Surveying her oeuvre from this point of view, the book goes on to examine systematically West's writing from 1911-1941, 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 and Grey Falcon.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41106243780705,"sku":"9781350028418","price":24.93,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_26675805.jpg?v=1721624395","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781350028418-rebecca-west","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
