Sheila Kaye-Smith, Collection

Sheila Kaye-Smith (4 February 1887 – 14 January 1956) was an English writer, known for her many novels set in the borderlands of Sussex and Kent in the English regional tradition. Her 1923 book The End of the House of Alard became a best-seller, and gave her prominence; it was followed by other successes and her books enjoyed worldwide sales. Kaye-Smith’s novels straddle more than one genre of fiction. Her earliest novels partly fit into the ‘earthy’ rural category, together with that of Mary E Mann, Mary Webb, D.H. Lawrence, and Thomas Hardy, a genre which inspired Stella Gibbons’s parody “Cold Comfort Farm”. Kaye-Smith’s descriptions of the Sussex countryside, coast and marsh are still regarded as some of the finest. Several of her heroines become single parents and most face various gender-related trials, reflecting her early feminism as well as influences such as George Moore and Thomas Hardy. Kaye-Smith also produced many short stories, and journalism published in national journals, magazines and newspapers.
