Produktbeschreibung
The Woman Who Had Imagination, H.E. Bates´s fourth volume of stories, first published in 1934 (Jonathan Cape), is a fascinating collection of contrasts. The stories combine elements of realism and poetry, beauty and ugliness, tenderness and irony. Graham Greene, writing in the Spectator, lauded the collection as ´the first volume of Mr. Bates´s maturity´ and Bates as ´an artist of magnificent originality with a vitality quite unsuspected hitherto´.This is brilliantly demonstrated in the title story, ´The Woman Who Had Imagination´, the heart-rending story of an Italian woman, revealed through the casual meetings and conversations that take place on a day´s outing of a country choir. The contrast between ´The Waterfall´, with its melancholy and grace, and the disturbing tensions in ´The Brothers´, emphasises Bates´s mastery of both the delicate and the disquieting. It is also in this collection that we are introduced to the much-loved comic narrator, Uncle Silas, in ´The Lily´, ´The Wedding´ and ´Death of Uncle Silas.´In addition to the original collection this edition includes two extra stories. ´The Country Doctor´ concerns a woman´s grief on the death of her dearest friend. It was first published in the Fortnightly Review in 1931 with the title ´The Country Sale´, and later in the limited edition The Story Without an End and The Country Doctor (White Owl Press, 1932), and has not been reprinted since. ´The Parrot´ chronicles a man, a marriage and the eponymous parrot, and has only previously been published in 1928 in T.P.´s Weekly, founded by the radical MP, T.P. O´Connor.
