Synopsis

When Rebecca was first published in 1938 it was an immediate popular success. Critics were less enthusiastic. 'It would be absurd to make a fuss about Rebecca,' wrote V.S. Pritchett. 'It will be here today and gone tomorrow like the rest of publicity's 'masterpieces'.' Pritchett was wrong. The novel, never out of print, has proved immensely influential. Christopher Frayling speaks for many modern critics when he says that today Rebecca 'looks increasingly rich and dark': it offers interesting perspectives on individual psychology, family, class and gender roles and, as Theo Tait says in this short guide, is rightly seen as du Maurier's masterpiece.
