Résumé

The "Collected Works of E. M. Delafield: The Complete Provincial Lady Series, 15 Novels, Short Story Collections & Plays (Illustrated)" offers an expansive and intimate glimpse into the life of a woman navigating British society in the early 20th century. Delafield's signature wit and sharp observation are prominent throughout her writing, characterized by a humorous yet poignant approach to everyday life, social mores, and domesticity.
The Provincial Lady series, originally published in serialized form, captures the nuances of suburban life with a blend of realism and a touch of romance, underscoring the struggles and triumphs of a middle-class woman in a rapidly changing world. This comprehensive collection, enhanced with illustrations, celebrates Delafield's legacy while reinforcing the significance of women's voices in literature during a pivotal era of social change.
E. M. Delafield, born Edm?©e Elizabeth Monica de la Pasture, was a keen observer of her milieu, shaped by her upbringing in a genteel family and her own experiences as a mother and a writer. Her background and education, particularly at Oxford, fueled her critical insights and encouraged her to address the complexities of women's lives, which she skillfully wove into both her fiction and her earnest essays.
The Provincial Lady character embodies her own struggles, offering readers a relatable and profoundly human perspective on the societal expectations placed on women during her time. This collection is highly recommended for readers seeking both entertainment and enlightenment through Delafield's unique lens. Whether one is familiar with her work or discovering it for the first time, the Provincial Lady series invites reflection on the past while resonating with contemporary themes of identity, aspiration, and the everyday joys and challenges of life.
Delafield's sharp humor and insightful commentary make this a must-read for lovers of classic literature and fans of women's writings.
