The UK first edition, hardback of The King’s General by Daphne du Maurier
Eva Leung is currently writing a series of reviews of Daphne du Maurier books for the Daphne du Maurier website. At the website, we have previously posted 'The Beginning of the End: The Prologue and Epilogues of Hungry Hill and The Glass-Blowers', a lecture that she presented at the Daphne du Maurier International Conference in Le Mans, France, in 2019.
Eva is a senior lecturer at HKU SPACE Po Leung Kuk Stanley Ho Community College. She received her PhD in English from the University of Hong Kong, and her doctoral research is on the novels by Daphne du Maurier, with a particular focus on narratology and the relationship between the Tale and the Reader. So she is very knowledgeable about Daphne du Maurier, and her book reviews form an important addition to our website.
Eva feels that Daphne du Maurier's works as modern classics should be more popular, and she tries to promote her other brilliant works that can get overshadowed by Rebecca. She has pitched her reviews to non-academics by writing them for people who may not have read her works before and by keeping them short and simple.
In Eva's seventh review, she discusses Daphne du Maurier's historical novel – The King's General.
