Hardback. Edith Sitwell (Edited By John Lehmann And Derek Parker), Macmillan. Condition remarks: Condition: Good. Jacket: Worn/faded, no tears - dust jacket present with some edge wear and minor fading. Page Condition: good. Markings: No visible markings. Binding: Intact, hardcover binding in good condition. Stickers/Labels: None visible. This curated anthology of correspondence presents the brilliant and often acerbic voice of Dame Edith Sitwell, one of the twentieth century's most distinctive and flamboyant literary figures. Edited by John Lehmann and Derek Parker, the collection chronicles Sitwell's rich intellectual and personal life through letters written to friends, fellow writers, and contemporaries, including T.S. Eliot, Dylan Thomas, and Evelyn Waugh. The tone is sharp, witty, and deeply personal, offering an unfiltered window into the mind of a poet who argued passionately for the avant-garde and refused to be constrained by convention. Each letter illustrates her formidable personality - her generosity, her feuds, her fierce aesthetic convictions - painting a vivid portrait of British literary culture across several decades. A treasure for admirers of modernist literature and those fascinated by the private lives of great writers. Hardback.…
