May Sinclair, the pseudonym for Mary Amelia St. Clair (1863–1946), stands as a significant literary figure in early twentieth-century British literature. She made substantial contributions as a novelist, poet, and critic. Born on August 24, 1863, in Rock Ferry, Cheshire, Sinclair was the youngest of six children. Her upbringing was marked by the financial and emotional decline of her family after her father’s death. Educated at home, she embraced literary pursuits from a young age. Sinclair’s ‘The Immortal Moment’ exemplifies her nuanced narrative style and her exploration of philosophical and psychological themes, showcasing her role in the emergence of stream of consciousness as a narrative technique. Sinclair was a contemporary of the imagist poets and a supporter of the suffragette movement, which imbue her works with elements of early feminism. Beyond fiction, she is also noted for her analysis of the works of the Brontë sisters, evidencing a keen literary intellect with a propensity for introspection and social critique. Moreover, Sinclair’s involvement with the Society for Psychical Research reflects her interest in the intersection of psychology and literature.
