Certainly a most talked about publication in the UK at the moment! Further to my previous post<\/a>, BBC Radio 3<\/em> has also given Francesca Wade\u2019s Square<\/em> Haunting<\/em> (amongst other things woman, classical & academic) consideration on their Free Thinking program<\/a>  or the \u201cGoddesses of Academia\u201d episode of their Arts & Ideas<\/em> podcast<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, yes, the Jane Harrison, Hope Mirrlees relationship which I remarked upon does indeed come up, as does her modernist poem “Paris” printed by the Hogarth Press in 1919. The British Library has digitized a first edition for all to see<\/a>, and what a delight it is. Literary wise – why has Mirrlees been forgot? (perhaps because she forsook poetry for “the novel” and other interests) – and in terms of handwork – the Woolfs had only been doing this stuff for a couple of years (they bought a printing press in 1917) for goodness sake!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interesting, is that Mirrlees’ poem spans just one day in Paris, portraying the vast, ever-changing cityscape and the tempo of a new modernity, all set against the dark shadows still cast by war and an uneasy peace. The much better known “one dayers” are a few years away – Joyce’s “Ulysses” in 1922 and Virginia Woolf’s “Mrs. Dalloway” in 1925.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
