<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>"Scholars and students alike will turn to Caroline Zilboorg's edition of H.D.'s <i>Bid Me to Live </i>for an introduction that provides heretofore unavailable insights and annotations that elucidate the book's countless literary and biblical allusions. A useful, thorough, and eloquent study."--Michel W. Pharand, author of <i>Bernard Shaw and the French</i></p> "Zilboorg's introduction and notes are excellent, thorough, and accurate--the work of an unparalleled expert in the field. This edition makes a major contribution to H.D. and modernist studies."--Jane Augustine, editor of H.D.'s <i>The Mystery</i> In the riveting and intense <i>Bid Me to Live</i>, H.D. documents her traumatic experiences during WWI on which she blamed a number of personal tragedies, including a stillborn child, the end of her marriage, and her pained relationship with D. H. Lawrence. This critical edition returns the novel to print for the first time in a generation. <p/> Editor Caroline Zilboorg offers invaluable background information and perspectives that facilitate a rich and rewarding reading of a complex novel. Including an introduction that recounts the autobiographical narrative on which the book is based, a biographical key to all the major characters, explanations of textual references, and photographs of all the central figures in the text, this is a powerful resource for understanding and appreciating one of the Imagist author's most accessible novels. <b>H.D. </b>(born Hilda Doolittle, 1886-1961) is an American writer whose work exerted enormous influence on modernist poetry and prose. <b>Caroline Zilboorg </b>is an independent scholar based in France. She is a life member of Clare Hall at Cambridge University and has published a number of books, including <i>Richard Aldington and H.D.: Their Lives in Letters.</i><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Bid Me to Live is [H.D.'s] finest and most moving novel, and Caroline Zilboorg's elegant new scholarly edition is a timely reminder of why she was acclaimed for her sinuous prose, which wrestles compellingly with the fault lines of gender, sexuality and psychology."--<b><i>Women: A Cultural Review</i></b><br><br><br>"Demonstrates an avant-garde mode of writing about the Great War, depicting the experience of non-combatants. Zilboorg's excellent critical edition will help introduce this fascinating, much underrated modernist text to a new readership."--<i>Modern Language Review</i><br><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Caroline Zilboorg </b>is an independent scholar based in France.
