Description

Centenary edition of 'modernism's lost masterpiece'.

Reviews

Obscure, indecent and brilliant. -- Virginia Woolf
While Hope Mirrlees is remembered as a fine and remarkable novelist, it has been forgotten that, in Paris, she wrote a modernist poem that anticipated and prefigured Eliot's The Waste Land. It is wonderful to see it back in print again, for scholars and lovers of poetry alike. -- Neil Gaiman
