Elizabeth Taylor: A look at the writer's life14 Apr 2006
Elizabeth Taylor - the writer that is - is still considered to be one of the hidden treasures of the English novel. Her shrewd but affectionate portrayals of middle-class English life won her a discriminating audience but she never quite got the recognition she deserved during her lifetime. Now thirty years after her death, some of her novels are about to be re-issued.

Martha examines the life and works of this often underrated author with Lynn Knightwriter, lecturer and editor of Dangerous Calm:The Collected Stories of Elizabeth Taylor and novelist Hilary Mantel.

Six of Elizabeth Taylor's novels are reissued on 20 April, published by Virago Press Ltd
