| Description: | Select Guide Rating * A brilliant and revealing new biography of the renowned - and controversial - poet Edith Sitwell, out now in paperback For the better part of forty years, Edith Sitwell''s poetry has been neglected by critics. But born into a family of privileged eccentrics, Edith Sitwell was highly regarded by her contemporaries: the great writers and artists of the day who attended her unlikely London literary salon. Her quips and anecdotes were legendary and her works like English Eccentrics confirmed her comic genius, while later she established herself as the quintessential poet of the Blitz. |
