Monica Elizabeth Jolley AO ( She was 53 years old when her first book was published, and she went on to publish novels, short stories, a trilogy of autobiographical novels, and non-fiction works well into her 70s. Life Elizabeth Jolley was born in At 17 she began training as nurse in London and was exposed first hand to the horrors of Endowed with an intellect as sharp as his wife's, Leonard was deeply committed to her; he was the strongest supporter and a constructive critic of his wife's work. Writers from all over the world were dinner guests in their modest house, full of books and surrounded by trees, in the riverside Perth suburb of Jolley worked at a variety of jobs during her life, including nursing, cleaning, selling things door to door and running a small poultry farm, but through all this time she wrote fiction, short stories, plays and novels. However, she did not have a book published until 1976, when she was 53 years old. From the late 1970s, she taught writing at the As Riemer wrote in his obituary, "Everyone who knew her has a favourite Elizabeth Jolley story".Riemer (2007)] He continues, later in the obituary, to say that "Jolley could assume any one of several personas - the little old lady, the Central European intellectual, the nurse, the orchardist, the humble wife, the university teacher, the door-to-door salesperson - at the drop of a hat, usually choosing one that would disconcert her listeners, but hold them in fascination as well". She developed dementia in 2000, and died in a nursing home in Perth in 2007. Her death prompted many tributes in newspapers across Australia, and in " On 16 November 2007, the performance of Brahms' " Literary career Jolley began writing early in her twenties, but was not recognized until much later. She had many rejections by publishers, 39 in one year alone. Delys Bird suggests that it was the post-modern features of her writing - "motifs repeated within and between novels and short stories, self-reflexivity and open-endedness"Bird (2000) p. 195] - that made it hard for them to be published at that time. She suggests that her eventual success owes a little to "the 1980s awareness of 'women's writing'". In the 1960s some of her stories were accepted by the BBC World Service and She lapsed in her writing, discouraged by earlier failures, and was only to be published again in 1983 with "Miss Peabody's Inheritance" and "Mr Scobie's Riddle". The latter won the Later in her career she wrote an autobiographical fiction trilogy, "My Father's Moon", "Cabin Fever" and 'The George's Wife". In an article in "The Age" newspaper, February 20, 2007, written after her death, literary critic, Peter Craven, was reported as saying, "She was a master of black comedy and she went on to write a wholly different form of autobiographical fiction that was lucid, luminous and calm". [Steger (2007)] "Lovesong", her third last novel, is, Riemer suggests, "the riskiest book she wrote". It deals with the subject of pedophilia and demonstrates "an admirable refusal to be deflected from what she must have seen as the demands of her art and vocation". In 1993 a diary she kept before her novels were published which recorded the experience of buying a hobby farm was published as "Diary of a Weekend Farmer". A partly autobiographical collection of pieces, "Central Mischief", appeared in 1992. She also wrote numerous radio plays broadcast by the Elizabeth Jolley was made a Professor of Creative Writing at On February 8, 2008, Curtin University Library launched the online Elizabeth Jolley Research Collection, a virtual research centre for scholars interested in studying her and her work. Literary style and themes Jolley's style comprises an "unusual mixture of ... late-twentieth century modernism ... and a neo-nineteenth century humanism." Bird suggests that this humanism provides "solace for readers whose equilibrium may be threatened by [her] deracinated wit and uncanny narrative techniques." The characters of Jolley's stories and novels are in varying degrees society's misfits; whether they are old, foreign, lonely, eccentric, poor, or simply regarded as deviant, they are outsiders, dispossessed and diminished. The sadness of their lives is frequently moderated by the inventiveness of their strategies for survival – often described with a mix of wry affection, dark humour and satirical realism. The concept of alienation, displacement or exile is common to most of Jolley's novels. Jolley said this about finding her characters: "I don’t really know. I suppose I must see something, I might see somebody in a shop, doing something, taking something or choosing something and that interests me. And I then might go home and make a note about it. Miss Thorne in Miss Peabody’s Inheritance, I actually saw at a dinner party. Well, it was a buffet dinner, really, not where you sit around a table. I never spoke to the woman, but she was sitting on the floor in a navy blue frock, a very big pile of dark hair, a very powerful woman. That kind of thing will give me a character" [Caldwell (2007)] Her characters often inhabit various forms of prisons – a gothic boarding house in "Milk and Honey", a maternity home in "Cabin Fever", an isolated farm in "Palomino" and "The Well". Stories developed by Jolley usually centred on the protagonists' bizarre methods of coping and gritty convictions of significance. Riemer suggests that her father's side "must have been held responsible for her wry sense of the subterranean anarchy of rigidly controlled British (and Australian) institutions - hospitals, boarding schools and old-age homes - which she evoked memorably in novel after novel" and that her Austrian heritage accounted for "her often nighmarish imagination and certainly for her fascination with German-language culture, the snippets of Jolley commented that she was interested in the individual's particular form of loneliness or fear, which imposes life on the fringe. "I suppose I'm interested to explore the inside of people's survival – bitter knowledge, grief and unwanted realization often go side by side with acceptance, love and hope." Cruelty, emotional manipulation, territorial aggression and financial exploitation are also natural to a great many of her characters, and her underlying view of the human condition – although counterpointed somewhat with empathy and compassion – is necessarily bleak. While Jolley is often thought of as a primarily urban writer, many of her works - particularly "Palomino", "The Newspaper of Claremont Street", "The Well", and her nonfictional "Diary of a Weekend Farmer" - are "intensely permeated with the landscape" and include women farmers who choose to farm their land. Falkiner (1992) p. 121] Her books are often interconnected by characters who appear again or in almost identical form in other novels, and certain incidents and situations recur in many of her stories – although the responses to these situations is are varied and drawn out in different ways amongst different texts. Helen Garner writes about this quality in her writing: "She will take a situation, a relationship, a moment of insight, a particular longing, and work on it in half a dozen different versions, making the characters older or younger, changing their gender or their class, gaoling or releasing a father, adding or subtracting a murder or a suicide; and these repetitions and reusings, conscious but not to the point of being orchestrated, set up a pattern of echoes which unifies the world, and is most seductive and comforting". [Garner (1983) p. 154] Garner also comments on the humour in Jolley's writing: "Elizabeth Jolley is a very "funny" writer ... she is droll, sly, often delicate ... she is offhand, with a batty sideways slip that I find hilarious".
