Sylvia Constance Ashton-Warner MBE (17 December 1908 28 April 1984) was a New Zealand writer, poet and educator. She spent many years teaching Maori children, using stimulating and often pioneering techniques which she wrote about in her 1963 treatise Teacher and in the various volumes of her autobiography. Her success derived from a commitment to "releasing the native imagery and using it for working material" and her belief that communication must produce a mutual response in order to effect a lasting change. As a novelist, she produced several works mostly centred on strong female characters. Her novel Spinster (1958) was made into the 1961 film Two Loves (also known as The Spinster) starring Shirley MacLaine. She was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire, for services to education and literature, in the 1982 Queen's Birthday Honours.…

Mary Shelley wrote this story for Laurette, the daughter of her friend and fellow exile in Italy in 1820, but when she sent it to her publisher, William Godwin, he declared it too short and the story and all copies of the manuscript disappeared and had been thought lost. But one copy was rediscovered in 1997, in a country house in Tuscany. This Viking edition therefore is the very first publication of Maurice: it provides the full text, including a number of changes, deletions and errors made by the author, with a substantial introduction by Claire Tomalin, the author of a substantial biography of Mary Shelley's mother, Mary Wollstonecraft, in which the significance of the story is explored.…
