The lives and achievements of eight women writers - a startling and unconventional history of literature
Anna píše o tématech, která ji zajímají, a doufá, že zaujmou i ostatní čtenáře. Její tvorba spojuje dlouholeté zájmy o hudbu, psaní, životy žen v minulosti a podmínky pro vznik „velkého umění“. Kromě psaní se věnuje výuce literatury a tvůrčího psaní a pravidelně vystupuje na přednáškách a v médiích. Její blog odhaluje i další vášně, jako je cyklistika, dobré jídlo a víno, a cestování vlakem po městech.



The lives and achievements of eight women writers - a startling and unconventional history of literature
The hidden history of the women who dared to write music in a man's world
John Milton was one of the world's greatest poets, the renowned author of Paradise Lost. But he was also deeply involved in political and religious controversies of his time, and authored a series of radical pamphlets on free speech, divorce, and civil rights that proposed a rethinking of the nature and practice of government. In countless biographies, Milton has been crudely sketched either as a blind, saintly artist or as a domestic tyrant. Yet as Anna Beer shows, he was neither ogre nor paragon. By closely examining all aspects of Milton's life and its social historical context, Beer succeeds in bringing an enigmatic pillar of English literature to life, four centuries after his birth.
