"Stunning literary non-fiction from Wales writer in residence and winner of a 2008 Pushcart Prize...
Felicity and Barbara Pym is a cross-genre (fiction & non-fiction) literary work that has its roots in Harrison Solow’s own search as an undergraduate for “ a magnificently unified microcosm” of the world. Felicity is the silent fictional student with a “happy disregard” for centuries of interrelated scholarship intrinsic to a liberal arts education, including a disregard for the tools of study and a blithe preoccupation with the present. As Harrison Solow says, Barbara Pym’s work is hardly at the heart of a liberal education, but she is the antithesis to this prevailing attitude and her work has been undervalued. Appreciation is not perhaps what universities requests of students, says Solow, but this book is a work of literary appreciation via reasonable examination based on the premise that all subjects are interrelated.
Harrison Solow is published by major publishing houses, university presses, magazines and journals, in America, Wales, Canada and England. Writer in Residence for the University of Wales, Lampeter in 2008, Harrison was also the Director of The Saint David’s Institute for Wales in the World, an international intercultural and academic organisation, as well as a lecturer in English and American Literature and Writing (fiction and non-fiction) from 2004-2008. She won a prestigious Pushcart Prize for Literary Non-Fiction in 2008. Her poetry and short fiction have also won several awards. "
