Book Summary
An extraordinary book... Part Gothic fantasy, part emblematic progress through a dream world... It has a gripping hallucinogenic clarity - Snoo WilsonA trancelike feminist fable by Britains foremost surrealist painterCalcination. Putrefaction. Exaltation. Trapped on an enchanted island ruled by her uncle, a young woman must pass through the stages of alchemical transformation to escape. He wants to conquer death by magic - and she may pay the price for his ambition.Lushly visual, rife with symbols and cries from the unconscious, Colquhouns first novel is a surreal feminist fable, and a supreme artistic vision.Includes Hexentanz, a lost chapter from the original manuscript.Part of the Pushkin Press Classics series: timeless storytelling by icons of literature, hand-picked from around the globe.With a new introduction by Jennifer Higgie, author of The Other Side: A Journey Into Women, Art and the Spirit World.Ithell Colquhoun (1906-1988) was born in British India and brought up in the United Kingdom. She studied at the Slade School of Fine Art and started exhibiting her paintings in the 1930s, gaining some renown as one of the few women associated with British Surrealism. She began visiting Cornwall during the Second World War, and eventually moved there, continuing to write, paint, and pursue the study of the occult until her death. As well as her novel Goose of Hermogenes, she is the author of two travelogues, The Living Stones: Cornwall and The Crying of the Wind: Ireland, both forthcoming from Pushkin Press.
