Maurice Guest

Author: Bruce Steele

AUD $ 80.00

Henry Handel Richardson's first novel Maurice Guest (1908) proved too big and too controversial to be published as she intended. Heinemann, her publisher, insisted on her cutting 20,000 words and made several attempts to tone down its language.

Fully annotated, it includes the history of its writing, publication and reception in Europe, America and Australia.
