Majic Ring by H. D. (Writing as Delia Alton)

Majic Ring by H. D. – Writing as Delia Alton (University Press of Florida / 2009)

H.D. (born Hilda Doolittle, 1886-1961) was an American writer who exerted enormous influence on modernist poetry and prose. 

Majic Ring, set during the World War II air raids in London, H.D.'s fascinating and visionary novel, Majic Ring, documents her spiritualist activities during this time. Never before published, the work offers a hybrid pastiche of autobiographical, fictional, and epistolary modes of writing.

This annotated edition of Majic Ring presents important information about H.D.'s personal history, her heterodox interests, and her notions about the creative process itself. It also includes much on the source material for Trilogy, her well-known three-part poem on the experience of the blitz. In fact, the publication of this novel will change radically the way we read Trilogy, and will alter profoundly the way we view modernism, the creative process, and women's literary production during mid-century.
