Christina Stead Reader

Christina Stead has been described as one of the greatest living writers in the English language and has been compared to such widely differing authors as Daniel Defoe, D. H. Lawrence and Vladimir Nabokov. This volume of selections from her major works spans a distinguished career of over forty years. Beginning with her first book, The Salzburg Tales, and ending with her most recently published novel, Miss Herbert, this comprehensive sample demonstrates the richness and diversity of a writer of unique vision and power.
