H. D. and Hellenism

H.D. and Hellenism: Classic Lines concerns a prominent aspect of the writing of the modern American poet H.D. (Hilda Doolittle): a career-long engagement with hellenic literature mythology and art. Eileen Gregory''s exhaustive treatment of H.D.''s poetic engagement with Greece is one of the few studies of a modern poet in relation to hellenism. She explores at length H.D.''s intertextual engagement with specific classic writers and catalogues classical allusions in H.D.''s lyric poetry.
