About This Item
Baton Rouge, LA: Louisiana State University Press, 1983 Louisiana State University Press, Baton Rouge, LA. 1983. Hardcover. First Edition/First Printing. Book is tight, square, and unmarked. Book Condition: New; in publisher's vinyl wrapping. DJ: New- in publisher's vinyl wrapping. Rouge cloth boards and spine with white and rouge lettering on the spine. 217 pp 8vo. Elinor was an American poet and novelist popular in the 1920s and 1930s. She was famous during her life almost as much for her ethereal beauty and personality as for her melodious, sensuous poetry. Her personal life throughout her adulthood was surrounded in scandal. She had three husbands, the second of which was the lawyer Horace Wylie, who encouraged her literary career. Her 1921 volume Nets to Catch the Wind is considered by some to be her best collection of poetry, though she published several novels and volumes of poetry afterward and continued to stay in the public eye until her early death at age 43. A clean pristine copy in original vinyl.
