The Housman family produced a dynasty of talented writers and artists, and Clemence, whose name has unfairly fallen into obscurity, produced novels that drew praise from the leading luminaries of the literary world.

Drawing on folk-tale imagery, her 1896 short novel The Werewolf is an erotic fantasy and atmospheric tale featuring a female werewolf – perhaps drawing to an extent on Clemence’s ‘other’ life as a women’s suffrage activist. This stirring and fascinating work, once singled out for praise by the likes of H.P. Lovecraft, brings the text back into print for the first time in decades, ready for a new readership.

About the author

Clemence Housman (1861–1955) was an author and illustrator, perhaps eclipsed in fame by her brothers A.E. Housman and Laurence Housman, best remembered today as an activist in the women’s suffrage movement. She wrote several novels, including The Werewolf, Unknown Sea and The Life of Sir Aglovale De Galis, all of which have sadly fallen into obscurity in the intervening years.
