About this title

Review:

Bid Me to Live is [H.D. s] finest and most moving novel, and Caroline Zilboorg s elegant new scholarly edition is a timely reminder of why she was acclaimed for her sinuous prose, which wrestles compellingly with the fault lines of gender, sexuality and psychology. "Women: A Cultural Review"
"

Demonstrates an avant-garde mode of writing about the Great War, depicting the experience of non-combatants. Zilboorg s excellent critical edition will help introduce this fascinating, much underrated modernist text to a new readership. "Modern Language Review"
