Emily Midorikawa & Emma Claire Sweeney. A SECRET SISTERHOOD: The Literary Friendships of Jane Austen, Charlotte Bronte, George Eliot and Virginia Woolf. Houghton Mifflin, 2017.
An interesting four essays, well-researched and documented, about female friends each writer cultivated. I am least convinced of the picture drawn of Katherine Mansfield. She sounds mean-spirited and back-stabbing to me. Although the dangers of a small literary community where friends and rivals review each other.s work is still relevant.
