The novels of Rosamond Lehmann, which are the products of delicate sensibility and the stream of consciousness technique, are, especially in such recent works as The Ballad and the Source (1944) and The Echoing Grove (1953), strongly marked by a return to traditionalism because of story-telling aspect. In this respect, Miss Lehmann, though in a way a close disciple of Virginia Woolf, shows the characteristics of the generation after that of Mrs. Woolf and James Joyce, the generation to which belong Graham Greene and Elizabeth Bowen. The essay proposes to investigate into the way in which she combines the stream of consciousness technique with the skill of a story-teller. It may be easily assumed that Miss Lehmann, who studied at Girton College, Cambridge in the early twenties, and who dedicates her first novel to George Rylands, has been acquainted with Mrs. Woolf's work from the very beginning of her career; and though Dusty Answer (1927), her first extremely successful work, is written in the traditional way, her second novel, A Note in Music (1930) closely follows Mrs. Woolf's technique, and in Ralph Seddon's thoughts expresses exactly the same views as Mrs. Woolf. However, Miss Lehmann could do without that painful groping of a pioneer, and from the very beginning attains that "combination of the external and the internal" which Mrs. Woolf has developed in her last two works. In prose style, too, Miss Lehmann's, which, as is well illustrated in the last paragraph of Invitation to the Waltt (1932), her third work, seems generally to contain more verbs of action and is quicker in tempo, is more suitable for the unfolding of a plot, and the fourth novel, The Weather in the Streets (1936), in spite of the fact that, like The Invitation to the Waltz, the central interest lies in the minute depiction of the heroine's sensations, with its conscious effort to make a careful plot, points to the author's further development, the. emphasis on the story-telling in The Ballad and the Source and The Echoing Grove. The essay is concluded with an investigation into the skilful unity of a fascinating story and the artistic rendering of individual psychology-the "sensation of living"-in the last two works.
