Audrey Craven was first published in 1897 by William Blackwood and Sons in England. Between the journal and book publishing, Blackwood and Sons would release writings by some of the most renowned novelists of the nineteenth century, including George Eliot and Joseph Conrad. Audrey Craven was Sinclairs debut novel, released more than a decade after the publication of her first poetry collection. Throughout the 1880s and 1890s, Sinclair was forced to dedicate much of her time to working as a translator in order to financially support herself and her aging mother. She was left with little time and few opportunities to pursue a creative career at that point in her life.

The novel centres on a beautiful young woman, the eponymous Audrey Craven, who has managed to cultivate an entirely undeserved reputation for originality. Rather than being unique or original, she is in fact a shallow, self-centred and solipsistic heroine, whose only desire is to become a muse to a great artist or thinker. The Victorian author George Gissing, perhaps best known for his 1881 novel, New Grub Street , was a great admirer of the novel. He praised the prose and the tight construction of the plot as well as the characterisation and tone of the work.

CHAPTER I

E VERYBODY KNEW THAT Miss Audrey Craven was the original of Laura the heroine - photo 22

E VERYBODY KNEW THAT Miss Audrey Craven was the original of Laura, the heroine of Langley Wyndhams masterpiece. She first attracted the attention of that student of human nature at Oxford, at a dinner given by her guardian, the Dean of St. Benedicts, ostensibly in honour of the new Master of Lazarus, in reality for his wards entertainment and instruction in the bewildering art of life.

It was thunder-weather. Out of doors, a hot and sleepy air hung over the city; indoors, the forecast was no less heavy and depressing. Not so, however, to Miss Audrey Craven. The party was large and mixed; and to the fresh, untutored mind of a tyro, this in itself was promising. The Dean pursued the ruinous policy of being all things to all men; and to-night, together with nonentities and Oxonians of European renown, there was a sprinkling of celebrities from the outside world. Among these were Mr. Langley Wyndham, the eminent novelist, and his friend Mr. Percival Knowles, the critic who had helped him to his eminence. Having collected these discordant elements around him, the Dean withdrew from the unequal contest, and hovered, smiling ineffectually, on the outskirts of his little chaos. Perhaps he tried to find comfort in a conscience satisfied for a party spoiled. But for Audrey this wild confusion was rich in possibility. However baffling to those officially responsible, it offered a wider field for individual enterprise; and if she did not possess that fine flow of animal spirits which sometimes supports lesser minds under such circumstances, she had other qualities which stood her in good stead. Conspicuous amongst these was an indomitable moral courage. She prepared to hurl herself into the breach.
