The Subversion of Romance in the Novels of Barbara Pym

Romance can be delicious, or it can leave a bitter taste in your mouth.  And, what to wear through the dramatic scenes that must needs leave our emotions in tatters, but leave us looking like well-groomed, well-styled fashion plates!  The Subversion of Romance in the Novels of Barbara Pym answers those questions and more, in a critical, sometimes tongue in cheek study of Pym's novels and how themes of heroes, heroines, food, and clothing are treated in her work.  Read the book, and find the answer to the most important question of all, "where are the trollies of yesteryear . . . . . . ."Available from The University of Wisconsin Press.
