Synopsis

Moore’s novel tells the story of Kate Ede, a bored Midlands housewife unhappily married to an asthmatic draper. When a handsome travelling actor comes to lodge with her family, she succumbs to temptation, with disastrous consequences.A Mummer’s Wife is a significant novel both in terms of its innovative style and in the history of literary censorship. Mudie’s decision to ban it from his famous circulating library prompted a virulent attack by Moore in his pamphlet Literature at Nurse. Moore defends the sexual content of his novel, comparing it with the sensation fiction approved by Mudie.This edition includes:* Preface by Moore’s most recent biographer, Adrian Frazier* Critical introduction and notes by Anthony Patterson* Author biography* The full text of Moore’s Literature at Nurse* A selection of contemporary reviews* Extracts from Moore’s Communication with Friends, in which he describes his first meeting with Henry Vizetelly and the evolution of A Mummer’s Wife* Moore’s preface to Zola’s Piping Hot!* Excerpt from the autobiography of Jimmy Glover, whose experiences as an actor influenced A Mummer’s Wife.
