Hardback. Condition: Good. In her poetry, fiction, essays and public statements, Laura Riding tackled an extraordinary range of controversial and topical issues. In her personal relationships she was often at the centre of a circle of friends and artists, as diverse as Gertrude Stein, Edmund Wilson, Hart Crane and Robert Penn Warren, whose activities she inspired and sometimes controlled. During a long affair with Robert Graves, she was the muse of his best work. Together they launched the New Criticism. Laura Riding, who died in 1991 at the age of 90, was a deeply divided woman whose ability to create a personal mythology and continually re-imagine herself could be astonishing. The frequent subject of outrageous rumour and intense controversy, she has been portrayed as a megalomaniac, a sexual libertine, a femme fatale, even a witch. In this biography, the author considers Laura Riding in the context of her background, her times and her work and removes the layers of conjecture and bias that have distorted her life, reputation and scale of achievement. …

Paperback. Condition: Good. Gertrude Stein and Laura Riding enjoyed a fascinating if brief three-year friendship via correspondence between 1927 and 1930, and in A Description of Acquaintance, Logan Esdale and Jane Malcolm make the letters available to a larger audience for the first time. Riding and Stein are important figures in twentieth-century poetry and poetics and are considered progenitors of later movements such as L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E poetry. The editors contextualize their relationship and its time period with an introduction; annotations to the letters; and supplementary materials, including pieces by Stein and Riding that exemplify their singular perspectives on modernism as well as their personal poetics. The book provides unique insight into Stein's and Riding's writing processes as well as the larger literary world around them, making it a must-read for anyone interested in twentieth-century poetry.…
