These passionate dichotomies are intertwined in  her writing, giving a particular power to her fiction and non-fiction  alike. This collection is the first publication to offer a sense of the  diversity of Willa Muir''s oeuvre. It makes possible the re-evaluation of  her work and assures her of a deserved place in the Scottish literary  canon.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Canongate Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49406375592279,"sku":"9780862416058","price":17.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/imagined-selves-9780862416058","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
