Abstract

dc:description

"Anna Banti is an author who testifies to an enduring commitment to women in the arts. Throughout her extensive body of fiction, women's confining roles are allowed to expand beyond the physical and emotional boundaries of their realities, finding in the ""Spirit of creativity"" a restless, universal force that contains the essence of art."
