Stickers/Labels: None visible. This curated anthology of correspondence presents the brilliant and often acerbic voice of Dame Edith Sitwell, one of the twentieth century's most distinctive and flamboyant literary figures. Edited by John Lehmann and Derek Parker, the collection chronicles Sitwell's rich intellectual and personal life through letters written to friends, fellow writers, and contemporaries, including T.S. Eliot, Dylan Thomas, and Evelyn Waugh. The tone is sharp, witty, and deeply personal, offering an unfiltered window into the mind of a poet who argued passionately for the avant-garde and refused to be constrained by convention. Each letter illustrates her formidable personality - her generosity, her feuds, her fierce aesthetic convictions - painting a vivid portrait of British literary culture across several decades. A treasure for admirers of modernist literature and those fascinated by the private lives of great writers. Hardback.…

Only two out of the twenty contributions in that volume were poetry, but during the ten years which have elapsed since then poetry has played a far greater and more important role, both in the six-monthly volumes published as books and in the more frequent volumes of "The Penguin New Writing" which began in 1941. Nearly all the significant poets of these years appeared in the pages of "New Writing", some of them for the first time and many with poems which are considered among their most memorable. "New Writing" has always been specially interested in those poems which are a mirror of the stormy epoch in which they are written; in translations from modern European poets; and in poems which are not too long for the average weekly or monthly; all these characteristics will be found in the present anthology, which stands also for judgement as a record of one man's taste and the encouragement he endeavoured to give to the making of poetry--to the building of dykes,--during ten years of flood weather.'
