The Romantic

The book highlights the life and contributions of May Sinclair, a prominent British writer known for her novels, short stories, and poetry. An active suffragist, she creatively promoted women's rights, even dressing as Jane Austen for a fundraising event. Sinclair's literary significance extends to her role as a critic, particularly in modernist poetry and prose, where she is credited with coining the term 'stream of consciousness' while reviewing Dorothy Richardson's work. Her multifaceted influence on literature and feminism is a central theme.
