George Egerton emerged as a pivotal "New Woman" writer and feminist author of the fin de siècle. Her stylistic innovations and radical subject matter cemented her place among the era's most influential literary voices. Egerton's experimental approach to form and content foreshadowed the modernist techniques of writers like James Joyce and D. H. Lawrence. Her work, which also influenced Thomas Hardy, is notably credited with the first mention of Friedrich Nietzsche in English literature.
Hunger is regarded as one of the major modernist novels, anticipating and influencing much fiction that was to follow, from Joyce and Kafka to Camus and Kelman. Set in Oslo, Hunger is a compelling journey into the mind of a young writer who is driven by starvation to constantly fluctuating extremes of euphoria and despair. It is a study of the psychological hinterlands - the very edges of experience - where few writers have the courage to tread.
