"Readers of this book will want to take advantage of the editors'
detailed summaries of the novel's characters--including 'keys' to
surrogate/conflated characters (such as H.D.'s use of her sometime
nom de plume, Delia Alton, as both author and protagonist of this
novel) and H.D.'s use of dream and symbolism. Valuable for
modernists; required reading for H.D. scholars."--Choice "Engages
many important critical questions: the place of the occult in
modernism, women writers' response to war, the historical and
biographical contexts of H.D.' s late writing. The editors give a
forceful presentation of the novel's significance."--Eileen
Gregory, University of Dallas "A haunting novel of spiritual duress
and survival, it remains eerily relevant today."--Donna Hollenberg,
University of Connecticut Never before published, The Sword Went
Out to Sea is the first book in H.D. prose trilogy that continues
with White Rose and the Red and concludes with The Mystery. This
complex, semi-autobiographical novel combines H.D.'s interest in
the occult and experiences during the Blitz, and sheds light on the
aesthetics and origins of literary modernism.
