Reviews
"The definitive publication of her autobiographical work -- finally available in its uncut, minimally revised form. The Gift includes such intimate views as H. D.'s family life, never-before-published pictures of her family and statements of her beliefs and innermost thoughts. Written in WWII London during the Blitz, The Gift incorporates memory and spirituality with the mysticism of H. D.'s Moravian heritage to create a philosophically complex story by using the child-voice, flashbacks and stream-of-consciousness techniques reminiscent of Faulkner, Woolf and Stein. . . . The Gift is a scholarly achievement that is technically and philosophically hard to understand, but a deeply rewarding work for those interested in cultural, spiritual and psychological studies." -- Fore Word

"More than fifty years since its creation, readers have been gifted indeed by publication of the definitive text, superbly annotated and edited with scholarly excellence by Jane Augustine. . . . This edition is beautifully designed, and includes many well-chosen photographs not previously published." -- English Literature in Transition 1880-1920
