About This Item

London: Jonathan Cape, 1996.. 1st edition. "Altered States is a forceful exploration of the conflicting needs of men and women, and the lack of understanding which divides them. Powerfully written and rich in perception, Anita Brookner's portrait of moral vulnerability and loss of innocence is an extraordinary achievement." Pp.220. Tan cloth, minor water-staining to rear board, dustwrapper has water-damage rippling to rear. G+/G+.

Synopsis

Anita Brookner was born in London in 1928. She received a B.A. from King's College, University of London, and a Ph.D. in the history of art from the Courtauld Institute. Brookner taught at the University of Reading from 1959 to 1964, and since 1967 has been a Lecturer in Art History at the Courtauld. From 1967 to 1968 she was Slade Professor at Cambridge, the first woman to hold that position. Since her first novel was published in 1981, Brookner has had a dual career as an art historian and a novelist. She has been remarkably successful in both fields and has published fourteen novels in as many years. Hotel du Lac , her fourth novel, won the Booker Prize, England's highest honor for fiction.
