About this recording
Helen and Olivia Rossetti were rather precocious girls in Victorian London. While still extremely young, they published a renowned anarchist journal in their home which drew prominent figures to their salon. From their expriences, they co-authored this 1903 novel, in which the narrator, Isabel Meredith, reveals a first-hand inside account of the countercultural community of late-19th century British anarchism. This was certainly far outside the normal purview of the women of Victorian society. (Summary by Lynette Caulkins)
