Beyond This Limit : Selected Shorter Fiction Paperback / softback
by Naomi Mitchison
Edited by Isobel Murray
Illustrated by Wyndham Lewis
Part of the The Naomi Mitchison Library series
Paperback / softback
Description
Naomi Mitchison published her first novel, The Conquered, in 1923.
In her more than seventy succeeding books she has produced an extraordinary out-put, especially in the novel and the short story.
This selection of the shorter fiction is intended to illustrate her range and achievement over more than fifty years.
Beyond This Limit was the result of a unique co-operative partnership with illustrator Wyndham Lewis, and story and pictures are here first reproduced from the limited edition of 1935.
The other contents range from a story of the cave painters of Lascaux, through Mitchison's major fictional preoccupations, ancient Greece, Scotland, Africa, to a story of post-holocaust Scotland first published in 1982.
Central to all of them is a very individual intelligence constantly examining the politics of power in human relationships, including sexual ones.
Edited with an Introduction by Isobel Murray, Emeritus Professor of Modern Scottish Literature at the University of Aberdeen, Scotland.
