Janet Todd (Don't You Know There's a War On?. Jane Austen's Sanditon, Radiation Diaries, Aphra Behn: A Secret Life, A Man of Genius, Mary Wollstonecraft), a founding feminist, is a former president of Lucy Cavendish College, Cambridge. Born in Wales, she grew up in Britain, Bermuda and Ceylon/Sri Lanka and worked in Ghana, Puerto Rico, India, the US, Glasgow, Aberdeen, Cambridge and Norwich. She lives in Cambridge and Venice.

"A beautiful book - a true treat and gift. Todd gives us an allusive dialogue of the living in vivid conversation with the illustrious dead. The voices of her learned, witty, aging twenty-first-century characters-like present-day Mrs. Dalloways going about their business in provocative daily routines-bring new life to the great authors of the past. This is a beautiful, moving novel of playful experimentation, gorgeous image, and brilliantly irreverent juxtaposition." Devoney Looser, Professor of English, Arizona State, author of The Making of Jane Austen.
