About this title

From Library Journal:

The editors of this collection acknowledge that it tells more about "the history of literary politics than the history of literature." After being rebuffed by Ezra Pound, Lowell recruited Lawrence as a contributor to her anthology of Imagist poetry. These letters document the unlikely friendship which developed between the son of a poor Midlands coalminer and the daughter of a prominent Boston Brahmin family. Lowell became a strong advocate of Lawrence's writing in a country where it was often suppressed. Lawrence provided frank criticism of Lowell's poetry, but he also understood and satisfied her need for emotional support. Many of the Lawrence letters have been published previously, but earlier editions contain errors. Since most of the Lowell letters are being printed here for the first time, this volume provides a unique opportunity to examine both sides of the relationship. Albert E.
