Résumé

E. F. Benson's "Make Way for Lucia" encapsulates the delightful intricacies of English society through the comedic rivalry between two formidable heroines, Lucia Lucas and Emmeline 'Mapp' Hargreaves. Spanning six novels and two short stories, this complete series is marked by Benson's keen observation and witty prose, revealing the nuances of social status, ambition, and the complexities of friendship.
Set in the idyllic yet deceptively tranquil setting of Tilling, this literary work captures the subtle power struggles and social machinations that underpin a seemingly quaint community, employing a blend of rich characterization and clever dialogue that reflects the style of early 20th-century comedy of manners. E. F. Benson, an English author, was deeply embedded in the world he portrayed, having spent many years in the affluent village life that inspired his narratives.
His experiences in a closely-knit society, coupled with his own fascination for the whimsies of human nature, compelled him to create this series. Benson's background in literature and his interest in the performative aspects of social interactions ensure that his characters are intricately drawn and engaging, providing readers with profound insights beneath the humor. This compilation is highly recommended for readers who enjoy sharp wit, vibrant character interactions, and social satire.
"Make Way for Lucia" is not merely entertainment; it is a reflection on human relationships and the societal constructs that shape them. A must-read for fans of comedic literature, this series invites readers to indulge in the delightful chaos of Tilling's social scene. In this enriched edition, we have carefully created added value for your reading experience: - A comprehensive Introduction outlines these selected works' unifying features, themes, or stylistic evolutions. - A Historical Context section situates the works in their broader era-social currents, cultural trends, and key events that underpin their creation. - A concise Synopsis (Selection) offers an accessible overview of the included texts, helping readers navigate plotlines and main ideas without revealing critical twists. - A unified Analysis examines recurring motifs and stylistic hallmarks across the collection, tying the stories together while spotlighting the different work's strengths. - Reflection questions inspire deeper contemplation of the author's overarching message, inviting readers to draw connections among different texts and relate them to modern contexts. - Lastly, our hand-picked Memorable Quotes distill pivotal lines and turning points, serving as touchstones for the collection's central themes.
