Edith Louisa Sitwell was born in 1887 to Sir George Sitwell and his
wife, Lady Ida Denison, daughter of Lord and Lady Londesborough. Edith spent
most of her childhood at her parents’ home Renishaw Hall in Derbyshire. The
first child and only daughter of an unhappy marriage, Edith never gained the
respect and compassion that her brothers Osbert (born in 1892) and Sacheverell
(born in 1897) experienced from Sir George and Lady Ida. She was educated at
home and began writing poetry when she was about twenty, but the major change
in her life came when she moved to London in 1914 to share a flat with Helen
Rootham, her former governess.
Through her poetry, Sitwell challenged prevailing twentieth century
British attitudes concerning literature and poetry. Sitwell's satiric poetry
contradicted the bucolic, Georgian poetry of the day. In 1915, Sitwell
published her first collection
The Mother and Other Poems, although her
role as editor of
Wheels, an anthology of contemporary works
published in 1916, gained her the most notoriety. She also used her poetic
talents to oppose England's role in the first World War, and wrote politically
dissident poetry at the end of World War II, specifically,
"Still Falls the Rain" from
Street Songs (1942), about bombing raids
in London, and
"Three Poems of the Atomic Age," based
on the bombing of Hiroshima.
Not only was Sitwell a talented political poet, but she was a talented
performer as well. Allanah Harper, founder of
Echanges, described Edith Sitwell during a
performance writing "she began to recite and a window
opened onto an enchanted world. Each vowel and consonant flowed and she seemed
to weave her poetry in the air. The world became heightened and transformed
until I could see a whole landscape there behind her eyes." Sitwell's
melodic voice coupled with highly syncopated lyrics lead to the success of her
most famous work
Façade (1922). Intended to be performed,
instead of silently read, the poems of
Façade focused on the sound and effect of
chosen words instead of their meaning. The poems in
Gold Coast Customs (1929) capitalized on
rhythm just as in
Façade, but they demonstrated a political
seriousness absent from the previous work.
During the mid-1920s, Sitwell and her roommate Helen Rootham traveled
frequently to Paris to visit Helen's sister Evelyn Weil. In Paris, Sitwell
found a city filled with creativity and artistic talents, some of whom became
influential friends, including Gertrude Stein. Sitwell enjoyed Gertrude's work
and championed the modernist poet's 1926 Oxford and Cambridge lectures which
effectively raised Gertrude's literary profile in Britain. It was in Gertrude's
salon that Sitwell met the surrealist painter Pavel Tchelitchew, with whom she
would enter perhaps her most important, yet often unfulfilling,
relationship.
To Pavel Tchelitchew, a Russian émigré and artist, she was both a
patron and muse. Unfortunately for Sitwell, Pavel's interest in her was purely
intellectual, and possibly financial. The charming, passionate, and sometimes
moody Pavel directed his amorous attention to the young American pianist, Allen
Tanner, and eventually to Charles Henri Ford. Despite her difficulties with
Pavel and her roommate Helen Rootham, whose ill-health and demanding nature
caused much of Sitwell’s anxiety, Sitwell managed to compile
The English Eccentrics (1933) and the
controversial
Aspects of Modern Poetry (1934).
Sitwell's relationships with other literary figures were much less
hostile than her relationship with Pavel. She became patron to other authors,
including Dylan Thomas, was close friends with poets H. D. (Hilda Doolittle)
and Bryher, and became the goddaughter of Evelyn Waugh and Roy Campbell after
her conversion to Catholicism in 1955.
In the 1930s Sitwell shifted her literary efforts from poetry toward
prose after the success of her well-received historical biography
Alexander Pope (1930). Sitwell’s other
historical biographies,
Victoria of England (1936),
Fanfare for Elizabeth (1946), and its
sequel
The Queens and the Hive (1962), are some
of her best known works of prose.
I Live under a Black Sun (1937), her only
published novel, came out the year her mother died.
During the early 1950s, Edith Sitwell received numerous honors. Four
honorary doctorates from Leeds, Durham, Oxford, and Sheffield universities were
bestowed upon her. In 1954, she was made Dame Commander of the British Empire
in the Queen's birthday honors list.
Failing health and troubles with Osbert's lover David Horner forced
Sitwell to move away from her childhood home in Renishaw and spend the final
years of her life in a small flat and, later, a Queen Anne style cottage she
called
"Bryher House" in Hempstead. During her
later years, with the help of her personal assistant Elizabeth Salter, Edith
published her final volume of poetry
The Outcasts (1962) and the sequel to
Fanfare for Elizabeth,
The Queens and the Hive (1962). Sitwell
died in 1964 and her autobiography
Taken Care Of was published posthumously
in 1965.
Return to the Table of Contents
Manuscripts, notebooks, correspondence, page and galley proofs,
photographs, address books, and financial and legal records document the life
of modernist poet and author Dame Edith Sitwell. The collection is organized
into four series: I. Works, 1922-1962, undated (89 boxes), II. Correspondence,
1919-1964, undated (13.5 boxes), III. Personal Papers, 1936-1960, undated (4.5
boxes) and IV. Third-Party Works and Correspondence, 1904-1964, undated (5
boxes). Portions of this collection were previously accessible through a card
catalog, but have been re-cataloged as part of a retrospective conversion
project to include new accessions. The majority of the collection is written in
English, although some poems and correspondence written to Edith Sitwell are in
French.
Series I. Works comprises the bulk of the collection and contains
handwritten and typed manuscripts of works, including criticism, screenplays,
lectures, poetry, and prose by Edith Sitwell as well as drafts, correspondence,
notes, and fragments found within 348 notebooks. Sitwell tended to write most
often while lying in bed and used large bound notebooks filled with lined paper
to record her ideas. Due to Edith's habit of keeping notebooks scattered
throughout her living quarters, the notebooks are non-linear, so one notebook
will contain multiple works and multiple notebooks will contain fragments of
the same work. Identified titles represented in the notebooks are indexed in
the Index of Works included at the end of this finding aid. Not all material in
the notebooks, however, has been identified. Most of Sitwell’s works are
represented in the collection. Materials relating to
The Atlantic Book of British and American
Poetry,
A Book of Flowers,
Fanfare for Elizabeth and its sequel
The Queens and the Hive, and
A Notebook on William Shakespeare are the
most abundant within the collection.
The second series, Correspondence, is composed of alphabetically
arranged correspondence. Originally, outgoing and incoming letters were
arranged separately when cataloged in the card catalog. Outgoing letters are
now interfiled with her incoming correspondence, and arranged alphabetically by
Sitwell's sender or recipient. Notable correspondents include: Sir Cecil
Beaton, Stella Bowen, Jean Cocteau, T. S. Eliot, Queen Elizabeth II, Ian
Fleming, Charles Henri Ford, E. M. Forster, Graham Greene, Alec Guinness,
Allanah Harper, H. D. (Hilda Doolittle), John Hayward, David Horner, Aldous
Huxley, Lincoln Kirstein, John Lehmann, Vivien Leigh, Jack Lindsay, Carson
McCullers, Harry Ransom, Ezra Pound, James Pope-Hennessy, Theodore Roethke,
Elizabeth Salter, Sir George Reresby Sitwell, Georgia Sitwell, Lady Ida
Sitwell, Osbert Sitwell, Sacheverell Sitwell, Stephen Spender, Michael
Stapleton, Gertrude Stein, Quentin Stevenson, Pavel Tchelitchew, Dylan Thomas,
José García Villa, Evelyn Waugh, Tennessee Williams, and W. B. Yeats. One
noteworthy letter includes an absurd form sent to Eric Stewart-Taattersal
intended to dissuade irrational fans from submitting manuscripts to Edith
Sitwell. An Index of Correspondents is available at the end of this finding
aid.
Photographs of several subjects are present in the correspondence:
Edith Sitwell (94.1), Ella Carberry’s brother (92.3), Denton Welch by Gerald
Mackenzie Leet (96.7), Lawrence Pohle (98.8), and the Betsey Cushing Roosevelt
Whitney family (102.6).
Series III. Personal Papers contains material relating to Edith
Sitwell's private life. Included are address books, financial statements, legal
and tax documents, insurance papers, hotel bills, and quotations recorded by
Sitwell from other authors. Previously, items were arranged alphabetically by
the institution creating the item, but are now arranged by type or functional
group (e.g., jewelry papers, legal documents) or sometimes by the author (e.g.,
Lawrence & Co. (Furriers) Ltd., Macmillian & Co.).
Series IV. Third-Party Works and Correspondence is comprised of
materials created by other authors. Works and correspondence are integrated and
arranged alphabetically by author within the series. Third-party correspondence
is noted within the Index of Correspondents and a separate Index of Works by
third-party authors is also present in this finding aid. Notable authors
represented include Osbert Sitwell and Stephen Spender. In addition, proofs of
Sacheverell Sitwell’s
Poltergeist, Algernon Charles Swinburne’s
Atalanta in Calydon, Denton Welch’s
Voice through a Cloud, and Sandy Wilson’s
This is Sylvia: Her Lives and Loves and
two of William Walton's musical scores for
Façade are included in this series.
The collection was amassed by the Harry Ransom Center through numerous
purchases and a few gifts from 1964-1995. Material pertaining to the Sitwells
created by Richard Fifoot has been removed and cataloged as the Richard Fifoot
Collection of Edith Sitwell Papers.
