Prancing Ovelist : in Praise of Ronald Firbank, Paperback / softback Book

Prancing Ovelist : in Praise of Ronald Firbank Paperback / softback

Part of the Scholarly Series series

Paperback / softback

Out of stock

Description

One of the most penetrating and sympathetic explorations ever undertaken by one writer into the mind of another, Prancing Novelist is far more than a simple tribute or work of research.

In these pages--by turns instructive, mischievous, and even gossipy--Brigid Brophy seeks nothing less than a vindication of the eternal liveliness of fiction itself against the persistent rumors that it is dying or dead.

Though serious in intent, Prancing Novelist is not only a monument to Firbank, but is also a delightful showcase for Brophy's own uproarious prose, not to mention her genius for telling good stories.
