A Dame & Her History is a nuanced introduction to Dame Ivy Compton-Burnett: one of the most original voices of twentieth century literature. It traces the tragic losses and formative parental influences that shaped her life and work.
Drawing on biographies, reviews, interviews and personal recollections, it offers an intimate picture of Dame Ivy as an enigmatic, formidable writer and complex woman, whose unsparing vision of human behaviour remains strikingly relevant today.
