From the guide to the Letters from Barbara Pym to Philip Larkin, 1961-79, (University of Oxford, Bodleian Library)
Barbara Pym wrote old-fashioned English novels in settings and style reminiscent of Jane Austen; so traditional was her work that for a period in the mid-1960s, she was considered unpublishable. Her fine novels generally center on accomplished, solitary women, struggling to connect with the world around them. Her polished narrative style, droll wit, and startling insight have enriched her reputation and renewed interest in her ouvre.
