About the book

E. M. Delafield's «Collected Works of E. M. Delafield (Illustrated)» presents a curated anthology of her most significant writings, characterized by a sharp satirical lens and a keen observation of the societal norms of her time. Delafield, best known for her novel «Diary of a Provincial Lady,» employs her trademark wit and introspective narrative style to explore the intricacies of domestic life, gender roles, and the social landscape of early 20th-century England. Richly illustrated, this collection not only enhances the reader's experience but also contextualizes her work within the broader literary movements of the period, reflecting the tension between modernity and traditional values. E. M. Delafield, whose real name was Edmée Elizabeth Monica de la Pasture, was born in 1890 in the West Midlands of England. Her upbringing in a literary family and her experiences as a governess and a writer shaped her perspectives on class and gender, which are central themes in her works. The prolific writer produced a diverse array of novels, essays, and articles, becoming a respected voice in the literary canon. Delafield's profound insights into the lives of women and the nuances of everyday life render her an important figure, often overlooked in favor of her contemporaries. This illustrated collection is a treasure for literary enthusiasts and scholars alike, offering an invaluable opportunity to explore Delafield's unique narrative style and social commentary. Readers seeking to understand the complexities of early feminist literature will find Delafield's works both enlightening and engaging, making this collection an essential addition to any library.
