Hardback. Condition: Good. In this nuanced, discerning account of a life famously flawed in its search for perfection (The New Yorker), Gordon captures Eliot's complex spiritual and artistic history . . . with tact, diligence, and subtlety (Boston Globe). Drawing on recently discovered letters, she addresses in full the issue of Eliot's anti-Semitism as well as the less-noted issue of his misogyny. Her account rescues both the poet and the man from the simplifying abstractions that have always been applied to him (The New York Times), and is definitive but not dogmatic, sympathetic without taking sides. . . . Its voice rings with authority (Baltimore Sun). Praised by Cynthia Ozick as daring, strong, psychologically brilliant, Gordon's study remains true to the mysteries of art as she chronicles the poet's insistent search for salvation.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. "Wonderful, and deeply sobering. . . . Lyndall Gordon relates Wollstonecraft's story with the same potent mixture of passion and reason her subject personified."--New York Times Book Review The founder of modern feminism, Mary Wollstonecraft (1759-1797) was the most famous woman in Europe and America in her time. Yet her reputation over the years has suffered--until now. Acclaimed biographer Lyndall Gordon mounts a spirited defense of this brilliant, unconventional woman who held strikingly modern notions of education, single motherhood, family responsibilities, working life, domestic affections, friendships, and sexual relationships. Offering a new interpretation for the 21st century, Gordon paints a vibrant, full portrait of Wollstonecraft, revealing how this remarkable woman's genius reverberated through the generations, influencing not only her daughter, Mary Shelley, and other heirs, but early political philosophy in England and America as well--including the ideas of John and Abigail Adams.…
