Book Overview
Claire Tomalin is best known for a series of acclaimed biographies of Mary Wollstonecraft, Mrs Jordan, Katherine Mansfield, Dickens's mistress Nelly Ternan and, most recently, Jane Austen. But she has also worked as a publisher, critic and journalist, and she reviews and broadcasts collected here are from three decades as a literary journalist. Their subjects range from women's history to modern fiction, letters and biographies of the great - Dickens, Hardy, D.H. Lawrence, Virginia Woolf, Sylvia Plath - to more obscure but no less intriguing figures such as Dame Ethel Smyth (Ancient Mariner and Belle Dame Sans Merci rolled into one) and Edith Nesbit, who managed to keep three households going and to write some of the richest and most long-lasting children's books.
