Böcker av Lisa Catherine Harper

Explores some of the best-known literary partnerships - from the Sidneys to Boswell and Johnson to Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes. This collection challenges the traditional focus on solitary genius by examining the diversity of literary couplings and collaborations from the early modern to the postmodern period.

There is no denying it: motherhood splits a woman's life forever, into a before and an after. To this doubled life Lisa Catherine Harper brings a wealth of feeling and a wry sense of humour, a will to understand the emotional and biological transformations that motherhood entails, and a narrative gift that any reader will enjoy.
