The Sword Went Out to Sea
Readers of this book will want to take advantage of the editors' detailed summaries of the novel's characters — including "keys" to surrogate/conflated characters (such as H.D.'s use of her sometime nom de plume, Delia Alton, as both author and protagonist of this novel) and H.D.'s use of dream and symbolism. Valuable for modernists; required reading for H.D. scholars." — Choice

Praise for this book
Engages many important critical questions: the place of the occult in modernism, women writers' response to war, the historical and biographical contexts of H.D.' s late writing. The editors give a forceful presentation of the novel’s significance.
