The story of an african farm, paperback/olive schreiner

This pioneering work was a cause celebre when it appeared in London, transforming the shape and course of the late Victorian novel.

Lynall, Schreiners articulate young feminist, marks the entry of the controversial New Woman into nineteenth-century fiction.

From the haunting plains of South Africas high Karoo, Schreiner boldly addresses her societys greatest fears: the loss of faith, the dissolution of marriage, and womens social and political independence.
