In this profile, Emma Donoghue tells the story of two eccentric
Victorian spinsters: Katherine Bradley (1846-1914) and her niece
Edith Cooper (1862-1913); poets and lovers, who wrote together
under the name of Michael Field. They wrote eleven volumes of
poetry and thirty historical tragedies, but perhaps their best work
- richest in emotional honesty and wit - was the diary that the two
women shared for a quarter of a century, and these unpublished
journals and letters form the basis for the groundbreaking We are
Michael Field. The Michaels lived in a contradictory world of
inherited wealth and terrible illness, silly nicknames and
religious crises. They preferred men to women, and yet their
greatest devotion was saved for their dog. Snobbish, arrogant
eccentrics who faced bereavement and death with great courage, the
Michaels never lost their appetite for life or their passion for
each other.
