Amy Levy

Description:

"In Amy Levy: Her Life and Letters, Linda Hunt Beckman provides a critical study of Levy's work and scrutinizes it, along with her letters and other cultural documents, for insight into her intense emotional and intellectual life. In telling her story, Beckman re-creates Levy's milieu, giving us a glimpse of Levy and her friends coping with - and creating - social ferment and change. This book introduces us to a woman who deserves a secure place in literary and cultural history."--BOOK JACKET.
