Reviews

"Lou Andreas-Salome is best known for the company she kept... But Mr. Whitinger argues that Andreas-Salome's prominent roles as muse, lover, and collaborator overshadowed her own creative and critical work, much of it concerned with feminism and its discontents. His new translation of a cycle of novellas by Andreas-Salome, The Human Family: Stories, opens a door into this oft-neglected aspect of her life."-Richard Byrne, The Chronicle of Higher Education -- Richard Byrne Chronicle of Higher Education "This collection contributes to the rediscovery of her significance as a thinker and writer, above all with regard to her literary contribution to modern feminism and the principles of women's emancipation."-Annotated Books Received Annotated Books Received
