	Amazon.ca: Last September: Books: Elizabeth Bowen (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		Elizabeth Bowen's _The Last September_ is really a novel about internal self-talk and how that internal dialogue with the self is full of unarticulated desires, willful self-deceptions, and social anxieties of all sorts.
		Bowen has an incredibly penetrating knowledge of how people try to flatter themselves, read the world as revolving around themselves, and focus intently on an inner life that is completely wrong in many of its assumptions about what others think and feel.
		Bowen's book has the ring of truth-she herself was part of the Ango-Irish tradition in County Cork, and she wrote the book in 1929, when the revolution was still fresh.

	Elizabeth Bowen's "Her Table Spread": A Joycean Irish story Studies in Short Fiction - Find Articles
		One of Elizabeth Bowen's earliest published Irish short stories, "Her Table Spread" (1930), merits serious attention for two central reasons: not only is it an engrossing and rewarding work of art but it also reveals yet one more Irish fiction writer contemporary with James Joyce who was clearly influenced by him.
		Bowen's Court and the streets of Dublin are as strikingly diverse raw materials of experience as one may imagine in Ireland.
		Bowen makes it very clear throughout her story that she is criticizing not only a handful of upper-class individuals, and one in particular, but also the remnants of Ireland's formerly powerful ascendancy as a whole.

		Bowen's people are keenly aware, and she seems to catalogue every sweaty moment, every betraying glance.
		Bowen has a fine eye for such shadings of morality, but finer still is her understanding of the way humans bump up against the material world.
		Bowen is quite plainly superb in her observation of her characters and their surroundings, noting with precision tiny gestures and details that cut straight to the heart.

		Elizabeth Bowen must have felt off duty when having her picture taken.

	Elizabeth Bowen: the house, the hotel, & the child by Richard Tillinghast
		Only four years after Bowen was born, the Wyndham Act—engineered by George Wyndham, Chief Secretary of Ireland at the turn of the century—was passed, enabling landlords to sell their farms to their tenants in transactions financed by the government, with an added Bonus of 12 percent paid by the British Treasury.
		Bowen’s writings are sprinkled with delicious little moments of social comedy, and the latitude she allowed herself in using the omniscient point of view lets us see into the minds of widely incompatible characters whose thoughts are inaccessible to each other.
		Bowen to a large extent took the world as she found it, and was more interested in her characters as people—with likes and dislikes, and especially with a desperate and often frustrated need for love—than as exemplars of social class.

		Born in Dublin on June 7, 1899, Elizabeth Bowen lived in Ireland until the age of seven, when her family moved to England.
		In 1938 Bowen published her best-known and perhaps finest novel, The Death of the Heart, about an idealistic young girl whose demands for honesty and openness are met with hostility by her family.
		In her seventh novel, The Heat of the Day (1949), the society which in earlier novels was seen as inimical to romantic illusions has disappeared entirely in the chaos of war, and the protagonists float in a sea of their own confusion.

		Bowen's descriptions of the inner workings of an adolescent girl often require a second or third reading.
		This is not because her writing is dull or too enigmatic; it is because Bowen materializes the thoughts of an unconscious mind, thoughts that for some are difficult to understand because we do not realize we have them until they are before us on a white page.
		We were too young to be in awe of her, but reading or especially rereading Bowen is one of the greatest pleasures of a lifetime.

	Calls for Presentations, Papers, Publications: Collection: Elizabeth Bowen
		Aims and Intentions: Elizabeth Bowen's writing has always provoked controversy, from the publication of her first stories to her final discontinuous novel, Eva Trout.
		Yet despite the conspicuous irregularities in her fictional narratives, most of Bowen's past readers have avoided any discussion of those aspects of her work, in particular her experiments with style and language, that make her work complex and controversial.
		New readings of Bowen's fictional narratives that address the less customary and unexpected aspects of her work (and interpretations that relate those aspects to recent shifts in our thinking about modernism generally) as well as essays that address the uncertain relation between Bowen and her past and present readers are welcome.

	Placing Elizabeth Bowen In The Canon Contemporary Review - Find Articles (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		Apart from massive figures such as Auden, the forties can be a difficult period to assimilate: the troubled transition from the stern monoliths of high modernism to the diversity and experiment of the post-war period has been regularly neglected by critics looking for the grand sweep of literary history and overlooking its fascinating details.
		These are compelling questions that arise from Bowen's particular social and cultural position, and in this highly erudite monograph, Professor Corcoran addresses how the minutiae of her experience are woven into what the novelist called 'the overlapping and haunting of a life by fiction'.
		Part of Professor Corcoran's task in a study such as this is to address Bowen's reputation, to argue for some measure of greatness and an inclusion in the canon--that battered and maligned but still essential concept in literary criticism.
