H. D. Hilda Doolittle was one of the central figures in
literary modernism in the 1910s. She collaborated with Ezra Pound
and others and played an important role in the early development of
modernist poetry. This Cambridge Companion is a critical
introduction to H. D. containing essays on all her major works. The
first part explores the author''s initial exclusion from the canon
and her subsequent reinstatement; her tendency to merge fact with
fiction in her autobiographical texts; her contribution to the
little magazines; her relation to modernism; her representation of
gender; and her influence on later generations of writers. The
second part offers close and accessible critical analyses of H.
D.''s style, her poems Hymen and Trilogy, her novels HERmione and
Majic Ring, her understanding of translation as literary practice
and of her notion of history in Tribute to Freud and The Gift.
