Sobre este artículo
New York: The Macmillan Company, 1946. Blue cloth, gilt spine. Frontispiece portrait, and three further black & white plates. Near fine in a slightly nicked, unclipped pictorial dust jacket.
First edition, first printing, preceding the British edition. Elizabeth Tudor grew up in the Court of Henry VIII, he being her father with his second wife Anne Boleyn. After Henry tired of his wife, annulled his marriage and ordered her execution, the two-year-old Elizabeth was declared illegitimate yet later reinstated as Princess.
Edith Sitwell, English poet and critic, was born in Scarborough in 1887 and educated privately at Renishaw Park, the estate which her family owned for more than six hundred years. She first attracted public notice in 1916 when, with a group of other young poets, she began to edit an annual anthology, Wheels (which can be seen elsewhere on this website).
