Produktbeschreibung

In "The Immortal Moment," May Sinclair expertly weaves a psychologically rich narrative that delves into the nature of artistic inspiration and the ephemeral beauty of life. Set against the backdrop of the early 20th century, the novel employs a stream-of-consciousness style that intricately captures the inner thoughts of its characters, enhancing the reader's connection to their emotional arousal and existential dilemmas. Sinclair's exploration of the complexities of relationships and the quest for meaning echoes the sentiments of the Bloomsbury Group contemporaries while paving the way for the modernist literary movement. May Sinclair, a prominent figure in the early feminist literary movement, drew upon her own experiences and advocacy for women's rights to fuel her writing. Sinclair, a prolific author and intellectual, engaged deeply with themes of identity, psychology, and spirituality throughout her career. Her background as a suffragist and her keen interest in the human psyche undoubtedly influenced her portrayal of characters grappling with their ambitions and desires in "The Immortal Moment." This novel is highly recommended for readers seeking a profound exploration of the intersection between art, existence, and the inescapable passage of time. Sinclair'Äôs haunting prose invites contemplation and resonates with anyone pondering the significant moments that define their lives.

Autorenporträt

May Sinclair was the pseudonym of Mary Amelia St. Clair (1863 - 1946), a popular British writer who wrote about two dozen novels, short stories and poetry. She was an active suffragist and member of the Woman Writers' Suffrage League. May Sinclair was also a significant critic in the area of modernist poetry and prose and she is attributed with first using the term stream of consciousness in a literary context, when reviewing the first volumes of Dorothy Richardson's novel sequence Pilgrimage (1915-67), in The Egoist, April 1918. From 1896 Sinclair wrote professionally to support herself and her mother, who died in 1901. An active feminist, Sinclair treated a number of themes relating to the position of women and marriage. Her works sold well in the United States. Around 1913, at the Medico-Psychological Clinic in London, she became interested in psychoanalytic thought and introduced matter related to Sigmund Freud's teaching in her novels. In 1914, she volunteered to join the Munro Ambulance Corps, a charitable organization (which included Lady Dorothie Feilding, Elsie Knocker and Mairi Chisholm) that aided wounded Belgian soldiers on the Western Front in Flanders. She was sent home after only a few weeks at the front. Her 1913 novel The Combined Maze, the story of a London clerk and the two women he loves, was highly praised by critics, including George Orwell, while Agatha Christie considered it one of the greatest English novels of its time.
