Love
by the author of Elizabeth and The German Garden (Elizabeth Von Arnim).
Macmillan & Co, London, 1925.
First Edition hardback. 408 pp.
‘Elizabeth von Arnim (1866-1941) is perhaps Australia’s greatest literary export. Born in Kirribilli, she was extraordinarily successful in her lifetime, and was regularly compared to Jane Austen for her talent and wit. Yet, with the exception of those in on the secret, von Arnim’s novels have been almost entirely forgotten. … Steeped in languages, poetry, literature, and music, her intellect may have cowed unwitting conversationalists, but it also equipped her with a brilliance on the page that still feels fresh and original today.’
– Gemma Betros, Sydney Review of Books, 21 August 2021.
