1979, hardcover edition, University of Texas Press, Austin, TX. 140-page critical overview of the writer. In 1974, in a review, Jean Rhys was called "quite simply the best living English novelist." The author died in 1979 and her life is examined in this interesting title. Rhys, like many writers, was not an instant success and here is an overview of her career and her later critical and popular recognition. She was a careful writer who produced a small body of work that is much admired.
