Muriel Jaeger


Born
in Barnsley, Yorkshire, The United Kingdom
May 23, 1892

Died
November 21, 1969


Though critical response ultimately led her to stop publishing, Oxford-educated writer Muriel Jaeger (1892-1969) made her mark with dynamic critiques of modern Western civilization. From the paranormal (Hermes Speaks, 1933) to utopia (The Question Mark, 1926) to genetic engineering (Retreat from Armageddon, 1936), Jaeger brought a unique voice to the struggles of subjectivity and scientific reason that shook the post-Victorian mindset. Her works are often referenced and rarely found.
