 novel Winter So |
