Undine: With an Introduction by S. C. Cronwright-Schreiner

Originally published in 1929, "Undine" is a semi-autobiographical novel about life in colonial South Africa. Olive Schreiner (1855–1920) was a South African anti-war campaigner, intellectual, and author most famous for her highly-acclaimed novel “The Story of an African Farm” (1883), which deals with such issues as existential independence, agnosticism, individualism, and the empowerment of women. Other notable works by this author include: “Closer Union: a Letter on South African Union and the Principles of Government” (1909), and “Woman and Labour” (1911). Read & Co. Classics is proudly republishing this classic novel now in a new edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author and an Introduction by S. C. Cronwright-Schreiner.
