200 x 130 mm; pictorial wrappers; pp. 304. Wrappers very slightly rubbed, and sunned on spine; scattered foxing. Good condition. "Olive Schreiner always had an effect on people - no-one who encountered her was afterwards neutral about her. She was adored or thoroughly loathed. In this collection of letters, diaries and other manuscript sources, Ridley Beeton integrates her warmth and arrogance, her anger and love, her brilliance and contrariness into a comprehensive portrait of Olive Schreiner the woman and writer.
