Description

The poet Hilda Doolittle (H.D.) came on the literary scene in the 1910s as a young American expatriate living in England.

Her early lyric poems, in Sea Garden, helped launch the free verse movement known as imagism.

Her work as a whole, spanning five decades, includes long narrative poems, novels, memoirs, and translations.

Her experience of the two world wars in Europe is felt throughout her oeuvre, much of which focuses on the power and destructiveness of war.

Other recurring topics are ancient models of civilization, comparative mythology, and female deities suppressed in the modern era.
