(Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper) *** 'Dame Carmen Thérèse Callil, DBE, FRSL (15 July 1938 - 17 October 2022) was an Australian publisher, writer and critic who spent most of her career in the United Kingdom. She founded Virago Press in 1973 and received the Benson Medal from the Royal Society of Literature in 2017. She has been described by Gail Rebuck as "the most extraordinary publisher of her generation"'. From 1967 to 1970, she was publicity manager of the paperback imprint Panther Books. Callil later took responsibility for all imprints of Granada Publishing, and then at Anthony Blond and André Deutsch. She left to work for Ink, a countercultural newspaper founded by Richard Neville, Andrew Fisher, Felix Dennis and Ed Victor in 1971. At Ink, Callil met Marsha Rowe and Rosie Boycott, who founded the feminist magazine Spare Rib in June 1972. In 1973, Callil founded Virago Press (initially known as Spare Rib Books), to "publish books which celebrated women and women's lives, and which would, by so doing, spread the message of women's liberation to the whole population", through the work of new and neglected women writers. Rowe and Boycott became directors of Virago in its first years. At Virago, among other business and editorial aspects of the company she was responsible for the creation and development of the Virago Modern Classics list (choosing a distinctive green colour for the books' spines), which brought back into print many hundreds of the best women's works of the past.'

Lights flicker of their own accord. Sleep feels impossible, dreams are endless.

Taut, transfixing and profoundly moving 'Sisters' explodes with the fury and joy of adolescence.

Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Near Fine. 1st Edition. First edition, first impression with full number line. Some edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, corners slightly bruised, not price clipped (£20.00), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg+ copy. 802pp, illustrated, decorated endpapers. On 31 March 1836 the publishers Chapman & Hall launched the first issue of a new monthly periodical entitled 'The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club'. Conceived and created by the artist Robert Seymour, it contained four of his illustrations; the words to accompany them were written by a young journalist who used the pen name Boz. The story of a sporting cum drinking club presided over by plump loveable Mr Pickwick, assisted by his cockney manservant Sam Weller, 'The Pickwick Papers' soon became a popular sensation, outselling every other book except the Bible and Shakespeare's plays, and read and discussed by the entire population of the British Isles, from the duke's drawing room to the lowliest chophouse. The fame of Mr Pickwick soon spread worldwide, making 'The Pickwick Papers' the greatest literary phenomenon in publishing history. But one does not need to have read a single word of 'The Pickwick Papers' to be enthralled by the story of how this extraordinary novel came to be. The creation and afterlife of 'The Pickwick Papers' is the subject of Stephen Jarvis's novel, 'Death and Mr Pickwick'.This vast, intricately constructed, indeed Dickensian work is at once the ultimate homage to a much loved book, tracing its genesis and subsequent history in fascinating detail, and a damning indictment of how an ambitious young writer expropriated another man¿s ideas and then engaged in an elaborate cover up of 'The Pickwick Papers' true origins. The author's debut novel, a future classic. Jacket and illustrations by Robert Seymour (illustratore). …
