Beschreibung
The first full scholarly appraisal of the distinctive British avant-garde writer, Ann Quin Ann Quin's innovative, versatile oeuvre made a vital contribution to 1960s and 70s British experimental writing. While contemporaries praised her vivid and energetic prose, a sustained and in-depth study of Quin has so far been absent from scholarly re-assessment of this literary era. As the first comprehensive appraisal of her writing and life, this study redresses that critical neglect, recuperates Quin as a key female experimental writer of the twentieth century, shows how the precarious possibility of her writing is its essential attribute, and demonstrates the lasting importance of her work. Its convincing combination of scholarly analysis and archival expertise conveys precisely what is striking and significant about Quin. Nonia Williams is a Lecturer in Modern and Contemporary Literature at the University of East Anglia. Recent publications include '(Re)turning to Quin: An Introduction' (2022) and British Avant-Garde Fiction of the 1960s (EUP, 2019).
