Diary of a Provincial Lady
E. M. Delafield
Biography & Memoir
James Mustich
Aug 1, 2018
E. M. Delafield’s Provincial Lady first appeared in 1930. Her first Diary would be followed by three more in the course of the next decade. These charming volumes proved immediately and enduringly popular, and Delafield’s creation is today seen, in her deceptively casual chronicling of her domestic activities, as a style-setter for later writers who deployed aspects of her mode of self-address in both journalism and fiction. Readers seeking astute yet gentle social satire at its British best will be richly rewarded by acquaintance with Delafield’s wonderful Provincial Lady.
