Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | This autobiographical novel by the Imagist poet H.D. is a rare and hallucinatory treasure. In writing "Hermione", H.D. returned to a year in her life that was "peculiarly blighted." Her alter ego, Hermione Gart, is in her early twenties "a disappointment to her father, an odd duckling to her mother, an importunate, overgrown, unincarnated entity that had no place." She has dropped out of Bryn Mawr and doesn't know what she is going to do with her life. The return from Europe of the wild-haired George Lowndes (Ezra Pound) expands her horizons but threatenes her sense of self. An intense new friendship with Fayne Rabb (Frances Josepha Gregg), an odd girl, brings an atmosphere that make our heroine's hold on everyday reality more tenuous. As Francesca Wade writes in her new afterword, "Hermione is H.D.'s rejoinder to mythic authority: her portrait of an artist groping her way slowly towards self-expression ends with her sexuality and artistic powers awoken, ready to name herself so all the world might know who she is" |
