The Early Work of Daphne du Maurier
What was Daphne du Maurier's first work, before her award-winning novels Rebecca, My Cousin Rachel and Jamaica Inn? It was a short novel written at her Hampstead Heath home, Cannon Hall, called The Seekers. Seemingly influenced by J. M. Barrie's Tommy and Grizell (1900) and her father Gerald du Maurier, this work was very mature for Daphne's age. The Seekers probes dark themes present in du Maurier's life at the time.
