Jade Munslow Ong is Associate Professor in World Literatures in English at the University of Salford, UK, and Principal Investigator on the AHRC-funded research project, South African Modernism 1880–2020. She is author of Olive Schreiner and African Modernism: Allegory, Empire and Postcolonial Writing (2018), and articles and chapters on colonial and postcolonial African literatures, animals and the environment in Victorian and world literatures, and decolonising pedagogies in Further Education. Jade is also a BBC/AHRC New Generation Thinker who appears in programmes on BBC Radio 3. Andrew van der Vlies is Professor in the Department of English, Creative Writing and Film at the University of Adelaide in Australia, and Extraordinary Professor at the University of the Western Cape, South Africa. A graduate of Rhodes and Oxford Universities, he is the author of essays and chapters on South African literatures, art history, gender studies and print cultures, and of the books Present Imperfect: Contemporary South African Writing (Oxford, 2017) and South African Textual Cultures (Manchester, 2007). He is co-editor of The Bloomsbury Handbook to J. M. Coetzee (with Lucy Graham, Bloomsbury, 2023) and South African Writing in Transition (with Rita Barnard, Bloomsbury, 2019), and editor of Zoë Wicomb's Race, Nation, Translation: South African Essays (Yale, 2018) and Print, Text, and Book Cultures in South Africa (Wits, 2012).

What emerges in this fifteen-essay collection (plus introduction) is a nuanced picture of the influence of other writers, thinkers, and political actors on Schreiner and the influence of Schreiner on others. [...] It is a treasure trove of original research and sharp readings, emphasizing cross-cultural exchange that I would unreservedly encourage any Schreiner scholar to explore.
