Originally published in 1980 and nominated for the Duff Cooper
Prize, this was the first biography of Wyndham Lewis and was based
on extensive archival research and interviews. It narrates Lewis’
years at Rugby and the Slade, his bohemian life on the Continent,
the creation of Vorticism and publication of Blast, and his
experiences at Passchendaele, as well as his many love affairs, his
bitter quarrels with Bloomsbury and the Sitwells, the suppressed
books of the thirties, the evolution of his political ideas, his
self-imposed exile in North America and creative resurgence during
his final blindness. Jeffrey Meyers also describes Lewis’
relationships with Roy Campbell, D. H. Lawrence, Katherine
Mansfield, T. E Lawrence, Hemingway, Huxley, Yeats, Auden, Spender,
Orwell and McLuhan. As the self-styled Enemy emerges from the
shadows, he is seen as an independent and courageous artist and one
of the most controversial and stimulating figures in modern English
art and literature.
