Sitwell Edith Knihy

Dame Edith's rebellion against the artistic conventions of the 1920s produced poems of elaborate style and originality.

Hermits, sportsmen, quacks, mariners, the indefatigable British travelers, men of learning, men of living - here is a glorious gallery of the extremes of human nature portrayed with wit, sympathy, knowledge and love.

A volume of poetry from English modernist writer Edith Sitwell, published in 1919 and featuring her surrealist, experimental style that helped shape the literary trends of the early 20th century.
