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

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.

First Sentence:
An earlier title for this book was Cross Talk, intended to signal that it was, as an earlier draft had announced, "cross-cultural in at least three senses, crossing boundaries between male and female, black and white, African and Europe as its argument requires." Read the first page
