Unfinished Adventure, published in 1933, is Evelyn Sharp's
autobiography. It is a remarkable book recounting a remarkable
life. Born in 1869, Evelyn Sharp was the sister of the folk song
and dance expert, Cecil Sharp. A journalist, writer, pacifist and
suffragist, Evelyn Sharp writes vividly about all aspects of her
life: her school-days, Paris in 1890 , the Yellow Book, the
Manchester Guardian, her conversion to Suffragism, her imprisonment
in Holloway, her war work, her relief work in Germany and Russia in
the nineteen-twenties, and finally, in her own words, 'The Greatest
of All Adventures': the day she completed this book she married the
campaigning writer and journalist, H. W. Nevinson. A. S. Byatt has
described Evelyn Sharp as 'perspicacious, witty and a very good
writer.' Evelyn Sharp and her autobiography deserve to be better
known Faber Finds is very pleased to be reissuing An Unfinished
Adventure at the same time as the Manchester University Press
