Book excerpt: Points out how British novelist Pym (1913-80) parodied the conventions of romance novels by deflating characters, hyperbole, and exaggeration, or emphasizing meticulously the mundane elements of everyday life.

Book Synopsis Reading Barbara Pym by : Deborah Donato

Download or read book Reading Barbara Pym written by Deborah Donato. This book was released on 2005. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reading Barbara Pym stakes out new territory in Pym criticism byquestioning the assumptions and predispositions by which her novelshave been received and judged. Early in Pym's career, reviews of hernovels likened her books in relaxed fashion to delicious tastes andsmells. Later (when mention of her twice in a TLS survey as one of thecentury's ten most underrated novelists secured and altered her criticalreception), and since her death in 1980, commentary in oppositelyvigilant fashion discovered in Pym's novels academic themes andgender/political issues ripe for exploration. But the traditional concernsof academic and popular criticism have sidestepped the morechallenging task of locating the power and quality of Pym's narrative, the reasons her novels are important to read personally as well asstudy academically

Book Synopsis The Rhetoric of Women’s Humour in Barbara Pym’s Fiction by : Naghmeh Varghaiyan

Download or read book The Rhetoric of Women’s Humour in Barbara Pym’s Fiction written by Naghmeh Varghaiyan. This book was released on 2021-04-20. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this study of three of Barbara Pym’s novels, Naghmeh Varghaiyan, drawing on examinations of women’s humour by Eileen Gillooly, Regina Barreca, and others, shows how the humorous female discourse in Some Tame Gazelle, Excellent Women, and Jane and Prudence undermines patriarchal culture and subverts both female and male stereotypes such as that of the spinster and of the Byronic hero. Varghaiyan reveals how the rhetoric of women’s humour enables Pym’s female characters to survive in the patriarchal culture and to unsettle it.
