Opis

May Sinclair (1863-1946) was a bestselling novelist who was one of the first British women to go out to the Belgian front in 1914. May Sinclair: A Modern Victorian draws on newly discovered manuscripts to tell the story of this woman whose emotional isolation bears witness to the great price Victorian women had to pay for their intellectual freedom.

Recenzje

This is an intense and complex stage in Sinclair's intellectual life, and Raitt writes about the mixture of forces affecting her in the late 1910s very intelligently and illuminatingly. May Sinclair: A modern Victorian is lucid, interesting and careful... this is an important and impressive achievement; when the histories of modernism are rewritten, no one will be able to ignore May Sinclair again.
