Sinopse
This second edition of Carl Rollyson's standard biography begins with a portrait that attempts to evoke the living person in all her dimensions. It concludes with an interview with one of her favorite secretaries, Elizabeth Leyshon, who eluded him in the 1990s but provided new insights into her employer's character for this book.
The biography's new title emphasizes that Rebecca West was a prophet - one not always appreciated in her own day. As early as 1917, she understood where the world was headed and realized that the revolution in Russia held out false hope. Because she took this view as a socialist, those on the left scorned her as an apostate, whereas she understood that Communism would result in a disaster for the British left. Those wishing to gauge the range of West's fiction and nonfiction should listen to Woman as Artist and Thinker, published by iUniverse.
Rollyson has made his words anew, sharpening sentences, omitting words and paragraphs - sometimes entire sections - in order to provide a refreshing, more engaging, and spirited account of one of the world's major writers.
