Editiorial Reviews

Review by A. S. Byatt (introduction): "She was wiser than she was clever, which is admirable; but by the time of writing THE PROFESSOR'S HOUSE she was an unobtrusively economical artist, too."
Review by Joan Acocella (WILLA CATHER & THE POLITICS OF CRIT, 2000): "[T]errifying....[H]er most profound book."
