Almost unknown from its publication in 1919 until the early 1970s, Paris is now regarded as an important and influential work of early modernist poetry. Leonard Woolf tried for years to get Mirrlees to allow him to reprint the poem, but she had "got religion" and refused to reprint a work she considered blasphemous and obscene. It wasn't until 1973, when the editor of Virginia Woolf Quarterly, Suzanne Henig, finally convinced her to allow the work to be reprinted. Even then, Mirrlees insisted on "revising" (read bowdlerizing) the piece before allowing it to be reprinted. This is the expurgated version, but it opened the gates to the modern appreciation of the importance of this work. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Modernism's lost masterpiece.Paris: A Poem is a daring and dynamic experimental long poem written by the British writer Hope Mirrlees. Set on a single day in post-first world war Paris, this ambitious piece of modernist psychogeography brings alive the city's underground railways and grand boulevards by means of playful typography, collage and fragmentation.This celebratory centenary edition reproduces the original design of the very first, which was published by Leonard and Virginia Woolf at the Hogarth Press in 1920. It features an introductory foreword by Deborah Levy, an afterword by Mirrlees's biographer Sandeep Parmar, as well as commentary by Julia Briggs who spotlighted Paris as 'modernism's lost masterpiece'.
