A Struggle for Fame

After the death of her mother and the loss of her family's fortune, it falls to young Glen Westley to do what she can for herself and her ailing father. Determined to make her own way in the world, she moves from the West of Ireland to London and works tirelessly to succeed as a novelist, despite the limitations her sex and nationality represent. Having struggled so long for fame, it is at last thrust upon her – but fame always comes at a price. A Struggle for Fame is a brilliant novel of astute and surprisingly familiar observations, still relevant over a century after it was first published. Gender, class, affluence and ability are all laid bare under the author's exacting eye. This is the first edition of Riddell's classic three-volume novel to be published in a single unabridged edition.
