Her looks attracted Cecil Beaton and the principal painters of the
day. Among her friends were Aldous Huxley, T.S. Eliot, and Gertrude
Stein. She rebuffed Wyndham Lewis and ardently loved the
temperamental Russian painter, Pavel Tchelitchew. The 1930s she
spent in penury, writing fiction, biography and verse. Only when
Yeats hailed her as 'a major poet' did her work reach a wider
audience, whereupon Edith Sitwell set off to conquer New York and
Hollywood. Winner of the Duff Cooper Prize and James Tait Black
Memorial Prize for Biography, this is the definitive portrait of a
spontaneous, gallant, yet tragically insecure woman. 'The
excellence of Mrs Glendinning's book is that it remains wise and
balanced while never sacrificing critical edge... It's hard to
imagine a life of Edith Sitwell that could surpass it.' John Carey,
Sunday Times
