Spanish Portrait de Elizabeth Lake

Spanish Portrait

Autor Elizabeth Lake
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 2019
Set principally in San Sebasti n and Madrid between 1934 and 1936, this brutally honest, semi-autobiographical novel portrays a frantic love affair against the backdrop of confusion and apprehension that characterized the "bienio negro", as Spain drifted inexorably towards civil war. It was described by Elizabeth Bowen as, "A remarkable first novel revealing] a remorseless interest in emotional truth." Elizabeth Lake was the pen-name adopted by Inez Pearn, a girl from a working-class background who won a scholarship to Oxford in the early 1930s and later joined the campaign for Britain to provide support for the Spanish Republic. She went on to produce five novels. This edition of Spanish Portrait includes an afterword by her daughter, Vicky Randall.

Notă biografică

Elizabeth Lake was the pen-name adopted by Inez Pearn, a girl from a working-class background who won a scholarship to Oxford in the 1930s to study Spanish literature. She was active in the campaign for Britain to support the Spanish Republic and was later involved in the Mass Observation movement. She wrote five novels. Along the way she mixed with a host of contemporary artists and intellectuals, including Marghanita Laski, Sally Graves, Phillip Toynbee, A J Ayer, the Bauhaus photographer Lucia Moholy and the painter Sir William Coldstream, whose portrait of her is held in the Tate Britain. She was briefly married to Stephen Spender and subsequently, more enduringly, to the poet and sociologist Charles Madge.
