Centenary edition of 'modernism's lost masterpiece'.
Beautiful period-design cover, accompanied by insightful notes (Julia Briggs) and new foreword (Deborah Levy) and afterword (Sandeep Parmar) to elucidate the poem and its allusions.
Supporters across genres include Neil Gaiman, Mary Beard, Lauren Elkin, Francesca Wade, Sandeep Parmar and Deborah Levy
Originally printed by Leonard and Virginia Woolf on their Hogarth Press (which also printed Eliot's The Waste Land). This edition mirrors their beautiful setting.
This edition has been championed for its educational qualities: including not only Levy's contextual foreword and Parmar's afterword, but also pages of notes by scholar Julia Briggs that go through the poem line by line, so it's perfect for scholars and students as well.
Mirrlees is celebrated in the sci-fi world, thanks to her popular Lud-in-the-Mist, championed by the likes of Neil Gaiman.
