1893. Frances Bellenden Clarke was born in Ireland. She married a
widowed army surgeon, Chambers McFall, with whom she had one son.
They traveled extensively in the Far East. As a New Woman novelist,
she became a leading figure in late nineteenth-century feminism of
social and moral purity. In 1890 she left her husband, who did not
support her ideas and in 1893 she changed her name to Madame Sarah
Grand. That year Heinemann published The Heavenly Twins, which
immediately became a controversial bestseller in England and the
United States. This triple-decker novel in deploring sexual
ignorance and hypocrisy in marriage gave a disturbing depiction of
a syphilitic wife and baby. The eponymous twins, Angelica and
Diablo, served to question gender roles; The Tenor and the Boy is a
cross-dressing episode. Contents: Childhoods and Girlhoods; A
Maltese Miscellany; Development and Arrest of Development; The
Tenor and the Boy-An Interlude; Mrs. Kilroy of Ilverthorpe; and The
Impressions of Dr. Galbraith. Due to the age and scarcity of the
original we reproduced, some pages may be spotty, faded or
difficult to read.
