Elizabeth Bowen

Biografia

Elizabeth Bowen nacque come Elizabeth Dorothea Cole a Dublino nel 1899 e ideò il proprio nome d’arte prendendo spunto dalla casa di famiglia, Bowen’s Court, nella contea Cork.
Narratrice anglo-irlandese, la Bowen trattò in una prosa impeccabile temi come l’amore e la frustrazione amorosa analizzati in una complessa psicologia.
Elizabeth Bowen è morta a Londra nel 1973.
