Description
Olive Schreiner's landmark novel, a South African classic, takes place in the rural Karoo towards the end of the 19th century.
The Story of an African Farm evokes the bleakness and beauty of the arid landscape, which forms the backdrop for the stories of Lyndall and Waldo, unlikely soul mates whose lives reflect their frustrated quest for a better reality and their dreams of self-fulfillment. Originally published in 1883 under the pseudonym Ralph Iron, the novel caused a sensation when its author was revealed to be a woman.
Victorian readers were intrigued by the novel's forthright feminism and sensitivity to all forms of oppression.
An informative introduction by literary scholar Cherry Clayton discusses the literary, cultural and philosophical background to the novel.
