''Good Morning, Midnight'' is a 1939 modernist novel by the author Jean Rhys. Often considered a continuation of Rhys' three other early novels, ''Quartet'' (1928), ''After Leaving Mr Mackenzie'' (1930) and ''Voyage in the Dark'' (1934), it is experimental in design and deals with a woman's feelings of vulnerability, depression, loneliness and desperation during the years between the two World Wars. The book initially sold poorly—critics thought it well-written, but too depressing—and after its publication Rhys spent a decade living in obscurity. It was not until it was adapted into a theatrical production in 1949, and again into a radio play 1957 by the BBC, that Rhys was once again put into the spotlight. ==Background== The novel's title is derived from a poem by the American poet Emily Dickinson: Good morning, Midnight! I'm coming home, Day got tired of me – How could I of him? Sunshine was a sweet place, I liked to stay – But Morn didn't want me – now – So good night, Day! 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Good Morning, Midnight (Rhys novel)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
