The life of Betty Trask (1893 - 1983): fiction, fame, and Frome

    Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

    Abstract

    This piece ponders the many paradoxes that attach to the Frome author Betty Trask: a purveyor of middlebrow romances who pitches her tent in the territory of both Elizabeth Gaskell and Virginia Woolf; a writer who went global, at the hands of Mario Vargas Llosa, by virtue of being incorrigibly provincial.
