"In 1906 Edith Holden began a series of notes which, when published in 1977 as The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady, captured the imagination of the reading public and became a best-seller around the world. Now, in The Edwardian Lady, Ina Taylor brings together a unique collection of photographs, paintings, and mementos of the Holden family, as well as excerpts from Edith's own lively correspondence and highlights from Country Diary that tell the story of her life and the background against which she developed her talents. In the new and exciting industrial center of Birmingham in the last years of the Victorian age, the remarkable Holden family participated to the fullest in the expanding artistic and cultural life of the city, where William Morris and Walter Crane were contemporaries. From there, Edith journeyed to Scotland to study with the painter Joseph Denovan Adam and to Dartmoor in Devon, where she came closest to the wild life and natural surroundings that played such an important part in her life and work. Finally settling in the Chelsea area of London, she married the sculptor Ernest Smith and continued to paint and illustrate until her tragic death by drowning in 1920. Beautifully illustrated and richly detailed, The Edwardian Lady is the perfect companion volume for all devotees of The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady." - from the inner front jacket flap.…
