Project Summary
My research examines moments of departure in Elizabeth Bowen's writing, focusing on how processes of 'leaving spaces' impact the physical and psychological landscapes of her novels. In my thesis, I chart Bowen's work fairly chronologically, reading her mutable relationship to space against the rapidly shifting spaces of the twentieth century.
In this way, my project seeks to contribute to the on-going reassesment of Bowen's place within modernism and modernist spatiality.
Supervisory Team
My thesis is supervised by Professor Laura Salisbury and Dr. Beci Carver.
