Summary:

Ellman investigates connections between Bowen's life and writing; her conflicts and complicities with other Irish, British, and European writers; her peculiar take on gender and sexuality; her hallucinatory treatment of objects, particularly furniture and telephones; and the surprising ways in which her writing pre-empts and in some cases confounds the literary theories brought to bear upon it.
