Sites about Persons ; au Secondary Texts ; q62 Dame Ivy Compton-Burnett (1884-1969) was an English novelist. Compton-Burnett's fiction deals with domestic situations in large households which, to all intents and purposes, invariably seem Edwardian. This website mainly focuses on the influences of a troubled life upon the novelist's writing and compares her favourably with Virginia Woolf, whom the author of this side considers inferior to Compton-Burnett. The site offers a detailed biography on Burnett's life, a list of her novels with suggestions for critical reading, Overall this website is a good starting point to introduce this lesser known novelist.
