The first edition of Dolores was published in 1911. It sold well, and was promptly forgotten. Now that her job of sixty years is concluded, and her long achievements more and more acclaimed, Dolores, located at that remote control beginning, is curiously reborn. Ivy Compton-Burnett (1884-1969) was a contemporary of Virginia Woolf, who composed in her diary of how her own writing was 'much inferior to the bitter truth and powerful originality of Neglect Compton-Burnett.' Ivy Compton Burnett's own tragic experience of family life provided a few of the material drew on as a novelist. Her books are about money, ability, position, incest, adultery, murder, homosexuality, about which she was years before her time, and everything the passions and stresses of family life, detailed with outstanding wit and conception.
