Books by CANNING RICHARD

'Brigid Brophy, uniquely significant in postwar British literary, cultural and public intellectual life, is also its most egregiously neglected genius. This astonishing volume - which, as befits its subject, is honest, multifaceted and exploding with critical and imaginative intelligence - does a great and necessary service to her legacy, and to the history of twentieth-century letters.' Robert McKay, University of Sheffield Celebrates Brigid Brophy's life's work, its diversity, originality and achievement This book explores all aspects of Brophy's literary career, alongside contributions on animal rights, vegetarianism, anti-vivisectionism, humanism, feminism and sexual politics, not only celebrating Brophy's eclectic achievements but fully reflecting them. Contributors include literary critics, animal rights activists, Brophy's daughter, Kate Levey, and Brophy herself. Richard Canning has taught English Literature at five UK universities, most recently as a Professor of British and American Literature. He is currently Visiting Professor at the University of Buckingham. Gerri Kimber is Visiting Professor in English at the University of Northampton, and Chair of the Katherine Mansfield Society.
