Soft cover. Condición: Good. 2nd Edition. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges. Book corners now reinforced with book tape. Pages have started to sun. Christina Stead was a hugely unapproachable person who detested self-revelation and, late in life, destroyed many of her private papers.Would-be biographers were held at arm's length, and any so foolhardy as to persevere found doors slammed and projects aborted. Only Hazel Rowley managed to stay the course, persuading Stead's estate and her friends, colleagues, and family members to cooperate, thereby gaining access to private papers and privileged memories.The result is an intellectually rigorous yet dramatically riveting book that brings alive this odd and furious woman who was often her own worst enemy but who stands with very few as one of the truly important literary figures of her age.Born in Australia in 1902, Christina Stead sailed for England at the age of twenty-six, not to return home until she was seventy-two. An intensely private person and an incredibly cantankerous one, Stead lived a life that was stormy, eccentric, and brave. She was highly political and maddeningly contentious, few would call her easy in life or in fiction.And yet, in her lifetime, her work was likened to that of Balzac, Joyce, Ibsen, and Tolstoy. But, in fact, it was uniquely her own. (publisher blurb). Nº de ref. del artículo: 008871

All items are tracked and details are available on request. "Christina Stead has the fullness of tragedy, with its glorious peaks and dismal abysses. It is a model of clarity. Ms. Rowley's shrewd selectivity and handling of anecdote makes the book compellingly readable. "Rowley's interpretation of the novels and their creator is, for the most part, thoroughly persuasive. Her tracing of what she calls 'Stead's shadow self' from her unhappy childhood through the crucible of her fiction to the final shambles of her later years gives the biography a vigorous and unnerving momentum, reminiscent of Stead's own fiction. Christina Stead is everything a literary biography should be." Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilogram. Category: Biography & Autobiography; Australia; ISBN: 1863303774.
