Undefined Boundary - Daughters of Psychick Albion

The next issue of Undefined Boundary, Volume Two, Issue One, edited by Cormac Pentecost, has the theme of ‘Daughters of Psychick Albion’ and celebrates women artists, authors and visionaries. It is due out at Hallowe’en but pre-orders are available now.

In this issue, Rosemary Pardoe, the founding editor of Ghosts & Scholars and anthologist of Jamesian ghost stories, contributes an essay on ‘Gwendolen McBryde: Ever in the Shadow’.  Her subject edited the letters she and her sister Jane received from M R James, as Letters to a Friend (1956), but there was much more to her than that, and here Rosemary discusses her life and work.

Other contributions include Hazel Smoczynska on The Curious Case of Gladys Mitchell’ (on the redoubtable crime writer who often included folklore and witchcraft motifs in her work), Lally Macbeth on ‘Ithell Colquhoun: Following the Ancient Scent’, Sally Huxtable on ‘"Many Wonderous Revelations": In the Footsteps of Three Daughters of Psychick Norfolk’ and much more.

The journal is an A5 perfect bound paperback book, and this issue offers approx. 120pp.
