Paperback. Zustand: New. Hope Mirrlees (1887-1978) has long been regarded as the lost modernist. Her extraordinary long poem Paris (1920), a journey through a day in post First World War Paris, was considered by Virginia Woolf 'obscure, indecent, and brilliant'. Read today, the poem retains its exhilarating daring. Mirrlees's ex…perimentalism looks forward to The Waste Land; her writing is integral to the twentieth-century canon.And yet, after Paris, Mirrlees published no more poetry for almost half a century, and her later poems appear to have little in common with the avant garde spirit of Paris. In this first edition to gather the full span of Mirrlees's poetry, Sandeep Parmar explores the paradoxes of Mirrlees's development as a poet and the complexities of her life.Sandeep Parmar was the first scholar to gain access to the Mirrlees Archive at Newnham College, Cambridge, and her edition includes many previously unpublished poems discovered there in draft form. The text is supported by detailed notes, including a commentary on Paris by Julia Briggs, and a selection of Mirrlees's essays. The generous introduction provides the most accurate biographical account of Mirrlees's life available. Mirrlees's Collected Poems is an indispensible addition to a reading of modernism.Julia Briggs OBE was Professor of Literature and Women's Studies at De Montfort University. Among her many influential publications were a biography of E. Nesbit and her acclaimed Virginia Woolf: An Inner Life. She died in 2007.Cover Painting Juan Gris (1887-1927), Breakfast, 1915.

Paperback. Zustand: 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originally published by the Hogarth Press is 1920, is published alongside later poetry, prose essays and previously unpublished work.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 fla…nerie 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.

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Hope Mirrlees ? Collected Poems (2011) by Hope Mirrlees. Fyfield Books. ISBN: 9781847770752. Condition: Good. Some poets become famous because they write hundreds of poems over long and industrious careers. Hope Mirrlees managed something rather more unusual. She wrote comparatively little poetry, disap…peared from the literary limelight for decades, and then returned from the margins of literary history as readers gradually realised that she had quietly been astonishing all along. It is a wonderfully literary way to become legendary. This Fyfield Books edition of Collected Poems , published in 2011 , gathers together the complete poetic achievement of one of the twentieth century?s most singular voices. Mirrlees occupies that delightful category of writer beloved by poets, scholars and readers who enjoy discovering authors with the satisfying feeling that they have stumbled across a secret everyone ought to have known about years ago. You may have heard whispers of her remarkable long poem Paris , a dazzling modernist collage that somehow anticipated techniques later associated with writers like T. S. Eliot and Ezra Pound while remaining gloriously unlike either of them. It is one of those works that academics have happily spent decades unpacking, while ordinary readers simply marvel at how fresh it still feels. That is no small achievement for a poem first published in 1920. Mirrlees possessed an extraordinary gift for allowing history, myth, modern life, language and dream to occupy the same page without any of them feeling crowded. Her poems seem perfectly happy wandering from medieval folklore to bustling city streets, from quiet observation to dazzling linguistic invention, often before you?ve had a chance to refill your tea. Fortunately, they carry you along with remarkable grace. Reading Hope Mirrlees can feel rather like visiting an eccentric aunt whose house contains medieval manuscripts, maps of imaginary kingdoms, Greek mythology, railway timetables and several cats who appear to know more about literature than most undergraduates. Everything initially appears slightly bewildering until, after a while, you realise there is a curious internal order holding it all together. Or perhaps there isn?t. That possibility is part of the fun. The Fyfield Books series has long performed a valuable public service by rescuing important poets from undeserved obscurity, and Mirrlees is precisely the sort of writer who benefits from such careful attention. Rather than existing as a footnote to literary history?or as "that friend of Virginia Woolf" or "that associate of the Bloomsbury circle"?she emerges here in her own right: original, playful, intellectually fearless and possessed of a wonderfully distinctive imagination. It is refreshing to encounter a collected edition that reminds us literary history is not fixed. Every generation rediscovers writers whose brilliance somehow slipped between the cracks of reputation, fashion and publishing economics. Mirrlees has enjoyed exactly that kind of renaissance, and this volume makes it abundantly clear why. There is also something delightfully compact about a collected works that genuinely feels collectible. Unlike certain Victorian poets who apparently believed every passing cloud required six hundred lines of verse, Mirrlees leaves the reader wanting more rather than less. Brevity, when combined with originality, has an elegance all of its own. This copy remains in good condition , preserving a beautifully produced edition that deserves a place on the shelves of anyone interested in modernist poetry, literary experimentation or simply discovering writers whose reputations continue to grow long after their own time. From Crappy Old Books ?because second-hand bookshops are wonderfully democratic places. Nobel Prize winners rub shoulders with forgotten geniuses, obscure pamphlets sit beside celebrated classics, and every now and then a reader picks up a book almost by accident and discovers an entirely new favourite author. Hope Mirrlees ? Collected Poems is exactly that sort of discovery. It doesn?t shout for attention, it doesn?t promise to transform your life in seven easy steps, and it certainly doesn?t come wrapped in fashionable marketing slogans. Instead, it quietly offers poetry of remarkable originality, trusting that curious readers will recognise its brilliance when they encounter it. Judging by the steadily growing admiration for Hope Mirrlees over the past century, that trust was very well placed indeed.
