Anita Brookner’s The Bay of Angels and Her Innovative Twist

Ms. B. Lakshmikantham, M.A., M.Phil., Part-Time Ph.D. Scholar

Anita Brookner

Literary Master Anita Brookner’s elegant style is manifest in every page of her brilliant novels. Born in London in 1928, she became the first woman to hold the Slade Professorship at Cambridge University in 1967. Since 1977, she has been associated with the Courtauld Institute of Art. However, since winning the Booker Prize in 1984 for Hotel du Lac, she has become better known as a novelist. Her fiction is mostly set in London, and often involves characters of Jewish extraction, like herself. Her works explore the alienation of a character, usually female, whose quiet, solitary lives are punctuated by destitution and disappointments in love. Her style has often borne her comparisons with Jane Austen and Henry James.

New Trend

The Bay of Angels (2001) marks a commencement of a new trend in the works of Brookner by introducing a satisfied, free- bird heroine at the end. The succeeding novels The Next Big Thing (2002, US title Making Things Better), The Rules of Engagement (2003), Leaving Home (2005), Strangers (2009) have a fair end too. Kate Kellaway (2008) tells that in The Bay of Angels Brookner seems determined to turn over a new leaf. She declares her unusual intention: she is to investigate happy endings.
