A hymn to Eros that charts the course of two lovers who each seek the other across cultures, myths, and centuries
Exploring the intersection of personal and historical crises, this memoir recounts H.D.'s therapy sessions with Freud during a tumultuous period in Vienna marked by the rise of Hitler. The narrative is divided into two parts: "Writing on the Wall," reflecting on her experiences a decade later, and "Advent," a journal from her analysis. Through poignant prose and Freud's letters, the book offers an intimate portrait of the iconic psychoanalyst while intertwining themes of memory, dreams, and the looming specter of war.
Der Debütband Hilda Doolittles gehört zu den wichtigsten Zeugnissen der Moderne und ist zugleich einer der schönsten Gedichtzyklen über das Meer und vor allem über die Blumen in der Nähe der Ozeane überhaupt. Es sind die für den Imagismus so wichtigen Einflüsse aus Dichtung und Kunst des alten Japans mit seinem traditionellen Understatement, die den Gedichten Doolittles ihre puristische Schönheit verleihen. In der stillen Betrachtung der windgeschüt-telten und salzverkrusteten Blumen vollzieht H. D. die lyrischen Transformationen, die ihre Dichtung zu einer so wichtigen Bezugsquelle für die moderne englischsprachige Dichtung machen. Die Traditionen, Metaphern und Symbole der viktorianischen Dichtung wer-den aufgebrochen, die Verwendung einer klaren, fast nackt wirkenden Sprache und die neuen, durch nichteuropäische Einflüsse entstandenen Symboliken machten die Gedichte zu einem prägenden Leseerlebnis für ihre Generation. Mit der deutschen Erstveröffentlichung des Debütbands Hilda Doolittles wird im Verlag luxbooks eine weitere Lücke in der Rezeption amerikanischer Dichtung des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts geschlossen. Der Band ist mit einem Nachwort von Dietmar Dath versehen und illustriert von Martina Hoffmann.

H.D.'s adaptations of Euripides' dramas showcase her modernist approach to classic themes, blending contemporary insights with ancient narratives. In "Hippolytus Temporizes," the tension between passion and self-discovery leads to tragic consequences, while "Ion" explores maternal recognition and betrayal. Her translations, praised by literary figures like T. S. Eliot and influenced by her analysis with Freud, reflect her ability to breathe new life into Greek tragedies. These works highlight her belief in the timeless relevance of Greek poetry, paving the way for her later epic, "Helen in Egypt."
