Violet Hunt

-
Standard Name: Hunt, Violet
Birth Name: Isabel Violet Hunt
Pseudonym: Violet Herris
Known mainly as a popular novelist, VH also published book and theatre reviews, translations, short stories, non-fiction, memoirs, and a biography. Her publishing career covers the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Though often initially praised, her works began to fall out of print and critical favour during her lifetime. Readers are returning to her writing, however: critics such as Marie Secor , Kathryn Ledbetter , and Donald Mason have begun to focus particular attention on her exploration of women's personal and creative struggles in familial, artistic, and social contexts.
