Surveying her oeuvre from this point of view, the book goes on to systematically examine West's writing from 1911-41, including her early journalism and criticism, such novels as \u003ci\u003eThe Return of the Soldier\u003c\/i\u003e and her controversial multi-genre epic \u003ci\u003eBlack Lamb\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eand\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eGrey Falcon\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Laura Cowan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 144114417X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781441144171\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/16\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.03lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.50d","brand":"Laura Cowan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47579736408319,"sku":"9781441144171","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_eae33eec-068d-4228-a42a-28fa6aac43a1.jpg?v=1763876292","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rebecca-wests-subversive-use-of-laura-cowan-9781441144171","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
