Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. Illustrated. A NEW YORK TIMES EDITORS CHOICE LONGLISTED FOR THE BAILLIE GIFFORD PRIZE A beautiful and deeply moving book.-Sally Rooney, author of Normal PeopleAn engrossing group portrait of five women writers, including Virginia Woolf, who moved to Londons Mecklenburgh Square in search of new freedom in their lives and work.NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY POPMATTERSI like this London life . . . the street-sauntering and square-haunting.-Virginia Woolf, diary, 1925In the early twentieth century, Mecklenburgh Square-a hidden architectural gem in the heart of London-was a radical address. On the outskirts of Bloomsbury known for the eponymous group who lived in squares, painted in circles, and loved in triangles, the square was home to students, struggling artists, and revolutionaries.In the pivotal era between the two world wars, the lives of five remarkable women intertwined at this one address: modernist poet H. D., detective novelist Dorothy L. Sayers, classicist Jane Harrison, economic historian Eileen Power, and author and publisher Virginia Woolf. In an era when womens freedoms were fast expanding, they each sought a space where they could live, love, and-above all-work independently.With sparkling insight and a novelistic style, Francesca Wade sheds new light on a group of artists and thinkers whose pioneering work would enrich the possibilities of womens lives for generations to come.Praise for Square HauntingA fascinating voyage through the lives of five remarkable women . . . moving and immersive.-Edmund Gordon, author of The Invention of Angela Carter: A BiographyElegant, erudite, and absorbing, Square Haunting is a startlingly original debut, and Francesca Wade is an author to watch.-Frances Wilson, author of Guilty Thing: A Life of Thomas De QuinceyOutstanding . . . Ill be recommending this all year.-Sarah Bakewell, author of At the Existentialist CaféI much enjoyed Francesca Wade's book. It almost made me wish I belonged to the pioneering generation of women spoiling eggs on the gas ring and breaking taboos.-Sue Prideaux, author of I Am Dynamite! A Life of Friedrich Nietzsche.
