Review:
Hope Mirrlees was a British translator, poet, and novelist. She is the author of numerous books, including The Counterplot, Lud-in-the-Mist, Madeleine: One of Love’s Jansenists, and Paris: A Poem. She lives in New York City. Sandeep Parmar is a visiting scholar at New York University, where she also teaches, as well as a former English literature and creative writing professor at the University of Hertfordshire and at the University of Cambridge. She has published numerous articles and contributed to The Salt Companion to Mina Loy.
'Sandeep Parmar's edition of Hope Mirrlees' poetry is a testimony to modern scholarship and provides a missing piece of the British modernist jigsaw.' --Matthew Mitton, Women: A Cultural Review

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In Paris & Other Poems Hope Mirrlees's remarkable long poem Paris, originally published by the Hogarth Press is 1920, is published alongside later poetry, prose essays and previously unpublished work. Paris is now recognised as a 'lost modernist masterpiece', a daylong, psycho-geographical flanerie through the streets and metro tunnels of post-World War I Paris. Virginia Woolf called Paris 'obscure, indecent, and brilliant', and it has been suggested that Mirrlees experimentation with language and form had an impact on T.S. Eliot's composition of The Waste Land. Half a century later she started to publish poetry once more, work strikingly different from Paris, more formal and restrained, but with a maturity of voice and mood and touching on her later themes, including Roman Catholicism. Until the mid-1990s, Mirrlees's reputation as an early modernist poet was obscured by her cult status as author of the fantasy novel Lud-in-the-Mist (1926). With this book she is back in the poetic limelight. This book brings a brilliant modernist back into the poetic limelight.
