Olive Schreiner: Her Friends and Times, by D. L. Hobman (used hardcover)

First edition, clothbound hardcover.

The centenary of Olive Schreiner is a fitting occasion for a re-appraisal of one of the outstanding women of the last hundred years. Much has changed since The Story of an African Farm brought her fame as a novelist. Some of the causes which she championed have been won, but the debt owed to her by posterity deserves fuller recognition. The author of this timely biography paints a vivid picture of the background to Olive Schreiner's work and offers a perceptive interpretation of her complex and contradictory character.

Condition: the book itself is in great condition, but the dust jacket has tears
