		This book is the first full-length evaluation of du Maurier's fiction and the first critical study of du Maurier as a Gothic writer.
		Using the most recent work in Gothic and gender studies, the authors enter the current debate on the nature of female Gothic and raise questions about du Maurier's relationship to such a tradition.

		Drawing on hitherto unpublished private letters and papers, and with the co-operation of du Maurier's family, Margaret Forster explores the novelist's personal dramas: the stifling relationship with her father, Gerald du Maurier, her troubled marriage to war hero "Boy" Browning, her wartime love affair, and her deep friendship with the actress Gertrude Lawrence.
		Forster also looks behind the relaxed and charming facade to expose the workings of a complex and emotional character whose passionate and often violent stories possibly mirrored her own fantasy-life more than has been generally recognized.
		A highly recommended book to anyone wanting to know more about Daphne Du Maurier and her extremely fascinating life that reflects itself in her novels.
