Mary Butts's memoir of her childhood and adolescence describes more than her family circumstances and upbringing up to The Great War in 1914; it is, rather, the recounting of her awakening to the twin realities she would subsequently embrace as a major visionary and modernist English writer in the 1920s through to her premature death at 46 in 1936. It was published posthumously in 1937, and then again in 1988 in an unexpurgated edition prior to Butts's rise to prominence in the past...
More DescriptionMary Butts's memoir of her childhood and adolescence describes more than her family circumstances and upbringing up to The Great War in 1914; it is, rather, the recounting of her awakening to the twin realities she would subsequently embrace as a major visionary and modernist English writer in the 1920s through to her premature death at 46 in 1936. It was published posthumously in 1937, and then again in 1988 in an unexpurgated edition prior to Butts's rise to prominence in the past two decades. The memoir has been out of print for almost forty years. This new edition, therefore, draws upon the 1988 edition, re-edited and re-set. It joins the five volumes of her writings, as well as a biography, issued by McPherson & Company to date.
