12-Jun-09 - Times Higher Education Praises Maria Graham: A Literary Biography

The Times Higher Education rates Regina Akel's Maria Graham: A Literary Biography as an achievement.

Maria Graham’s story is as remarkable as her work, and this biography not only narrates her life but also delves into the representation she made of herself in her published and unpublished journals, diaries, memoirs, and letters. The result of her endeavours is a literary persona that appears far removed from the controversial woman that she actually was.
