Beschreibung

Max Pemberton: Collected Works assembles a diverse array of narratives that deftly intertwine exploration, adventure, and the intricacies of human emotion. Written in a vivid and engaging prose style, Pemberton's works reflect the late 19th and early 20th century literary context, marked by a growing fascination with imperialism and exotic locales. His penchant for rich descriptions and intricate character development invites readers into worlds rife with excitement and ethical dilemmas, offering a panoramic view of the societal landscapes of his time. Max Pemberton, an Anglo-American author born in the 1860s, is often noted for his significant contributions to the genre of travel literature and adventure fiction.

This collection is a must-read for enthusiasts of adventure and exploration literature, as well as those interested in the complexities of human experience during a pivotal time in history.

    Edmée Elizabeth Monica Dashwood, née de la Pasture, and more commonly known as E M Delafield, was born in Steyning, Sussex on 9th June 1890.   
     
    Raised in the fading years of the Victorian era with its Empire and strict moral codes Delafield, not yet married at twenty-one, joined a French religious order, in Belgium, but soon decided that this was a totally wrong choice for her.   
     
    Her next challenge was her work during the horror of the First World War.  Delafield decided to take up a position as a nurse in a Voluntary Aid Detachment in Exeter.  It was whilst here that she managed to write her first novel, ‘Zella Sees Herself’.   
     
    With the end of the war new opportunities were sought and she now took up a position for the South-West Region of the Ministry of National Service in Bristol.  With it came enough time to write two more novels: ‘The War Workers’ (1918) and ‘The Pelicans’ (1918).   
     
    On 17th July 1919, she married Colonel Arthur Paul Dashwood, OBE, an engineer responsible for building the massive docks at Hong Kong Harbour.  The marriage produced two children; Lionel and Rosamund.  That same year her fourth novel, ‘Consequences’, was published.   
     
    The couple spent their early years in Malaya but returned to England to live in Croyle, an old house in Kentisbeare, Devon.  Delafield continued to collect responsibilities and organise whatever she could.  At the initial meeting of the Kentisbeare Women's Institute, Delafield was unanimously elected president, and also became a Justice of the Peace, raised the children and, of course, continued to write her best-selling novels.   
     
    Her greatest work is undoubtedly the largely autobiographical ‘Diary of a Provincial Lady’, which is a simply structured journal of the life of an upper-middle class Englishwoman, living mostly in a Devon village of the 1930s.  It spawned several best-selling sequels.  Her works also includes stage and radio plays, film scripts and short stories.  
     
    After the death of her son in 1940, her health began to markedly decline.    
     
    E M Delafield died on 2nd December 1943 after collapsing whilst giving a lecture in Oxford.  She was 53.
