Synopsis
Anne Ridler's first book, Poems, was published in 1939. Her poetry developed in the light and shadow of the poets of the day - MacNeice and Auden, but also Durrell and Watkins. As important is a deep affinity with the secular and devotional writers of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Ambitious for her poems, she was never ambitious for reputation. Like that of her friend E.J. Scovell, her work has not received proper recognition until now.
She has published ten collections of poems, original and translated opera libretti, including Monteverdi's Orfeo. She is the author of verse plays which have been performed in Oxford and London. This collection contains all that she wishes to preserve from her volumes of lyric poetry, together with the choruses from the play, The Trial of Thomas Cranmer, and a masque for music by Elizabeth Maconchy, The Jesse Tree.
