Michael Field, the renowned late-Victorian poet, was well known to be the pseudonym of Katharine Bradley (1846-1914) and her niece, Edith Cooper (1862-1913). Less well known is that for three decades, the women privately maintained a romantic relationship and kept a double diary, sharing the page as they shared a bed and eventually producing a 9,500-page, 29-volume story of love, life, and art in the fin de siècle. In this book, Carolyn Dever makes the case for this work as a great unknown 'novel' of the 19th century and as a bridge between George Eliot and Virginia Woolf, Victorian marriage plot and modernist experimentation.
