Summary:
"The definitive
biography
of Rebecca West, British novelist, journalist, literary critic and travel writer, one of the great British literary figures of the twentieth century. Born Cicely Isabel Fairfield in 1892, as a young woman, and a budding actress, Rebecca West changed her name to that of the feminist heroine in Ibsen's play, Rosmersholm. West was a passionate suffragist, a socialist and fiercely intelligent and her long career as a writer began when she was barely out of her teens. As did her notorious affair with H.G. Wells, which resulted in a son, Anthony, whose relationship with his mother was, at best, stormy. Perhaps best remembered for her classic account of pre-war Yugoslavia, Black Lamb, Grey Falcon, West was a towering figure in the British literary landscape"--Provided by publisher.
