The Collected Essays of Mary Butts
Author: Mary Butts
Publisher: Recovered Classics
ISBN: 9781620540329
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 400
Book Description
The thirteen essays and 117 literary reviews gathered in this book were written largely between 1932 and 1937, the most productive period of Mary Butts's foreshortened literary career---she died at 47. After spending most of the 'twenties on the Continent, principally Paris, with the madding American and English survivors of the soi-disant "Lost Generation," she repatriated to London before settling with a new husband permanently in Sennen, a Cornish village close to Land's End. Famously impractical about money, she must have welcomed the editor Hugh Ross Williamson's invitation to review for The Bookman as a means to supplement her small allowance and book royalties. Considering her charming and personal reviews, this work must have given her satisfaction; it is surely not hackwork. Within a short time she was engaged to write reviews and essays for other prominent journals and newspapers, including The Sunday Times, The Daily Telegraph, The Spectator, The Manchester Guardian, The London Mercury, Time and Tide, John O'London Weekly, The Adelphi, Everyman, and even Crime-which she accomplished while somehow maintaining a steady production of stories, novels, and a memoir of her childhood, and all of this despite marital strife, financial pressures, and worsening health. For the shorter pieces, as a reviewer for hire, it's doubtful she had much choice of books, but her keenest interests and expertise-as well as friendships with contemporary authors-were probably known to her editors, who commissioned accordingly. The range, variety, and depth of subjects is little short of remarkable, from classical literature to popular fiction (historicals, mysteries, the uncanny), from history (French and English) to Eastern religion to the American Depression to gardening, and on and on. Moreover, "reviews" is a misnomer for most of Butts's shorter pieces because her approach is conversational and opinionated, and sprinkled with interesting asides. Better to think of them as miniature essays. Her erudition can be formidable, her thought associations eclectic, her tone scholarly, elegant, jazzy or passionate. However, her longer essays-concerning Aldous Huxley, Baron Corvo, and supernatural fiction, for example-are more like English gardens: structured and carefully tended, but allowing for spaces of intellectual play.

Writing and Workshopping Poetry: A Constructive Introduction
Author: Stephen Guppy
Publisher: Broadview Press
ISBN: 1554813085
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 303
Book Description
Most texts on creative writing emphasize either sources of inspiration or strategies for editing. The process of getting from initial inspiration to final draft isn’t often dealt with in any practical way. Writing and Workshopping Poetry focuses on all three phases of the process of composition: finding the material; building and developing the poem from rough draft to complete work; editing and refining. The text offers everything students and instructors need: extensive notes written in an accessible, conversational style; seventy-five writing exercises; and about a hundred poems chosen from a wide range of sources, from sixteenth-century sonnets to experimental constrained forms, with an emphasis on exciting poems by contemporary American and Canadian poets. Each chapter concludes with a brief, point-form summary of major learning objectives as well as a review list of useful terms.
