Challenge (1923) is a novel by Vita Sackville-West. While she is
most widely recognized as the lover of English novelist Virginia
Woolf, Sackville-West was a popular and gifted poet, playwright,
and novelist in her own right. A prominent lesbian and bohemian
figure, Sackville-West was also the daughter of an English Baron,
granting her a unique and often divided perspective on life in the
twentieth century. "After spending nearly two years in exile,
Julian was once more upon his way to Herakleion." A man of fate,
Julian Davenant was born into a wealthy English family on the
island of Herakleion. Rather than continue the legacy of
colonialism, Davenant-a Byronic hero-dreams of independence for the
people of Greece, and eventually finds himself at the center of a
revolutionary plot. As his political star rises, his love affair
with the beautiful Eve catches fire, plunging Julian into a world
of passion and danger. Known for her tumultuous, heated affairs
with men and women alike, Sackville-West is an artist whose works
so often mirror her life. With a beautifully designed cover and
professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Vita
Sackville-West's Challenge is a classic of English literature
reimagined for modern readers.
