Brigid Brophy cover

Celebrates Brigid Brophy’s life’s work, its diversity, originality and achievement The first critical book on Brigid Brophy covering all her interests from literature, music and art to animal rights and political activismIncludes previously unpublished written and illustrated material by BrophyContributions from leading literary scholars, biographers, creative writers and activistsThis book explores all aspects of Brophy’s literary career, alongside contributions on animal rights, vegetarianism, anti-vivisectionism, humanism, feminism and sexual politics, not only celebrating Brophy’s eclectic achievements but fully reflecting them. Contributors include literary critics, animal rights activists, Brophy’s daughter, Kate Levey, and Brophy herself.

Brigid Brophy, uniquely significant in postwar British literary, cultural and public intellectual life, is also its most egregiously neglected genius. This astonishing volume--which, as befits its subject, is honest, multifaceted and exploding with critical and imaginative intelligence--does a great and necessary service to her legacy, and to the history of twentieth-century letters. -- Robert McKay, University of Sheffield
