Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"She negotiates a minefield of race, class, and gender issues (surcharged here with the powerful nationalistic and ethnic ordinance of her African material) with an open, adroit deployment of theory and historiography." -- Choice
Review
"Horton offers a truly original approach to her subjects -- sophisticated, probing, daring. Her book is an important contribution to scholarship on both writers and to a rethinking of how we approach writers from the 'contact zone.'." -- Sidonie Smith, Binghamton University

4.0 out of 5 stars
Ralph Iron and Titania,
By Kevin Sim (Singapore) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Difficult Women, Artful Lives: Olive Schreiner and Isak Dinesen, in and out of Africa (Parallax: Re-visions of Culture and Society) (Paperback)
Critical works on Dinesen and Schreiner, individually,are few and far in between. This book which looks at both authors is some sort of a gem.Although not necessarily very reader-friendly, it nevertheless examines a relationship between the two authors that has been obvious. Definitely an interesting read for those in Schreiner and Dinesen research. For the layman who is interested in the authors, it can also be rather enlightening.
