In this lavishly illustrated pictorial biography, Elizabeth Salter, Dame Edith's private secretary and close companion during the last years of her life, captures the spirit of this truly remarkable woman, who, with her brothers, Osbert and Sacheverell, formed a celebrated and redoubtable literary triumvirate. Over 100 photographs, many unpublished heretofore, not only document Edith Sitwell's world but also provide a fascinating record of the evolution on one of the twentieth century's most characterful and instantly recognizable faces.
