Appearing here together for the first time in English, in an exquisite translation by Brian Stableford, are the two markedly different novels issued by Renée Vivien under the title of A Woman Appeared to Me.
First published in 1904 and 1905, these masterpieces of symbolist fiction
recount Vivien’s obsessive, torturing love affairs, most especially
with the American writer Natalie Clifford Barney. Originally received
with hostility due to their fervent championship of lesbianism, these
highly sophisticated specimens of poetic prose, which offer an unusual
combination of delicacy and fervor, economy and flamboyance, today can
be seen as groundbreaking, and quite unparalleled, confessions of the
pain and despair of intense amour.
