This autobiographical novel by the Imagist poet H. D. (1886-1961) is a rare and hallucinatory treasure. In writing HERmione, H. D. returned to a year in her life that was "peculiarly blighted." She was in her early twenties-"a disappointment to her father, an odd duckling to her mother, an importunate, overgrown, unincarnated entity that had no place." She had failed at Bryn Mawr, she felt hemmed in by her family, and she did not yet know what...
This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the original. Due to its age, it may contain imperfections such as marks, notations, marginalia and flawed pages. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions that are true to the original work.
H.D.'s Nights is about one woman's attempt to get to the essence of her bisexuality and failed marriage through an illicit heterosexual affair--an attempt that eventually ends in suicide. Much like a mystery novel, we are given the clues to the writer Natalia Saunderson's death: a muff and watch left beside a frozen pond and two parallel skating lines that meet. Following her drowning, Natalia's manuscripts, a kind of experimental diary, are d...
Il contributo femminile al Modernismo è stato a lungo disconosciuto. Solo negli ultimi decenni la critica femminista ha cominciato a riscoprire e rivalutare intellettuali poliedriche ed aperte alle suggestioni culturali innovative come Hilda Doolittle. I testi presentati in questo volume, composti tra il 1919 ed il 1930, sono inediti in Italia. Offrono anche un ottimo esempio di quella rivisitazione intertestuale che è un carattere distintivo ...

H.D.s Tribut an Freud besteht aus zwei Teilen: den
ersten, Schrift an der Wand, schrieb sie 1943 in London,
mitten während des 2. Weltkriegs, zehn Jahre nach
ihrem ersten Aufenthalt bei Freud in Wien, das er
1938 wegen den Nationalsozialisten hatte verlassen
müssen, und vier Jahre nach seinem Tod. Ihre Schrift
sollte den bewunderten «Professor», wie sie ihn nannte,
gegen politische wie geistige Angriffe verteidigen
und seinem bahnbrechenden ...
Madrigal ist H.D.s "Porträt der Künstlerin als junge Frau". Dieses Buch erzählt die wahre Geschichte zwischen H.D. und D.H. Lawrence, des Lebens einer jungen Generation zwischen Büchern, Bomben und Bettgeschichten. Madrigal ist zugleich der berührende Bericht über die tiefe Krise im Leben Hilda Doolittles, aus der sie als die Schriftstellerin H.D. hervorgegangen ist, als die sie die Welt kennt: als eine Erkunderin archetypischer Welten und als...

H.D., wie sie von Ezra Pound, dem Gefährten ihrer Jugend und Verehrer ihrer frühen Dichtung, genannt wurde, eine Kennerin der antiken Literatur und der Psychoanalyse durch Sitzungen mit Sigmund Freud, eine Pionierin in der Erkundung von männlichen und weiblichen G...
This novel . . . is a considerable lyric meditation on femaleness, sexual and maternal choices, and the meanings of war, history, and violence. Its publication adds a striking text to the modernist canon."--Rachel Blau DuPlessis, author of "H.D.: The Career of that Struggle
