June 7, 1899

 

Elizabeth Bowen, (June 7, 1899 to February 22, 1973) was born into the Anglo-Irish class in County Cork. She was a novelist whose work reflects the intellectual world of the 1930s. Her short story, "The Cat Jumps," is about a couple who insist on buying a house which was the scene of a murder. Amidst the Freudian explanations of action, we have a suspenseful story with of course, a rational ending.
