The Celebrity at Home (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This early work by Violet Hunt was originally published in 1904 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'The Celebrity at Home' is a novel by the author of 'A Hard Woman'. Isobel Violet Hunt was born on 28th September 1862 in Durham, England. Hunt covered several literary forms, including short stories, novels, memoirs, and biographies. Her first published work was her novel 'The Maiden's Progress' (1894) which fell into the New Woman genre and represented her ideals as an active feminist. These political views led to her founding the Women Writer's Suffrage League in 1908. Feminism however, was by no means her only subject matter, with works like 'Tales of the Uneasy' (1911) being a collection of supernatural fiction short stories. Although Hunt produced many works, her reputation is as much for the literary salons she held at her home in Campden Hill as it is for her writing. She would entertain guests such as Rebecca West, Ezra Pound, Joseph Conrad, D. H. Lawrence, and other important writers of the time.

Autorenporträt

Violet Hunt was a fierce literary force and unapologetic trailblazer of the early 20th century-a novelist, feminist, salon host, and muse who defied convention at every turn. Born into an artistic family and raised among the Pre-Raphaelites, she carved out a bold career writing ghost stories, feminist fiction, and scandal-laced autobiographical novels that blurred the line between life and literature. Her legendary London salons attracted literary giants like Henry James and Ezra Pound, while her fiery love affairs with H.G. Wells and Ford Madox Ford fed the gossip pages-and inspired characters in some of the century's most iconic novels. Founder of the Women Writers' Suffrage League and early member of PEN, Hunt wasn't just ahead of her time-she helped shape it.
