Olive Schreiner

Olive Schreiner (1855–1920) was a South African novelist whose Story of an African Farm broke open colonial fiction with a girl's hunger for thought, faith, and independence on the veld. She wrote of gender, empire, and the inner life without softening the landscape. One novel in our catalogue, and it still reads like a first door into a harder, larger Africa.
