- Description
- This book tells the stories of five novelists ( Mary Shelley, Emily Bronte, George Eliot, Olive Schreiner, Virginia Woolf ) and their famous novels. In linking their creativity to their lives as outsiders, this group biography throws new light on the genius they share. 'Outsider', 'outlaw', 'outcast': a woman's reputation was her security and each of these five lost it. As writers, they made these identities their own, taking advantage of their separation from the dominant order to write their novels.
