English Eccentrics by Dame Edith Sitwell
Hermits, sportsmen, quacks, mariners, the indefatigable British travellers, men of learning, men of living - here is a glorious gallery of the extremes of human nature portrayed with wit, sympathy, knowledge and love.
Dame Edith Sitwell (1887-1964) was a poet, critic and editor, whose enduring monument is probably the suite of 'abstract poems' Facade, notoriously orchestrated by William Walton, and the Norton Anthology of English Verse, which has given poetry to millions. Her greatest pleasures were listening to music and silence.
