The Bookshop, The Gate Of Angels And The Blue Flower, Hardback Book

The Bookshop, The Gate Of Angels And The Blue Flower Hardback

Part of the Everyman's Library CLASSICS series

Hardback

Description

Penelope Fitzgerald, who died in 2000, emerged late in life as one of the most remarkable English writers of the last century.

The three novels in this volume all display her characteristic wit, intellectual breadth and narrative brilliance, applied to the different traditional forms into which she breathed new life.

The Bookshop is a contemporary comedy of manners, set in a provincial town.

InThe Gate of Angels romance is combined with the novel of ideas; while The Blue Flower revitalizes historical drama in a study of the eighteenth-century German writer Novalis.

Fitzgerald being the genius of the relevant detail and the deftly sketched conceptual context, each book conjures up a different world in a few vivid pages which remain etched on the memory.
