Naomi Mitchison published her first novel, The Conquered, in 1923.
In her more than seventy succeeding books she has produced an
extraordinary out-put, especially in the novel and the short story.
This selection of the shorter fiction is intended to illustrate her
range and achievement over more than fifty years. Beyond This Limit
was the result of a unique co-operative partnership with
illustrator Wyndham Lewis, and story and pictures are here first
reproduced from the limited edition of 1935. The other contents
range from a story of the cave painters of Lascaux, through
Mitchison's major fictional preoccupations, ancient Greece,
Scotland, Africa, to a story of post-holocaust Scotland first
published in 1982. Central to all of them is a very individual
intelligence constantly examining the politics of power in human
relationships, including sexual ones. Edited with an Introduction
by Isobel Murray, Emeritus Professor of Modern Scottish Literature
at the University of Aberdeen, Scotland.
