The Creators

May Sinclair’s ambitious novel explores the lives, loves, and rivalries of a circle of writers, probing the tension between art and love, genius and domestic life, especially for women who aspire to create. With psychological subtlety and a modern sensibility, Sinclair examines what it costs to be an artist and how creative ambition collides with the demands of the heart. A pioneering figure who coined the literary use of ‘stream of consciousness,’ she brings real insight to the inner lives of her characters. Intelligent and absorbing, The Creators is a rewarding novel about the making of art and the sacrifices it demands, from an important early modernist writer.
