Reviews
“This is a very attractive and scholarly work, which in many respects emphasizes the maverick nature of a distinguished literary icon. The free spirit of the then literary age is portrayed via a female figure who refuses to be bound by establishment rules and the controlling powers of the contemporary literary world. ..it is a comprehensive work and worthy of great attention from a broad perspective of interest.”
