Synopsis
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 Sasson, W.B. Yeats, 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 20th century". Edith 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 This volume includes unpublished letters to many significant figures, including W.B. Yeats, Bertrand Russell and Benjamin Britten. It also contains letters that illuminate Sitwell's relations with other women writers, among them, Getrude Stein and Rosamond Lehmann.

Product Description
Selected Letters Of Edith Sitwell
Review
Amusing, painful, these letters are very entertaining (THE TIMES)
Her letters are a vital expression of that personality - witty, prickly, affectionate, kind, snobbish yet vulnerable, imaginative and often over-the-top ... the letters make you laugh out loud (LITERARY REVIEW)
