We published ‘The House at Hove’, a short story by Diana Gardner, in the Persephone Quarterly no. 22. It was widely admired and so we decided to bring out a selection of Diana Gardner’s other stories. She had published a collection in 1946, called Halfway Down the Cliff, but we have chosen to make a new selection, to omit some stories and to add one that has not been published before; and we decided to use this as the title story for The Woman Novelist and Other Stories because its theme is so appropriate to Persephone Books.
There are fourteen other stories in our collection, all extremely varied but all sharing a sharp, sardonic quality characteristic of Diana Gardner’s work. This sharpness may be the reason why she found it so difficult to get her stories accepted, something that was happening to the novelist Elizabeth Taylor at exactly the same period for the same reason: all the literary magazines then publishing short stories were edited by men, and they had definite and unrepentant ideas about both the subjects and tone that women should choose. But Diana always eschewed the obviously feminine. Several of the stories in The Woman Novelist are about women behaving badly, and many of them are uncomfortable reading; all are acutely observant.
