This book is a full-length study of the British novelist, poet, and
illustrator Stevie Smith (1902-1971). It draws on extensive
archival material to offer new insights into her work, challenging
conventional readings of her as an eccentric. It reveals the
careful control with which she managed her public persona,
reassesses her allusive poetry in the light of her own conflicted
response to written texts, and traces her simultaneous
preoccupation with and fear of her reading public. William May
considers the influence of artists such as George Grosz and Aubrey
Beardsley on her apparently artless illustrations and explores her
use of fiction and book reviews as a way of generating contexts for
her poetry, offering readers a fascinating in-depth study that not
only radically alters our understanding of Smith and her work, but
provides new perspectives on British twentieth-century poetry and
its reception.
