"Olive Schreiner always had an effect on people - no-one who encountered her was afterwards neutral about her. She was adored or thoroughly loathed. In this collection of letters, diaries and other manuscript sources, Ridley Beeton integrates her warmth and arrogance, her anger and love, her brilliance and contrariness into a comprehensive portrait of Olive Schreiner the woman and writer. The emotional/intellectual entanglements with Karl Pearson, Edward Carpenter and Havelock Ellis are extensively covered. The facets presented are based on primary sources held at research centres, and are linked by notes which give further information about the people who influenced her, or under whose guidance she worked.".
