Sinossi

In "An Interrupted Night," Pansy crafts a compelling narrative that intertwines themes of personal conflict and societal expectation, set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing early 20th-century America. The novella employs a richly descriptive literary style that evokes a sense of intimate realism, drawing readers into the emotional landscapes of its characters. Pansy's adept use of dialogue and introspection allows for an intricate exploration of the complexities of love and the impact of unforeseen circumstances, challenging the conventions of her time and illuminating the human experience with profound sensitivity. Pansy, a prominent yet often overlooked figure in American literature, was an author whose own life experiences significantly informed her writing. Born as a member of the conservative establishment and later influenced by progressive social movements, she explored themes of women's agency and moral dilemmas in her works. Pansy's unique perspective on the tumultuous societal changes of her era compelled her to craft stories that resonate with authenticity and empathy, ensuring her place in the literary canon. Readers who appreciate nuanced character development and incisive social commentary will find "An Interrupted Night" to be a rewarding and thought-provoking read. Pansy invites us to reflect on our own lives and the interruptions that shape our paths, making this novella a timeless exploration of love, choice, and the unexpected nature of fate.

The Unbearable Bassington

Anonimo

First published in 1912, The Unbearable Bassington stands as Saki’s most substantial venture into longer fiction, and perhaps his most poignant. Known primarily for his razor-edged short stories—where wit, mischief, and a certain cool cruelty dance in quick succession—Saki (H. H. Munro) brings those same gifts to this novel, but with a deeper, darker resonance.
 
At the centre of the story is Comus Bassington: charming, feckless, brilliant, and disastrously ill-suited to the demands of the polite Edwardian world that surrounds him. His mother, the formidable Francesca, hopes to guide him toward a respectable life, but her ambitions collide with his temperament at every turn. What begins as social comedy gradually shades into tragedy, revealing Saki’s acute understanding of human frailty—and his sense that society’s expectations can crush as easily as they refine.

E M Delafield

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.
