H.D.'s poetry

the long version

"H. D.'s Poetry redresses the imbalance in the renascent spirit that has animated the past fifteen years. Eight international scholars examine the textual, linguistic and rhetorical aspects of Hilda Doolittle's poetry, from her early lyrics to the late poetic sequences. The three sections of the volume develop around formal rhetorical and thematic cores while following a chronological path. Through the writing runs the skein of a major female poet's voice, the world in which it first sang, and the influences that brought it to fruition."--Jacket.
