Back to the Library Also Elizabeth Bowen and Angela Thirkell are both full of JA references.

any titles, Cassia?


As with Stella Gibbons both Elizabeth Bowen and Angela Thirkell tend to refer to JA a lot. Angela Thirlkell titles include: The Duke's Daughter, Enter Sir Robert, Happy Return, The Headmistress (extremely funny). These are currently available from Penguin. Elizabeth Bowen's titles include: The Death of the Heart (a bit like Persuasion), The Hotel, The Little Girls. I think there are also Penguin editions of her work as well.

IMO, Thirkell is funnier but Bowen is a finer writer.
