Description: In this book, author Mildred Davis Harding rescues from undeserved neglect Pearl Craigie, the American-born English author "John Oliver Hobbes" (1867-1906) and her works.

Harding traces Craigie's crowded external and inner life and her connections with such important people as George Moore, Lord and Lady Curzon, and Jennie Churchill, and with literature, journalism, theater, politics, and religion at the turn of the century. The author also analyzes and evaluates Hobbes's numerous works (novels, short stories, plays, lectures, journalistic essays), linking Craigie's life with her work.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index.
