EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, two distinguished British writers, Edmee Elizabeth Monica Dashwood, better known as E.M. Delafield, and Lorna Lewis, gracefully pose amongst an elegant gathering at the Viscountess Rhondda's Literary Rout in Bloomsbury, London, during the 1930s. The image, taken in the heart of the thirties, captures the essence of the literary scene in England during this period. E.M. Delafield (1890-1943) was a prolific English author, renowned for her wit and insightful commentary on the social mores of her time. Her most famous works include "The Diary of a Provincial Lady" and "The Provincial Lady Goes Forth," which offered humorous and astute observations of the lives of middle-class women in interwar England. Lorna Lewis (?-1962), also a British writer, was known for her novels and short stories that explored the complexities of human relationships. Her works, such as "The Hidden Stream," "The Dark Stranger," and "The Wandering Years," delved into the emotional depths of her characters, making her a respected figure in the literary world. The Viscountess Rhondda's Literary Rout was an exclusive evening event that brought together some of the most prominent writers and intellectuals of the time. The gathering, held in the fashionable district of Bloomsbury, London, provided an opportunity for these literary luminaries to engage in stimulating conversations, exchange ideas, and foster connections within the literary community. This photograph is a testament to the vibrant literary culture of the 1930s and the enduring influence of these two remarkable women on the literary landscape of their time. Their presence at the Viscountess Rhondda's Literary Rout underscores their significance as influential figures in the literary world and their commitment to the pursuit of knowledge and creativity.
