Storm Jameson Margaret Storm Jameson (8 January 1891 - 30 September 1986) was an English journalist and author, known for her novels and reviews.[1] Jameson was born in Whitby, Yorkshire, and studied at the University of Leeds.[1] She moved to London, where she earned a Masters of Arts degree from King's College London in 1914 and then went on to teach before becoming a full-time writer. She married the author Guy Chapman,[1] but continued to be published under her maiden name, Storm Jameson. Cpmany Parade Set in London immediately after WW1, the novel, the first of a trilogy, centres on Hervey, the only girl in a group of pre-war graduates who are trying to regroup after the war. (Hence the title.) Returned from the front, the men are disillusioned and isolated. Society has changed and it is difficult for the remnants of their little group to integrate. Hervey has married an irresponsible man and had a son, who she has left in care in Yorkshire. She struggles to support herself and the boy from her wages as a copywriter in an advertising agency, in the evenings writing 'popular' novels she is sure will make money. She exists on the edges of literary society but finds it difficult to reconcile her ambition with her need for an income, and her political views with her need to join 'mainstream' society. She toys with socialism, joining a doomed left wing newspaper. But always her ambition to write, to live in London and to make sure her son has everything he needs are uppermost in her mind. The novel clearly uses autobiographical material, although it is not an autobiography. Jameson was interested in the perennial female dilemma of family/work balance and the psychological effects of this on the individual. The novel, written in 1934, is politically shrewd about the state of post WW1 Europe and the looming second war with Germany. sources: Wikipedia / Wordpress
