Publisher: | Johannesburg, South Africa: Ad Donker. 1986. |
Detail: | Printed by National Book Printers, Cape Town, South Africa. Pages: 281. ISBN: 0868520721. Softcover. Condition: Book: Good. . First Edition. First published in 1883, under the pseudonym Ralph Iron. Only later did it transpire that the author was actually a woman -- Olive Schreiner. When the book first appeared it was received with mixed feelings by its Victorian readers, some of whom were shocked by the 'morality' of the author , and felt it would have been better if the book had never been published. Schreiner's perseverance paid off, and today the novel, set on a farm in the Karoo, is considered important for South African literature, as the beginning of a national literary tradition. |
