लेखक के बारे में
May Sinclair was the pseudonym of Mary Amelia St. Clair (1863 – 1946), a prolific British writer known for her novels, poetry, and literary criticism, and as an active suffragist. Sinclair’s foray into literature began with poetry and critical essays, but she soon established herself as a novelist with a particular interest in exploring the inner lives of her characters, a technique that prefaced the stream of consciousness style of writing. Her interest in psychology, particularly the works of Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung, influenced much of her fiction, with a notable exploration of the human psyche in works like ‘Mary Olivier: A Life’ and ‘Life and Death of Harriett Frean’. Sinclair also contributed to the field of modernist literature; ‘The Three Sisters’ is regarded as a significant work that grapples with issues of women’s independence and free will at the start of the 20th century. Her collection ‘Uncanny Stories’ delves into supernatural fiction, containing tales that fuse her psychological interests with explorations of the paranormal. Sinclair was regarded as an interpreter of modernist thought and was an active member of the Woman Writers’ Suffrage League. Her contributions to literature and feminist thought remain influential, rendering Sinclair a notable figure in the annals of early 20th-century British literature.
