Autor

E. M. Delafield, a pen name for Edmée Elizabeth Monica Dashwood, née de la Pasture (1890–1943), was a prolific English author best known for her largely autobiographical 'Diary of a Provincial Lady,' which remains a cherished work in the British comic literary canon. Delafield's writing career began post-World War I, and she quickly gained a reputation for her incisive wit and insightful social commentary.

Delafield's works, including her popular 'Provincial Lady' series, are celebrated for their ability to blend humor with a critique of contemporary mores, and a style that is both engaging and accessible. While the 'E. M. Delafield Premium Collection: 6 Novels in One Volume' presents a significant portion of her literary contributions, Delafield's expansive oeuvre includes over 30 novels, in addition to plays, short stories, and contributions to periodicals.
