Forgoing the gossip about her eccentric appearance and self-fashioned persona that has too often overshadowed serious writing about her work, the contributors explore how Sitwell combined persona and poetry to foster an outpouring of iconoclastic creativity. \u003ci\u003eThe Many Facades of Edith Sitwell\u003c\/i\u003e argues that Sitwell was crucial to the development of a British avant-garde that operated alongside the conventionally accepted transatlantic modernism of Ezra Pound and T. S. Eliot. With Sitwell as an influential literary player and social architect, the British interwar arts scene was not an ascetic escape from personality--as the modernism of Pound and Eliot has often been characterized--but an alternative space of flamboyant, extravagant, and ornate performance. \u003cb\u003eContributors: \u003c\/b\u003e Melissa Bradshaw - Marsha Bryant - Richard Greene - Deborah Longworth - Emily McCann - Laura Richardson\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAllan Pero\u003c\/b\u003e is associate professor of English at the University of Western Ontario. \u003cb\u003eGyllian Phillips\u003c\/b\u003e is associate professor of English studies at Nipissing University.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 198\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.63 x 9.02 x 5.98 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 13, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42130629066887,"sku":"9780813054421","price":121.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/5fd9f9c41b38f8f491cd9e029b4510cf.webp?v=1732612465","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/the-many-facades-of-edith-sitwell-hardcover","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
