Enid Bagnold Criticism (1097 words)
The central character of [Enid Bagnold's The Loved and Envied] is Lady Ruby Maclean, a beautiful, rich, 33-year-old Parisian socialite, who "for a quarter of a century has been more fun than anyone else," and who is now making the transition from that quarter of a century to the next.
Enid Bagnold is "the lady of quality" who once wrote a novel from which S. Behrman wrote a drama of quality, "Serena Blandish." It was warmly admired by a few people in 1929.
Miss Bagnold has still the same almost uncanny perceptiveness for the things of sight and sound, smell and touch, the same cold desire for experience, the same objective aloofness.
