The extraordinary twentieth-century writer Barbara Comyns led a life as captivating as the narratives she spun. This pioneering biography reveals the journey of a woman who experienced hardship and single-motherhood before the age of thirty but went on to publish a sequence of novels that are unique in the English language.Comyns turned her hand to many jobs in order to survive, from artist’s model to restoring pianos. Hundreds of unpublished letters reveal an occasionally desperate but resourceful and witty woman whose complicated life ranged from enduring poverty when young to mixing with spivs, spies and high society. While working as a housekeeper in her mid-thirties, Comyns began transforming the bleak episodes of her life into compelling fictions streaked with surrealism and deadpan humour. The Vet’s Daughter (1959), championed by Graham Greene, brought her fame, although her use of the gothic and macabre divided readers and reviewers.This biography not only excavates Comyns’s life but also reclaims her fiction, providing a timely reassessment of her literary contribution. It sheds new light on a remarkable author who deftly captured the complexities of human life.

Legendary publisher and writer John Calder said of Barbara Wright that she was "the most brilliant, conscientious and original translator of 20th century French literature." Wright introduced to an English-speaking readership and audience some of the most innovative French literature of the last hundred years: a world without Alfred Jarry's "Ubu," Raymond Queneau's "Zazie," and Robert Pinget's "Monsieur Songe" scarcely bears thinking about. This wonderful collection of texts about and by Barbara Wright--including work by David Bellos, Breon Mitchell, and Nick Wadley, as well as a previously unpublished screenplay written and translated by Wright in collaboration with Robert Pinget--begins the work of properly commemorating a figure toward whom all of English letters owes an unpayable debt.
Barbara Kingsolver

This title includes in-depth critical discussions of her life and works. Over the past two decades, Barbara Kingsolver has built a sizable reputation as one of the most politically engaged writers in America. When ""The Bean Trees"" was published in 1988, Kingsolver established herself as a new literary voice willing to take on contemporary political and social issues like race, feminism, class, and immigration. Subsequent books, like ""Pigs in Heaven"", ""The Poisonwood Bible"", ""Prodigal Summer"", and ""Small Wonder"", reiterated these concerns and added others, most notably environmentalism. Today, she continues to be a formidable advocate of politically, socially, and environmentally conscious writing. This collection of essays, edited and introduced by Thomas Austenfeld, Professor of American Literature and Dean of the Faculty of Letters at the University of Fribourg, Switzerland, offers readers an introduction to Kingsolver's life, works, and critics. Austenfeld's introduction reflects on Kingsolver's 'sense of place' and her ongoing commitment to being a 'writer with a purpose', while four original essays provide valuable context for readers new to Kingsolver. These essays draw on Kingsolver's biography to discuss the evolution of her political convictions and locate her as an inheritor of the political fiction of the 1930s; review the major pieces of Kingsolver criticism and the popular reception of her books; demonstrate how her first novel, ""The Bean Trees"", reworks the gothic tropes of Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre to affirm positive portrayals of racial and ethnic others; and offer an ecofeminist reading of Prodigal Summer that reveals, how throughout the novel, the female protagonists reconsider their relationships with human communities and the land of the Appalachian South. Finally, this volume assembles a highly diverse selection of previously published essays concerning Kingsolver. ""The Bean Trees"" is read as a feminine re-working of the American Western, and matriarchal communities are explored in the same as well as in Pigs in Heaven. Other essays analyze Animal Dreams through the lens of trauma studies to yield insight into the novel's narrative structure and use developmental psychology to understand the growth of the novel's protagonist. ""The Poisonwood Bible""'s depiction of the colonization of the Congo is read as a parallel to Nathan's colonization of the women of the Price family, and other readings of the novel reveals how it reworks the genre of domestic fiction, how its multiple narrators subvert traditional Western narrative techniques to create a unique rhetorical appeal, and how Kingsolver depicts disability. ""Prodigal Summer"" is read as an argument for a bioregionalism perspective of sustainable agriculture and, finally, a survey of Kingsolver's fiction and nonfiction is used to discuss the environmental concerns spanning her works. The volume also contains an original contribution by ""Paris Review"" writer Katherine Ryder that discusses the politics of Kingsolver's essay collection ""Small Wonder"" as well as critical reference materials for readers wishing to study this uniquely committed writer in greater depth.
