Books published by publisher NEW DIRECTIONS.

The first edition (1951) of the play. Fine copy, the only flaw being some discoloration on the end-papers where the jacket flaps lay against them. The dust jacket is not price-clipped but has a 1" closed tear in upper front right, a smaller chip near the top spine and several nicks elsewhere. NOTE: Although some sellers indicate this dates from 1946 or 1949 that is incorrect. 1946 and 1949 are copyright dates; the play was not published until this edition in 1951

"Like every major artist she challenges the reader's intellect and imagination."—Boston HeraldSelected Poems, the first selection to encompass the rich diversity of Hilda Doolittle's poetry, is both confirmation and celebration of her long-overdue inclusion in the modernist canon. With both the general reader and the student in mind, editor Louis L. Martz of Yale University (who also edited H.D.'s Collected Poems 1912-1944) has provided generous examples of H.D.'s work. From her early "Imagist" period, through the "lost" poems of the thirties where H.D. discovered her unique creative voice, to the great prophetic poems of the war years combined in Trilogy, the selection triumphantly concludes with portions of the late sequences Helen in Egypt and Hermetic Definition which focus on rebirth, reconciliation, and the reunion of the divided self.
