Surveying her oeuvre from this point of view, the book goes on to examine systematically West's writing from 1911-1941, including her early journalism and criticism, such novels as \u003ci\u003eThe Return of the Soldier\u003c\/i\u003e and her controversial multi-genre epic \u003ci\u003eBlack Lamb and Grey Falcon.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eLaura Cowan\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor of English Literature at the University of Maine, USA.
