A Second Volume of the exceptional, though often neglected, fiction of Violet Hunt
Violet Hunt was a British author who was notable for her early feminist principles, which led her to form the Women Writer's Suffrage League in 1908. Born in Durham in 1862, Hunt was the daughter of the artist, Alfred William Hunt and the novelist, Margaret Raine Hunt. When the family moved to London in 1865 it became part of the Pre-Raphaelite group including John Ruskin and William Morris. In keeping with many of her contemporaries Hunt wrote short stories, novels, and biographies, becoming an active feminist who authored works in the 'New Woman' genre. She remained unmarried, but had several affairs with older men, including Somerset Maugham, H. G Wells and a long-standing relationship with Ford Madox Ford. Hunt wrote two notable collections of supernatural stories, 'Tales of the Uneasy' and 'More Tales of the Uneasy'. Although her supernatural fiction output was not large and has possibly been neglected, its quality is and remains highly regarded by authorities on the genre. Violet Hunt died in 1942.
This Leonaur edition contains, the novella, 'The Corsican Sisters', and four short Stories including 'The Tiger-Skin' and 'The Cigarette Case of the Commander'.
