The Damsel and the Sage

Set in the early 20th century, this romantic fiction explores themes of desire and attraction, characteristic of Elinor Glyn's pioneering style. The author, known for her risqué narratives, delves into the complexities of relationships and the allure of magnetism between characters. Glyn, who began her writing career in 1900, contributed significantly to the genre, later popularizing concepts like 'It' to describe irresistible charm. This edition includes a new introductory biography, providing insight into her life and literary impact.
