This article discusses an unpublished book by the popular and prolific novelist Pamela Frankau (1908-67), which was rejected by her publishers in 1946 as "almost too personal for publication," and which for many years was believed lost. The work is addressed to Frankau's dead lover, Marjorie Vernon Whitefoord (1907-44), a fellow officer in the women's Auxiliary Territorial Service, and takes the form of a letter to Vernon. The article examines what Frankau's unpublished narrative of love and loss in wartime reveals about her life and later novels, and its implications for the official record of her life and writing.
本文讨论了广受欢迎且多产的小说家帕梅拉·弗兰考(1908 - 1967)的一本未出版书籍。该书于1946年被出版商拒绝,理由是“几乎过于私密,不适合出版”,并且多年来一直被认为已遗失。这部作品是写给弗兰考已故的恋人玛乔丽·弗农·怀特富德(1907 - 1944)的,她是妇女辅助领土服务队的一名同事,采用了给弗农写信的形式。本文探讨了弗兰考未出版的战时爱情与失落叙事揭示了她的生活及后期小说的哪些内容,以及其对她生活与写作官方记录的影响。
