The Dancing Faun

Description

The Dancing Faun is a humorous novel in an 1890s Wildean style. Rebel Satori’s new hardcover edition is completely re-typeset and not a simple scanned facsimile edition.

Florence Farr was a popular actress, women’s rights activist, author, and an initiate of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. She was a collaborator of Oscar Wilde, Audrey Beardsley (who drew the frontispiece), A.E. Waite, and W. B. Yeats.

Farr was an early feminist of the late 19th and early 20th centuries; she publicly advocated for suffrage, as well as women’s equality in the workplace and under the law for women.
