Susan Sellers

Her most recent novel Firebird is about the Russian dancer Lydia Lopokova, her love affair and marriage to British economist John Maynard Keynes, and her relationship with the Bloomsbury Group.

While in Paris, Sellers became involved with leading French feminist writers, and has written on their work, for example, Language and Sexual Difference (Macmillan, 1995).

Myth and Fairy Tale in Contemporary Women's Fiction (Palgrave, 2001)[8] is an investigation into the ongoing resonance of myth and fairy tale for contemporary women's fiction, drawing on material by Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung, Bruno Bettelheim, Roland Barthes, Jack Zipes and Marina Warner, as well as French feminists Hélène Cixous, Luce Irigaray and Julia Kristeva, to read works by such writers as A. S. Byatt, Angela Carter, Anne Rice, Michèle Roberts, Emma Tennant and Fay Weldon.

In addition to co-directing the project, Sellers also co-edited Virginia Woolf's The Waves (with Michael Herbert) [10] and co-wrote the 'Introduction' to Jacob's Room with Stuart N. Clarke.

It has been translated into 16 languages, including Chinese, Japanese and Persian, and was adapted for the stage by Elizabeth Wright and directed by Emma Gersch in 2009.
