	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.
		During World War II, Sitwell returned from France and retired to Renishaw with her brother Osbert and his lover David Horner and wrote under the light of oil lamps when the lights of England were out of service.
		Sitwell was most interested by the distinction between poetry and music, a matter explored at 1923 in Façade (poem), published in 1922, and set to music by William Walton, a series of abstract poems the rhythms of which counterfeited those of music.

	Edith Sitwell: Modernity and Tradition
		Edith Sitwell was a shock-trooper of the poetic avant garde, a champion of modernity who revelled in the use of shock tactics to push the boundaries of poetry, angering traditionalists in the process.
		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: A Nearly Forgotten Poetess
		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 has an artistic nature that is genuinely unique, and this uniqueness has drawn many admirers to investigate what the true meaning is behind her important works.
		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.

		All her life Edith Sitwell was notorious for her provocative eccentricities, in her dress as well as her writing.

		Eccentricity exists particularly in the English, states Dame Edith Sitwell, because of "that peculiar and satisfactory knowledge of infallibility that is the hallmark and the birthright of the British nation." Originally published in 1933, The English Eccentrics has lost none of its vitality and wit.
		Sitwell caught the character of the English Eccentric at a time just before the wholesale decline of Empire, and thus the character portrayed here is a 'standard' one.
		The inimitable Edith Sitwell, in her jewelled prose, weaves together the threads of assorted strange personages, and the effect is hypnotic.

		The Sitwell family was responsible for a fine cultural legacy.
