May Sinclair A Modern Victorian

"Sinclair was afraid that any details of her personal life would deflect attention from her work....This biography argues rather admirably that Sinclair's wish should be respected. Raitt hesitates to go down gossipy avenues, finding there only 'tiny clues' and 'vague rumors.' But, practically, concessions must be made....Raitt fills the early stages of her account with a wealth of rewarding biographical detail....Raitt always assesses Sinclair with a level gaze, however. She never clasps her in a sisterly clinch....[A] beautifully disciplined, shockingly unrevealing portrait."Raitt, Suzanne is the author of 'May Sinclair A Modern Victorian' with ISBN 9780198122982 and ISBN 0198122985.
