Review: This is a well written and engaging book. I journeyed with Florence (the main character) throughout her efforts. And I hated it. But here’s why... the people in the book are largely awful, the main character clueless and naive, the townspeople mostly despicable in character... and it’s just too much like real life!! No happy endings here!! So sad!!...

ORCID Numarası ORCID Numbers: 0000-0002-2992-8035 Abstract The aim of the present paper is to reveal how Penelope Fitzgerald (1916-2000), the well-known English writer, employs defamiliarization device in her second novel The Bookshop (1978). Penelope Fitzgerald is mainly known for her distinctive and elegant style, called by many critics the “quiet genius” of the late twentieth-century English fiction. She can also be called the master of the uncanny, or ostranenie (making it strange), as the Russian formalist Viktor Shklovsky defined it. Penelope Fitzgerald brings quite new and original interpretations to the familiar concepts like morality, courage, kindness, help and hope. Through the literary concept of defamiliarization, the reader gains a new awareness of these issues. In her novels, essays, reviews and letters, she surprises the reader by defamiliarizing these well-known notions, loading them with new meaning and surprising the reader with the newly discovered truths which had always been there unnoticed by readers.

  • Isabel Coixet
    Written & directed by ISABEL COIXET Based on the novel by Penelope Fitzgerald “A good book is the precious life-blood of a master-spirit, embalmed and treasured up on purpose to a life beyond life, and as such it must surely be a necessary commodity.” Penelope Fitzgerald - The Bookshop PITCH A town that lacks a bookshop isn’t always a town that wants one. LOGLINE England 1959. In a small East Anglian town, Florence Green decides, against polite but ruthless local opposition, to open a bookshop. SYNOPSIS Based on Penelope Fitzgerald’s novel of the same name; The Bookshop is set in 1959, Florence Green (Emily Mortimer), a free-spirited widow, puts grief behind her and risks everything to open up a bookshop – the first such shop in the sleepy seaside town of Hardborough, England. Fighting damp, cold and considerable local apathy she struggles to establish herself but soon her fortunes change for the better. By exposing the narrow-minded local townsfolk to the best literature of the day including Nabokov’s scandalising Lolita and Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451, she opens their eyes thereby causing a cultural awakening in a town which has not changed for centuries. Her activities bring her a kindred spirit and ally in the figure of Mr.Brundish (Bill Nighy)who is himself sick of the town’s stale atmosphere. But this mini social revolution soon brings her fierce enemies: she invites the hostility of the town’s less prosperous shopkeepers and also crosses Mrs. Gamart (Patricia Clarkson), Hardborough’s vengeful, embittered alpha female who is herself a wannabe doyenne of the local arts scene.

  • The Bookshop Review - Boldly Sombre Drama Puts Britain to Rights
    The Bookshop review - boldly sombre drama puts Britain to rights Emily Mortimer plays the quietly heroic shop owner at the heart of this fascinating Penelope Fitzgerald adaptation By Peter Bradshaw, June 29, 2018 The Spanish film-maker Isabel Coixet brings an interesting, unsentimental detachment to this odd tragicomedy of provincial life. She refuses the familiar grace notes of comedy and sugary romance in favour of something more awkward and angular. Coixet has herself adapted this from the semi- autobiographical novel by Penelope Fitzgerald about an amiable young widow who comes to a remote coastal Suffolk town in the late Quietly polite heroine … Emily Mortimer in The Bookshop. Photograph: Allstar/Zephyr Films 1950s, buys a dilapidated property there and enterprisingly converts it into a bookshop. She makes a success of it, largely by stocking Nabokov’s Lolita – thus incurring the envious displeasure of a local grande dame who had herself wanted the property for a self-aggrandising “arts centre”. Emily Mortimer plays Florence Green, the woman of quietly polite heroism at the story’s centre, Patricia Clarkson sports an expression of unfathomably queenly displeasure as her enemy, Mrs Gamart, and Bill Nighy plays the bibliophile recluse, Mr Brundish, who admires Florence’s courage and takes her side in this battle. He has an alarming habit of setting fire to the dustjackets of his books and so is predictably a very big fan of Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451. The prominence of that book gives something ominous to the movie’s narrative direction. It is a strange, subdued, rather miserable film, interestingly perceptive on conformism and philistinism as a way of life, and on the disconcerting wiles the inhabitants use in order to thwart Florence’s entirely reasonable plans.

  • Reader's Guide for the Blue Flower and the Bookshop Published By
    MARINER BOOKS THE BLUE FLOWER HOUGHTON MIFFLIN COMPANY “A masterpiece. How does she do it?”—A. S. Byatt Friedrich Leopold, Baron von Hardenberg (1772–1801), was born in Oberwiederstadt, Germany, studied law, philosophy, and history, worked A Reader’s Guide as a government auditor at Weissenfels, and — under the pseudonym Novalis—became known as the “prophet of Romanticism.” Best known for his Sacred Songs (1799) and Hymns to the Night (1800), Novalis left unfinished two prose narratives, the more important of which, Heinrich PENELOPE FITZGERALD von Ofterdingen, centers on a mystical young poet in search of a myste- rious blue flower. Penelope Fitzgerald has taken the facts of Novalis’s short life and fashioned a remarkable, poetic novel of irrational love, passionate thought, and the transfiguration of the commonplace. The Blue Flower, chosen nineteen times in England as the 1995 “Book of the Year,” also “No writer is more presents an uncannily convincing view of landscape and life in late-eigh- engaging than teenth-century Saxony — its small towns, universities, estates, and Penelope Fitzgerald.” people, from humble to noble. — Anita Brookner, In her inimitably magical way, Fitzgerald reconstructs Fritz von The Spectator Hardenberg’s formative years, from his childhood in a large family through the death in 1797 of his beloved Sophie von Kühn, as well as the society that he sought to transform and transcend. It is Fritz’s inexplica- ble, impetuous love for the plain, twelve-year-old Sophie, however, that is both focus and fulcrum for this “quite astonishing. masterpiece.” (New York Times Book Review) THE BOOKSHOP “A beautiful book, a perfect little gem.”—BBC “Kaleidoscope” Penelope Fitzgerald’s second novel, her first to be short-listed for England’s prestigious Booker Prize, is set in the small East Anglian town of Hardborough in 1959.

  • Review: in 'The Bookshop,'
    Review: In ‘The Bookshop,’ Seeking Calm, Finding Conflict Bill Nighy and Emily Mortimer in “The Bookshop,” a film directed by Isabel Coixet. Greenwich Entertainment By Jeannette Catsoulis, Aug. 23, 2018 The Spanish director Isabel Coixet might have been the best thing to happen to “The Bookshop,” a gently disruptive adaptation of the 1978 novel by the English writer Penelope Fitzgerald. A more conventional filmmaker might have nudged this scathing attack on class entitlement in the romantic- comedy direction that early scenes seem to tease. Instead, Ms. Coixet highlights the undertow of subtle savagery in her genteel material, giving its picturesque setting — an English coastal village in 1959 — a more sinister, cynical cast. Because of this, the tale of Florence (Emily Mortimer), a young war widow who opens a bookshop in this deceptively peaceful location, becomes more urgent and far more touching than we expect. Almost immediately, old-money forces align against her in the form of Violet (Patricia Clarkson), a grande dame who wants the store’s historic premises for herself. And as Violet — every utterance a scalpel sheathed in velvet — schemes to evict her, Florence finds an unlikely ally in Mr. Brundish (Bill Nighy), a reclusive misanthrope and avid reader. Few actors can convey entire landscapes of emotional pain like Mr. Nighy. In contrast to the parochial power-mongering, his character’s near-silent connection with Florence is an oasis of long, meticulously choreographed moments that are enormously affecting. Their relationship is emblematic of a movie whose greatest pleasures often seem to derive from what fails to happen, the showdowns and declarations that hang tantalizingly in the wind.

We are then thrust back in time after just a few short chapters. I can certainly appreciate books where the characters are all unlikable - but I didn't get the impression that these people really were, historically, that bad - just that Fitzgerald personally regards them with a kind of snide contempt.
