Sobre este artículo
New York: Harcourt, Brace and Company, 1956. Hardcover. First Edition (stated). Very Good book / no jacket. Interior pristine. Spine straight and sound. Corners and spine ends bumped. Fading to covers. No markings. xii + 337 pages.
This truly was a 'domestic' biography, documenting the life of Forster's great aunt. Marianne died in 1887, when Forster was aged eight, but his decision to focus upon her rather than one of his more publicly famous ancestors enabled him to emphasize the private implications of public life and give pride of place to the inner life. He was intrigued by the personality that emerged from the wealth of family archives he plundered during his research, and Marianne's longevity enabled him to draw a rounded portrait of public and private life from the Georgian England of unreformed parliaments to the year of Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee.
