	Edith Sitwell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Edith Sitwell was born in Scarborough, Yorkshire, the first daughter of the aristocratic but eccentric Sir George Sitwell, 4th Baronet, an expert on genealogy and landscaping; and ex-socialite eighteen-year-old Lady Ida, daughter of the Earl of Londesborough and granddaughter of the Duke of Beaufort of Renishaw Hall.
		Sitwell published her first poem The Drowned Suns in the Daily Mirror in 1913 and between 1916 and 1921 she edited Wheels, an annual poetic anthology drawn up in collaboration with her brothers as a literary clique generally called the Sitwells.
		Sitwell was most interested by the distinction between poetry and music, a matter explored in the poem Façade (1922), which was set to music by William Walton, in a series of abstract poems the rhythms of which counterfeited those of music.

	Edith Sitwell - David Higham Associates
		Poet, critic, and biographer, Sitwell was most successful as a writer of satirical verse or burlesque.
		Sitwell both shocked and amused people by her writing, eccentric behaviour, and dramatic Elizabethan dress.
		Her poetry is notable for its avoidance of outmoded metaphor and imagery, its technical dexterity, especially in the use of dance rhythms, and its ability to communicate sensation and emotion.

	Edith Sitwell: A Nearly Forgotten Poetess
		Edith Sitwell was the daughter of a prestigious earl, but this did not mean that she was any happier because of her aristocratic surroundings.
		Sitwell's father was described as "an extreme eccentric and an impossible parent; as for her mother, she was upset by Edith's unusual features and then by her great height" (Ellmann 449).
		Sitwell concludes the poem with the same phrase that the poem began with to complete the poetic cycle and at the same time emphasizing the endless thought cycles of the one lover deserted.

	Selected Letters of Edith Sitwell (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Edith Sitwell enjoys, if that is the right word, one of the most anomalous positions in the history of English poetry.
		Sitwell was surrounded by gay men, beginning with her brother Osbert and including Forster, Joe Ackerley, Stephen Spender, Benjamin Britten and Peter Pears, Noël Coward, Charles Henri Ford, and Lincoln Kirstein, and she was also friendly with lesbians such as Stein and Alice B. Toklas, Vita Sackville-West, H.D., and Bryher.
		For Sitwell, Eliot was guilty of `sly, crawling, lethal cruelty' (a pattern that echoed his actions towards his first wife), and she concludes after thirty years `The friendship is over.' It is time no doubt for a Sitwell revival, in which these letters will no doubt play a crucial part.

	Edith Sitwell: Modernity and Tradition
		Born into privilege, as the daughter of Sir George Sitwell and Lady Ida Sitwell of Renishaw Hall in Derbyshire, and as the granddaughter of Lord Londesborough, she would also seem to be an unlikely revolutionary.
		Sitwell had not renounced any of these poets, and T.S. Eliot, the other "ultra-modern" poet, was steeped in poetic tradition and was deeply devoted to Dante.
		In 1929, Sitwell published Gold Coast Customs, a vision of the horror and hollowness of contemporary life that not only echoed Eliot in its purgatorial passion but which served as an early indication that she was on the road to religious conversion.

	Edith Sitwell, poet
		There was the 39-year-old author herself, unseen by the audience, declaiming her poems through a megaphone protruding from the mouth of a huge head painted on a curtain, which also concealed the seven band members.
		All her life Edith Sitwell was notorious for her provocative eccentricities, in her dress as well as her writing.
		Apparently country squires in centuries past were so keen on the idea of having a hermit to grace their estates that that they used to advertise in the press, and even offered purpose-built retreats (the less comfortable the better) for their bearded dodderers.

	[minstrels] Still Falls the Rain -- Edith Sitwell
		This was the first Sitwell poem I ever read, and it impressed the hell out of me. Some of the lines in it are (IMHO) truly spectacular.
		Unfortunately nothing else that Sitwell ever wrote comes, in my opinion, even close to this (after I read this poem I went out and bought the selected works - I was bitterly disappointed).
		See for example the other Sitwell entry on Minstrels (Poem # 849, Sir Beelzebub) - it's not that it's a bad poem, exactly, but it's a poem that it's easy to be indifferent to - one that is interesting to read (at least the first time) but packs no real emotional punch.
