Rediscovering Women Writers of Wartime London

Evelina Garay Collcutt graduated with a degree in English language and literature from the University of Alicante, Spain. Following a career as a language teacher, she returned to her real passion, the study of English Literature, completing a pre-doctoral dissertation on Elizabeth Bowen’s short fiction, which focused on a spatial analysis of Bowen’s work. She subsequently received her PhD in 2018 with a doctoral thesis on 20th-century wartime literature. She has participated as an independent scholar at several international conferences such as the London Literary Society, the Elizabeth Bowen Society, and the Association of Anglo-American Studies (AEDEAN). Her academic interests include 20th-century women’s writing, spatial analysis as applied to literature, and wartime fiction, subjects which she has written about for a number of literary journals.
