Catherine Cookson by Kathleen Jones
Few authors have had a life as traumatic as Dame Catherine Cookson. Her recent death allows at last a frank and full account of her remarkable life, enhanced by her own autobiographical writing hitherto unseen.Catherine Cookson's story is as dramatic as any of her best-selling novels. Born in 1906, the illegitimate daughter of a servant, she was brought up in the slums of Tyneside. Her childhood was marred by violence, abuse, alcoholism and shame. Determined to escape her situation Catherine made her way out of the poverty trap by writing it all out. Her novels became a new genre and her legendary success is conrasted here with a fuller, darker picture of her life.
Glorious Fame: The Life of Margaret Cavendish, Duchess of Newcastle and Learning Not to Be First: The Life of Christina Rossetti are both written by Kathleen Jones.
