Reader's note

Add a vintage poetry paperback to your collection with this patterned 1952 edition of Edith Sitwell, published in The Penguin Poets series! For some readers, this poet is two separate beings - the poet who existed before 1939, and the poet who existed since. The early poems of this author aroused (to quote Mr Jack Lindsay's essay on Dr Sitwell) 'an extreme fury of hatred.' This was due partly to the fact that they 'attempted to pierce down to the essence of the thing seen, by discovering in it attributes which at first appear alien, but which are acutely related. Façade with its hard masculine rhythms, its violent exhilaration or sadness masked by gaiety, aroused this fury because of the extreme condensation of image.
