In the first book-length treatment of Elizabeth von Arnims fiction, Isobel Maddison examines her work in its historical and intellectual contexts, demonstrating that von Arnims fine comic writing and complex and compelling narrative style reward close analysis. Organised chronologically and thematically, Maddisons book is informed by unpublished material from the British and Huntington Libraries, including correspondence between von Arnim, her publishers and prominent contemporaries such as H.G. Wells, Bertrand Russell and her cousin Katherine Mansfield -- whose early modernist prose is seen as indebted to von Arnims earlier literary influence. Maddisons exploration of the novelists critical reception is situated within recent discussions of the middlebrow and establishes von Arnim as a serious author among her intellectual milieu, countering the misinformed belief that the author of such novels as Elizabeth and Her German Garden, The Caravaners, The Pastors Wife and Vera wrote light-hearted fiction removed from gritty reality. On the contrary, various strands of socialist thought and von Arnims wider political beliefs establish her as a significant author of British anti-invasion literature while weighty social issues underpin much of her later writing.
