A Curious Peril examines the prose penned by modernist writer H.D.
in the aftermath of World War II, a little-known body of work that
has been neglected by scholars, and argues that the trauma H.D.
experienced in London during the war profoundly changed her
writing. Lara Vetter reveals a shift in these writings from
classical "escapist" settings to politically aware explorations of
gender, spirituality, nation, and imperialism. Impelled by the
shocking political crises of the early 1940s, and increasingly
sensitive to imperialist logics, H.D. began to write about the
history of modern Europe using innovative forms and genres. She
directed her well-known interest in mysticism and otherworldly
themes toward the material world of empire-building and perpetual
war. Vetter contends that H.D.'s postwar work is essential to
understanding the writer's entire career, marking her entrance into
late modernism and even foretelling crucial aspects of
postmodernism.
