Nigdy więcej jutra? Mollie Panter-Downes, przyszłość i kanoniczność
No More Tomorrows? Mollie Panter-Downes, the Future, and Canonicity

Summary/Abstract: At the end of Mollie Panter-Downes’s novel One Fine Day (1947), Laura the protagonist runs down a hill in the evening to meet the next day. The reader never learns of her tomorrow. In this paper, I consider how the notion of an unrealized tomorrow recurs throughout Panter-Downes’s fiction and non-fiction. I also consider how her status today as a non-canonical writer – one without tomorrows – is shared by a group of women writers from the mid-twentieth century: Sybille Bedford, Mary Renault, Bryher, Betty Miller, and Sylvia Townsend Warner.
