She was named a Dame Commander of the British Empire in 1967. Ivy Compton-Burnett's unconventional novels of the Edwardian gentry reveal beneath their irony, satire, and wit an embittered, frightful world of hypocrisy and cruelty. Her writings are noted for their lack of plot, their absence of description and characterization, and their almost complete reliance on articulate, highly stylized conversations. Among her most notable works are Brother and Sister A House and Its Head Manservant and Maidservant Mother and Son The Mighty and Their Fall (1961), and

Standing here in front of my house, I feel as young as when I moved into it thirty years ago, in the year eighteen hundred and fifty-nine. What aged man would you take me to be, as I step as it were casually into your view?"

Extractions: People who have power respond simply. They have no minds but their own. Real life seems to have no plot. Time . . . is not a great healer. It is an indifferent and perfunctory one. Sometimes it does not heal at all. And sometimes when it seems to, no healing has been necessary. My youth is escaping without giving me anything it owes me.
Studs Terkel : Conversations With America
Author(s) Terkel, Studs Interviewer compton-burnett, ivy - IntervieweeGandhi, Shanta - Interviewee. Talking to Myself Book One, Chapter 2.
http://www.studsterkel.org/ttmyself.php

Extractions: In Talking to Myself, Terkel recounts some of the formative and entertaining incidents from his own life. In most of his oral history interviews, he stays in the background and lets the subject take center stage. Here, without restraint, he brings forth his own unique flair for storytelling, interweaving stories of his youth, the resident characters at the Grand-Wells Hotel, and stories of Chicagoans with those of interesting people he meets while traveling. As in his other books, he is often presenting other peoples stories, but in Talking to Myself, they are perceived more directly through the eyes of the observer, Terkel himself. "I once met Melvin Purvis. Was it 1933? He had written me a letter, on FBI stationery, inviting me to see him. It was an interview concerning a job. You see, I was unhappy at law school. My one ambition at the time, was to get a civil service job. That's what I really wanted. Something steady. Something not too exciting or exacting. So that I might, without too much on my mind, see movies and plays and weekend baseball games and attend concerts. I felt I had the makings of a good spectator.I had a year or so before, taken a civil service examination. I assume I scored okay. Otherwise, Mr. Purvis would not have invited me. The job: fingerprint classifier for the FBI. Melvin Purvis was friendly enough.I remember his neatness, his diminutive size, and his soft Southern accent. It was a year of so before he would achieve renown as the FBI man who did in John Dillinger."
