Paperback. Condition: Fine. Proof Copy. EDITH SITWELL Selected Letters. Edited by John lehmann & Derek Parker. Macmillan & Co ltd., London 1970 Uncorrected Proof Copy 254pp Proof Copy. This copy is bound in publisher's original terracotta card covers with black titling to the front, the text block is bright, white, tight and square and appears unread. 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 Sassoon, WB Yeats and 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 twentieth century'. Even as one allows for the ebb and flow of literary reputations, Edith Sitwell will have permanent claim on the attention of readers and literary scholars. She 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 This volume includes unpublished letters to many significant figures, including WB Yeats, Bertrand Russell and Benjamin Britten. It also contains letters that illuminate Sitwell's relations with other women writers, among them, Gertrude Stein and Rosamond Lehmann. Ref EE4.
