About the Author
Genevieve Lloyd graduated with honours in Philosophy from the University of Sydney and holds BPhil and DPhil degrees from the University of Oxford. She was a Lecturer, and later a Senior Lecturer, in Philosophy at the Australian National University in Canberra, between 1967 and 1987, before holding the Chair of Philosophy at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, from 1987 to 2000. She is now an Emeritus Professor in Philosophy at the University of New South Wales. Her research has been mainly in history of philosophy--especially seventeenth and eighteenth century philosophy; feminist philosophy; and on the relations between philosophy and literature.
Reviews
There is so much more to enjoy in every chapter, with the introduction of so many other influences, particularly in her Conclusion chapter and even subsequently in an epilogue to match her Prologue, in which she gives some remarkably detailed commentary on those other influences as a guide to Further Reading chapter by chapter. * Joe Sinclair, Potential Unleashed *
The writing is consistently masterly and elegant, and there are innumerable particular insights about the works she examines. * Mark Collier, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews *
