First edition/printing, published by Gerald Duckworth and Company. An appealing example of Sitwell's early mature work and her distinctive contribution to British modernist poetry. As a leading literary figure of the interwar period, Sitwell's first printings, particularly in original hardback with dust jacket, are increasingly collected for their association with the avant-garde Sitwell circle and their place within twentieth-century poetic experimentation. In Rustic Elegies, Edith Sitwell turns her singular poetic voice toward pastoral themes, infusing rural imagery with stylised language, irony, and musical cadence. The poems blend tradition and modernist innovation, transforming landscapes and elegiac forms into something theatrical and unexpected. The result is a collection both lyrical and intellectually vibrant, showcasing Sitwell's unmistakable style.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Rustic Elegies' is a profound and evocative collection of modernist poetry by Edith Sitwell, one of the most distinctive voices of the early twentieth century.

The collection features some of her most celebrated early works, including the ambitious 'Elegy on Dead Fashion,' 'The Little Ghost who Died for Love,' and the poignant 'The Hambone and the Heart.'.
