- Résumé : Lolly Willowes by Sylvia Townsend Warner is an emblematic English novel of modern literature, first published in 1926. The story follows Laura Willowes, a gentle and unassuming woman who decides to break free from the expectations of her family and society. After spending years in London serving her relatives, Laura, known as Lolly, chooses to leave the city and settle in a rural English village, where she gradually discovers new freedom and an unexpected identity. The novel explores themes of feminism, independence, and female rebellion with subtlety and depth, tracing the journey of a woman who refuses to conform to traditional roles. Lolly Willowes, in search of herself, slowly reveals herself as a witch, symbolizing freedom, reinvention, and modernity. Sylvia Townsend Warner offers a nuanced reflection on solitude, society, and the place of women, blending realism with elements of fantasy. This book appeals to readers interested in the English novel, modern literature, or gender issues. It provides an original and poetic vision of female freedom, while fitting naturally into the genres of gothic and fantasy fiction. Book categories such as English novel, feminist literature, and gothic novel are subtly highlighted in this essential work.
