Produktinformationen zu „Living Alone (ePub)“
Stella Benson's novel 'Living Alone' is a captivating exploration of solitude and independence in a world of social norms and expectations. Set in the early 20th century, the book follows the story of Isabella, a fiercely independent woman who chooses to live alone in a society that values marriage and companionship. Benson's writing style is both whimsical and thought-provoking, blending elements of humor and introspection to create a moving narrative that challenges traditional notions of happiness and fulfillment. The novel's emphasis on self-discovery and personal freedom reflects the growing feminist movement of the time, making it a significant work in the literary context of early 20th-century women's literature. Stella Benson's own experiences as a suffragette and outspoken advocate for women's rights undoubtedly influenced her creation of a protagonist who defies societal expectations and embraces her autonomy. 'Living Alone' is a must-read for anyone interested in feminist literature, social commentary, or simply enjoys a well-crafted and engaging story that delves into the complexities of human nature.
Autoren-Porträt von Stella Benson
Stella Benson (1892-1933) was an English novelist, poet, and travel writer known for her distinctive narrative style and themes of feminism and social justice. Born into a well-to-do family, Stella struggled with health issues throughout her life, which often influenced her literary works. She achieved significant acclaim with her novel 'Living Alone' (1919), a fantasy that reflects her wartime experiences and critiques contemporary society through its depiction of a witch who finds solace in a magical, hidden refuge away from the realities of World War I. Benson's storytelling weaves together wit and whimsy with incisive social observation, creating a unique, almost idiosyncratic voice in early 20th-century literature. Her travels, especially to Asia, brought further depth to her writing, infusing it with insights gleaned from her exposure to different cultures. A proponent of women's independence and an advocate for social change, Stella Benson's works provide a window into the struggles and aspirations of women during a transformative period in history. Her contributions to the literary world continued with several other novels, short stories, and poems until her untimely death at the age of 41, leaving behind a legacy as a pioneering figure in feminist literature.
