Norman Douglas lived a long and scandalous life. Born in 1868, he was a lifelong hedonist and spent much of his time 'hopping it' across borders to avoid arrest. South Wind, his most highly regarded work, is set on the fictional island Nepenthe, a thinly disguised portrait of Douglas's beloved island of Capri.
Michael Schmidt is the founder of Carcanet Press and the general editor of PN Review. He was until recently Professor of Poetry at the University of Glasgow. He has also been Writer in Residence at St John's College, Cambridge.
