| Description: |
Blending poetry, prose and autobiographical details, "Development" and "Two Selves" together constitute a compelling bildungsroman that follows a young woman's process of coming out. Through the fictionalized character Nancy, the novels trace Bryher's life through her childhood and young adulthood. |
| Synopsis: |
Bryher (born Annie Winifred Ellerman) is perhaps best known today as the lifelong partner of the poet H.D. She was, however, a central figure in modernist and avant-garde cultural experimentation in the early twentieth century; a prolific producer of poetry, novels, autobiography, and criticism; and an intimate and patron of such modernist artists as Gertrude Stein, Marianne Moore, and Dorothy Richardson. Bryher s own path-breaking writing has remained largely neglected, long out of print, and inaccessible to those interested in her oeuvre. Now, for the first time since their original publication in the early 1920s, two of Bryher's pioneering works of fictionalized autobiography, titled "Development and Two Selves," are reprinted in one volume for a new audience of readers, scholars, and critics. Blending poetry, prose, and autobiographical details, "Development and Two Selves" together constitute a compelling bildungsroman that is among the first ever to follow a young woman's process of coming out. Through the fictionalized character Nancy, the novels trace Bryher s life through her childhood and young adulthood, giving the reader an account of the development of a unique lesbian, feminist, and modernist consciousness. "Development and Two Selves" recover significant work by one of the first experimenters of the modernist movement and are a welcome reintroduction of the enigmatic Bryher." |
