This volume gathers together some of the real and the imagined
lives of Willa Muir, one of the finest and fiercest intellectuals
of her generation. Her writing is rich with paradox - although
obsessively Scottish in subject and style, she resented Scotland;
although a trenchant champion of feminism, she voluntarily
sacrificed her identity to that of the 'poet's wife'; and although
she was a committed reformer, she never aligned herself with any
political or ideological movement. These passionate dichotomies are
intertwined in her writing, giving a particular power to her
fiction and non-fiction alike. This collection is the first
publication to offer a sense of the diversity of Willa Muir's
oeuvre. It makes possible the re-evaluation of her work and assures
her of a deserved place in the Scottish literary canon.
