I. COMPTON-BURNETT
A brilliant and s-ubtle comedy
of manners by a unique writer
ELIZABETH BowEN: "Her characters are larger
than life-size, and superhumanly articulate. Irrespective of age and
class, they express themselves with devastating lucidity."
PHILIPTOYNBEE: ·"Miss Ivy. Compton-Burnett
is totally unlike any other novelist. Wit and melodrama have never
been so combined before..•• She is a unique figore in modern
English literature.•.."
RosAMOND LEHMANN, in
Tbe Spectator:
"Miss
Compton-Burnett is probably the purest and most original of con–
temporary English 'artists."
PHYLLIS BENTLEY: "The fiction of Ivy Comp–
ton-Burnett is unique in style and content.... She pierces the very
core of human motive with a searing irony."
STORM jAMESON: "Like her or dislike her ...
she is, among English novelists, the one who is purely herself, an
original-if you like, a sport-but not to be ignored."
