More about the book
The book explores the often-maligned concept of "middlebrow" literature, particularly focusing on the contributions of female authors like Rosamund Lehmann and Nancy Mitford. It argues that these writers not only shaped new class and gender identities during a transformative era but also challenged societal norms. By reassessing the significance of feminine middlebrow novels, the author seeks to elevate their status and highlight their cultural impact amidst the shifting dynamics of the 20th century.
