Rushforth, Peter

Pinkerton's sister Peter Rushforth - London Scribner 2004 - 729 p. 24 cm.

Shakespeare, Oscar Wilde, Michelangelo, Whitman, Poe, they are her inspiration: Jane Eyre, Catherine Moreland, Desdemona, they are her companions. As as she moves about the witless world around her, observing their prejudices, their shallow culture, their snobbery, their vanity, it is they who prompt her observations, as she views them all through the prisms of the art that has sustained and nourished her lonely life.
