Elizabeth von Arnim (1866-1941), born Mary Annette Beauchamp, was an Australian born British novelist. By marriage she became Gräfin (Countess) von Arnim- Schlagenthin, and by a second marriage, Countess Russell. Although known in her early life as May, "after the publication of her first book, she was known to her readers, eventually to her friends, and finally even to her family as Elizabeth. " and she is now invariably referred to as Elizabeth von Arnim. She also wrote under the pen name Alice Cholmondeley. Arnim would later refer to her domineering husband as the "Man of Wrath". Writing was her refuge from what turned out to be an incompatible marriage. Arnim's husband had increasing debts and was eventually sent to prison for fraud. This was when she created her pen name "Elizabeth" and launched her career as a writer by anonymously publishing her semi-autobiographical, brooding yet satirical Elizabeth and Her German Garden (1898). Her other titles dealing with feminist protest and witty observations of life in provincial Germany to follow were: The Princess Priscilla's Fortnight (1905) and Fraulein Schmidt and Mr. Anstruther (1907).

Comments:

Nayatol

I have long loved escaping in Elizabeth Von Arnims' writings. This book does not disappoint. What I do find offensive is the notation placed by the publisher McAllister Editions. They stated "this book is a classic and a product of its time. It does not reflect the same views on race gender, sexuality, ethnicity, and interpersonal relations as it would if it was written today."

Had they simply placed the date this volume was written, 1901, I believe that we, readers, would be able to draw our own opinions and conclusions. I know that I will not be purchasing any further books from this publisher who believes it necessary to question readers intelligence. Von Arnims' books will live on and continue to enrich our lives.

Snowskin

A young woman, who is dependent upon others for her living, suddenly inherits an estate and some money in a foreign country. She moves there determined to house 12 or so "unfortunates" to whom she will provide room and board. All is to be utopia. Her next door neighbor is, of course, rich, handsome and single. She begins by advertising for these unfortunates who are asked to submit letters telling of their problems in life. She initially selects 4 women. Well, needless to say, there are immediate "social" class issues, one who has outright lied about her background. Instead of Utopia she finds herself engulfed each day in torment trying to keep peace. Her neighbor has tried to warn her of these issues, but to no avail. He also tries to woe her as she is very beautiful. But she insists on being single managing her own affairs. I will not give away the ending, but can say it is interesting and amusing.

Love Me

I loved The Enchanted April and liked Elizabeth and her German Garden, but found this book disappointing.

Clearly satirical, this book put me in mind of a Gilbert and Sullivan operetta as I read along. That would have been satisfactory enough and might possibly have been clever, but unlike G&S, this author gave me no clever punch line at the end.

While the characters were silly and the plot was twisted, I soldiered on determined to discover the eventual fate of Anna and her Chosen. The ending was, to say the least, disappointingly thin. There is a short afterthought chapter that ties up the fates of the inspector and the vicar, but nothing is said about the women.

Mayno

I love Elizabeth Von Armin. I was on a kick where I read most of her work. This book was a delightful study of human character, naivety, and cynicism. It was so fun. She is sort of a Jane Austen transplanted to Germany.

Mightsinger

It is a nice story. It about a young lady who wishes she had money of her own and dreams of the things she would do with it. When her uncle dies and leaves her an estate in Germany she goes to live there and do what she dreamed of doing, and learns valuable lessons on the way.

Laizel

This little classic is a gem; I enjoyed it thoroughly! It had a happy ending but I wished the readers would have gotten more detail.

Deorro

This is a delightful work with well defined characters and a charming storyline involving the central character of Anna and her struggle to escape from the shackles of convention. Her evolution into a woman of her own own making is a concept beautifully presented and is von Armin at her best.

Elizabeth Von Arnim is quite simply one of the best, if not the best writer of the last century. It is hard to have a least favorite among her works, but this is indeed my least favorite, but I've read it twice anyhow because I loved it for all the wit and wonderful use of language that she so excels at.
