Diana of the Crossways retells a tale that may well have been true: Although Meredith was forced to attach a disclaimer to the novel, it was no secret when he wrote the book that he was writing about the life of Caroline Norton, granddaughter of playwright Richard Brinsley Sheridan. Unhappily married, the woman ("Diana"), takes a lover -- and becomes suspect when someone reveals an important political secret that she, as lover, was party to. A compelling study of a woman and her times. The heroine Diana Warwick says: "we women are the verbs passive of the alliance, we have to learn and if we take to activity, with the best intentions we conjugate a frightful disturbance. We are to run on lines like the steam-trains, or we come to no station, dash to fragments. I have the misfortune to know I was born an active. I take my chance." The Wonderful Adventures of Nils -- which is the work of Sweden's greatest fiction writer -- was first published in Stockholm, in December, 1906. Lagerlof wrote it after a commission from the National Teachers' Association to write a reader for the public schools. With no small success; the book immediately became the most popular book of the year in Scandinavia. Selma Ottilia Lovisa Lagerlöf was the first female writer to win the Nobel Prize in Literature.

Autorenporträt
Selma Lagerlöf was a pioneering Swedish author, celebrated for her unique storytelling and profound connection to Swedish folklore. She made history as the first woman to win the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1909 and was also the first woman admitted to the Swedish Academy in 1914. Lagerlöf's debut novel, Gösta Berling's Saga, marked the start of her successful literary career. Her works often combine elements of the supernatural with deep emotional and moral exploration. She is known for her ability to transform ordinary stories into profound tales, full of imagination and humanity. Many of her works, including The Wonderful Adventures of Nils, emphasize themes of personal growth, respect for nature, and the importance of kindness. Lagerlöf's writing continues to resonate due to her rich blend of realism and fantasy, and her love for Sweden's landscapes. Her impact on literature, both in Sweden and internationally, remains significant, as her stories continue to inspire readers with their timeless messages of empathy and transformation.
