Review Quotes
Mary Joannou, Anglia Ruskin University
“This is an excellent collection of essays on the early twentieth-century writer Margiad Evans, a distinctive and original writer whose talent has been little recognized. The contributors draw on a wealth of undiscovered archival resources in this scholarly and engaging account of many different aspects of her life and work—including her identity as a woman, her epilepsy and medical condition, and her gothic imagination.”
