Charlotte Mew (1869 - 1928) cut one of the most distinctive figures of the twentieth century beloved of Siegfried Sassoon and Walter de la Mare (for whom she was a very rare being ) unafraid of Virginia Woolf and considered by Hardy to be far and away the best living woman poet . Part of a new wave of fashionable female dandies who lived passionate precarious existences in Bloomsbury she was an enchanting and spirited personality. But behind the brave face was a life riddled with grief: left to care for her disturbed mother two siblings with undiagnosed Schizophrenia and Charlotte herself burdened by depression and closeted lesbianism; she killed herself by drinking household disinfectant. In this unexpectedly gripping portrait of a life of passion unfulfilled Penelope Fitzgerald brings all her novelist's skills into play in telling a story that is at once tragic beautiful and deeply human.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: Charlotte Mew And Her Friends\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Fitzgerald Penelope\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Harpercollins Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9780007142743\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 304 Pages\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 11\/4\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Literary Studies: Poetry \u0026amp; Poets","brand":"Fitzgerald Penelope","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51332833247537,"sku":"IN-G-9780007142743","price":27.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9780007142743-charlotte-mew-and-her-friends","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
