Endpapers and edges a little foxed; faint hand-stamp to front free endpaper. Good condition. At the time of its publication, the author of this work was able to write: "As there are few people alive to-day who knew Olive Schreiner personally, I have been fortunate in having been able to meet many of those most intimately connected with her in South Africa, where, with the exception of fourteen years, she spent her life. Had this research been postponed, it is likely that much information would no longer have been obtainable. . There is only one other book on Olive Schreiner in existence. This is extraordinary in view of the fact that those who knew her best describe her as a dynamic, dominant personality with exceptional intellectual powers. What makes the paucity of literature on this writer even more inexplicable is that much of her work remains as vivid and challenging to-day as when it was written, over half a century ago."
