	Hope Mirrlees - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mirrlees' modernist poem, "Paris: A Poem," the third publication of Leonard and Virginia Woolf's Hogarth Press, is highly regarded among those few who have read it, and is considered by some to have had an influence on the work of her friend, T.S. Eliot.
		Mirrlees set her first novel, Madeleine: One of Love's Jansenists (1919), in and around the literary circles of the 17th Century Précieuses, and particularly those salons frequented by Mlle de Scudéry.
		Mirrlees later used medieval Spanish culture as part of the background of her second novel, The Counterplot (1924).

	The Counterplot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Counterplot is the second novel by Hope Mirrlees.
		Written in 1923, it was originally published in 1924, and is the only one of Mirrlees's three novels to take place in then contemporary settings, Madeleine: One of Love's Jansenists (1919) being a historical novel, while Lud-in-the-Mist (1926) is a fantasy.
		Hope Mirrlees dedicated The Counterplot to Jane Harrison, with an epigram taken from Odysseus' address to Nausicaä in The Odyssey.

	The SF Site Featured Review: Lud-in-the-Mist
		Helen Hope Mirrlees was born in England in 1887.
		Mirrlees was a close friend of such literary lights as Walter de la Mare, T.S. Eliot, André Gide, Katharine Mansfield, Lady Ottoline Morrell, Bertrand Russell, Gertrude Stein, Virginia Woolf, and William Butler Yeats.
		Upon Harrison's death, Mirrlees was devastated and, given that her father and grandfather were both highly successful industrialists and had set up a substantial trust fund for her, she simply disappeared from the public arena for the next 50 years of her life.

	Hope Mirrlees. Lud-in-the-Mist
		Mirrlees' tale begins in the invented land of Dorimare when Nathaniel Chanticleer, Mayor of the town of Lud-in-the-Mist, discovers that his son has tasted the forbidden fruit of fairyland.
		Mirrlees abandons her hero right on the border of fairyland and switches to a rather contrived murder subplot.
		Mirrlees' provides a charming description of the fairy fruit, but if Tolkien had written the story, he would have left his readers pining for it for the rest of their lives.

	Michael Swanwick: The Lady Who Wrote Lud-in-the-Mist - infinity plus non-fiction
		In her salad days Mirrlees must have seemed like the heroine of her own fairy tale, one in which a flock of fairy godmothers gathered at her cradle to vie with each other to give her beauty, intelligence, wit, charm, and social contacts.
		Mirrlees' father set up a generous trust fund for her, and it destroyed her as a writer.
		When Jane Ellen Harrison died, Hope Mirrlees had the means to retreat from the world, from her writing, and into silence.

	Lud-in-the-mist by Hope Mirrlees - an infinity plus review
		Mirrlees' plotting is episodic, and the overwhelming feeling at the end is deflation that the long-promised fireworks of the final confrontation in Faerie should take place offstage.
		Speaking of Chanticleer, she writes, "The spiritual balm that he had always found in silent things was simply the assurance that the passions and agonies of man were without meaning, roots or duration." In other words: you're born, you live, you die.
		So despite the claims of Mirrlees' fans - in his introduction to the novel, Gaiman describes the fantasy as "one of the finest in the English language" - I find there's something half-hearted about the book, a sense that the fantastic should not be trusted and only allowed into our lives in prescribed amounts.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2003.06.14
		Mirrlees, ever protective of her special relation to Harrison, was reluctant to share information, reserving it for use in her own biography of her friend and mentor.
		After her death in 1978, Mirrlees' papers were deposited in the Harrison archive at Newnham and have been a source of both information and disinformation for subsequent biographers.
		Mirrlees was also likely responsible for the loss of a massive body of documents in 1922, when she apparently encouraged Harrison to burn her correspondence upon her departure from Cambridge for her new life in retirement in Paris and later London.

		Mirrlees has a superb ability with language, and is a never-ending source of startling proverbs and sayings.
		Towards the end Mirrlees shies away from describing several key events, leaving the reader a little unsatisfied.

		In the letters that Jane Harrison wrote to Hope Mirrlees their relationship was expressed as if from a teddy bear called Ursa Major.
		In 1922 Jane Harrison retired from lecturing and she and Hope Mirrlees moved to a house in Bloomsbury, London.

	Dani Zweig's Unnumbered Reviews #5: "Lud-in-the-Mist", by Hope Mirrlees (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Hope Mirrlees wrote "Lud-in-the-Mist" (***-, on an uncalibrated four-point scale) in 1926, but you wouldn't know by reading it.
		Beyond the direct role of Faerie in the plot, Mirrlees uses it as a metaphor for the artistic and aesthetic dimension which gives the purely mundane side of life meaning and value.
		In the final reconciliation of the two, however, plot is sacrificed somewhat for the benefit of metaphor.

		Mirrlees is such an elegant and witty word-smith, it's no wonder this book has stuck with me all these years.
		My 5* rating is for Mirrlees' book (still very readable and enjoyable as long as you can ignore the typos etc), not for this particular Wildside version.
		Hope Mirrlees, an English scholar, uses language with flamboyant precision to produce a richly textured world full of vitality and wonder.

	Lud-in-the-Mist by Hope Mirrlees - Science-Fiction & Fantasy forums
		It belongs to the category of eccentric, fantastic novels written in the earlier half of the last century, works such as those of Lord Dunsany, CS Lewis and Tolkien, which prefigured the development of the fantastic genre as a recognisable, even definable category of fiction.
		I believe that Mirrlees is saying that while it is dangerous to give ourselves completely over to fantasy, we ignore the fantastical at our extreme peril.
		Mirrlees herself declares, at the end of the book, that the written word can be tricky and elusive, and advises her readers to take warning.

		Hope Mirrlees (1887-1978) was a British author of novels and poems, whose three novels are Lud-in-the-Mist, Madeleine, and Counterplot, and a book of poetry, Moods and Tensions: Poems.
		Mirrlees, who had been associated with the "Bloomsbury Group" (Leonard and Virginia Woolf, who published the "Avvakum" volume, T.S. Eliot, etc.), is said to have withdrawn from public life soon after Jane Harrison's death in 1928.
		Hope Mirrlees's writing moves on at a quick clip, without skimping on the details of Lud or its inhabitants.

		Mirrlees herself and that it was, assumedly, somehow quintessentially British, since Gaiman had disqualified The Lord of the Rings (there’s no real reason for me to link to that, is there?) as the “finest English novel of the fantastic” until Jonathan Strange, as it was not, strictly speaking, an English novel about England.
		In fact, given that Mirrlees published in 1926, some time before Dr. T’s opus, I would not be at all surprised if the Shire was full of Granny Hope’s patented mint.
		Speaking of Granny Hope, though practically every review of her has made some kind of remark as to it being tragic that she didn’t write anything else, or at least anything else like this, I’m not going to play in that sandbox.

		Mirrlees didn't write much fantasy, and her style is not quite as shimmery and magical as Dunsany's, but this is a novel not to go unread.
		I've seen several people even on this forum note their distaste for his style, or state that they couldn't quite "get into it," but it's my earnest hope that this is a minority viewpoint.
		He is obviously intelligent and literate, combining say, Arthurian legend (a recurring thread) with the Tarot, and wrapping it all up in, for example, surreal urban fantasy which could as easily be decribed as a gangster tale, a love story, or a modern morality tale dealing with loss and redemption.

		I suspect that in their most ancient form the Muses are linked to Dionysos, that "womanish creature," and to what the great classicist Jane Ellen Harrison (who for some years lived with Hope Mirrlees) calls "the blind mad fury" of the God of Mysteries.
		Dionysos had his female followers, the ravening Bacchae, maenads whose worship of the god of ecstasy ends with them tearing Dionysos limb from limb then devouring his raw flesh.

		Mirrlees confines the action to a prim, proper town and its surrounding countryside, which seems for all the world like some forgotten, thoroughly domestic corner of approximately mid-19th century England.
		Outside lurks the shadowy Fairyland, the source of a steady supply of smuggled fairy fruit - kind of like some really good hash, except that it drives everyone permanently crazy.
		And Mirrlees has a sure hand with dialogue, scenery, pacing, and characterization.

		Quoting Michael: "Back in the 1920s, Mirrlees was a serious literary figure, a crony of Virginia Woolf (Mirrlees's only professionally published poem, "Paris," was the fifth publication of Leonard and Virginia Woolf's Hogarth Press) and good pals with T.S. Eliot, who stayed at her mother's house during World War II.
		She wrote three novels, two justifiably forgotten, and a third, Lud-in-the-Mist, that is an enduring classic of the genre.
		It's put me in touch with feminist academics, T.S. Eliot's widow, and Hope Mirrlees's nephew, Count Robin de La Lanne Mirrlees, and it's made use of academic skills I picked up in college thirty years ago, and haven't had the opportunity to employ before now."
