From the Publisher
Edith Sitwell (1887-1964) was, for four decades, the most prominent and celebrated woman poet in Britain. She counted among her many admirers Marianne Moore, Stephen Spender, and W.B. Yeats; after her death, she was eulogized by THE NEW YORK TIMES as "one of the great poets of the 20th century." This exhilarating collection includes unpublished letters to a remarkable array of notables, including Bertrand Russell, Gertrude Stein, Cecil Beaton, Kingsley Amis, T.S. Eliot, and Virginia Woolf. The cutting wit and stunning clarity of Sitwell's prose renders "Selected Letters" an important contribution to the canon of her literary works.
Review
"Her letters are a vital expression of that personality--witty, prickly, affectionate, kind, snobbish yet vulnerable, imaginative and often over-the-top." -- LITERARY REVIEW

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Edith Sitwell (1887-1964) was, through four decades, the most prominent and celebrated woman poet in Britain. Among the notable admirers of her work were Siegfried Sasson, W.B. Yeats, Gertrude Stein, Stephen Spender and Marianne Moore. Just after her death, Allen Tate described her in "The New York Times" as "one of the great poets of the 20th century". Edith and her two brothers, Osbert and Sacheverell, were the focus of a movement in English literature described as an "alternative Bloomsbury". This volume includes unpublished letters to many significant figures, including W.B. Yeats, Bertrand Russell and Benjamin Britten. It also contains letters that illuminate Sitwell's relations with other women writers, among them, Getrude Stein and Rosamond Lehmann. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR003504748
