Description
Sylvia Townsend Warner: A Life of Passion and Truth Sylvia Townsend Warner was a writer of remarkable talent and conviction, whose life was marked by both great achievement and personal struggle. Her novel Lolly Willowes, published in 1926, was a groundbreaking feminist work that established her as a major literary voice. Yet Warner's own life was far from conventional, as she pursued a long-term relationship with poet Valentine Ackland and became a committed member of the Communist party. This biography, written by Claire Harman, offers a fascinating and deeply personal portrait of Warner's life, drawing on letters, poems, and diaries that were previously unpublished. Harman's skillful narrative weaves together Warner's stories and letters to create a compelling and enlightening account of a life that was both passionate and true.
