Abstract
Jane Ellen Panton and Julia Frankau made their careers writing—and fighting—about the suburbs. Chapter 7 explores the literary relationship between Frankau and Panton and the communities of which both were a part. Suburban communities played important parts in both their careers, albeit in quite different ways: Frankau made her reputation with a novel about Jewish life in Maida Vale, while Panton rose to prominence writing about home decoration and the suburbs to the south of London. Frankau finally sought to distance herself from her Anglo-Jewish suburban beginnings and enter the ranks of the English cosmopolitan elite; Panton, born Frith, detached herself from her great father and forged a new identity for herself as “Mrs. Panton,” discovering in suburban Shortlands in Bromley a community of writers who helped her transition. The two writers viewed the different suburban communities they encountered quite differently. Yet the two were united by a refusal to view their birth identities as defining their life course, pursing lives and professional careers shaped by the suburb’s thematic of mobility, new starts, and self-recreation.
