Mary Webb (1881-1927) was an English romantic novelist of the early 20th century, whose novels were set chiefly in the Shropshire countryside and among Shropshire characters and people which she knew and loved well. Although she was acclaimed by John Buchan and by Rebecca West, who hailed her as a genius, and won the Prix Femina of La Vie Heureuse for Precious Bane (1924), she won little respect from the general public. It was only after her death that the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Stanley Baldwin, earned her posthumous success through his approbation, referring to her as a neglected genius at a Literary Fund dinner in 1928. Her writing is notable for its descriptions of nature, and of the human heart. She had a deep sympathy for all her characters and was able to see good and truth in all of them. Among her most famous works are: The Golden Arrow (1916), Gone to Earth (1917), and Seven for a Secret (1922).… (plus d'informations)

The title is based on a folksong about how true lovers search for and clasp the golden arrow although it is a very hard thing to do. Deborah Arden and Stephen Southernwood are one such couple, while Lily Hutchnance and Joe Arden another. ( )

John Arden's stone cottage stood in the midst of the hill plateau, higher than the stream began, shelterless to the four winds.

It is an ironic twisting of fate which Mary Webb, as this novel so clearly illustrates, would have been quick to perceive. (Introduction)
