Influences


Mary Williamina Findlater (1865 - 1963) was a Scottish novelist. She was a daughter of a minister of the Free Church of Scotland and the elder sister of Jane Findlater.

Findlater wrote novels and poetry both alone (Songs and Sonnets, 1895; Betty Musgrave, 1899; A Narrow Way, 1901; The Rose of Joy, 1903; and others) and together with Jane (Tales That Are Told, 1901; Beneath the Visiting Moon, 1923; etc.), with whom she lived until the latter's death in 1946. Their best-known and most widely admired collaboration is the novel Crossriggs (1908), re-issued in 1986 by Virago Press.

“A man can never be as rude as he feels, which is one of the drawbacks of civilisation.”
Mary Findlater, The Affair at the Inn

“(she told me her name, though she might have seen, I am sure, that I was simply dying not to know it)”
Mary Findlater, The Affair at the Inn

“It is one of the curious effects of a too passionate imaginative nature that its forebodings outrun time. So that often when the dreaded circumstance really arrives, it seems as nothing compared to the hours of imaginative misery that went before, as a line that has already burnt will stop a prairie fire.”
Mary Findlater, Crossriggs
