内容提要：

希尔达·杜利特尔（H.D., 1886-1961年）的文字持续启发着一代代读者。本书汇集了其多篇此前从未发表的文章，介绍了她对于艺术、神话与创作过程的诸多观点。

杜利特尔最为知名的是其情感质朴的诗歌，充分利用了自然与古代世界的意向，而她的批评性文章是其创作中尚未被充分研究和发表的部分。本书对理解其在一战后，投身意象派后文风形成的背景与其特有的非凡创作视野十分关键。写于1918年的《思想与视野的注释》是其主要代表作。

杜利特尔指引她的读者来到原生态的锡利群岛海岸，在这里我们听其讲述充满力量且具有戏剧性的经历，以及她与达·芬奇绘画产生的强烈情感连接。书中还包括多篇文章，呈现出她对从雅典到古希腊的古典时代诗歌的机敏批评。

H.D.’s poetry continues to inspire generations of readers. Bringing together a number of never-before-published essays, this new collection of writings introduces H.D.’s compelling perspectives on art, myth, and the creative process.While H.D. is best known for her elemental poetry, which draws heavily on the imagery of natural and ancient worlds, her critical writings remain a largely underexplored and unpublished part of her oeuvre. Crucial to understanding both the formative contexts surrounding her departure from Imagism following the First World War and her own remarkable creative vision, Notes on Thought and Vision, written in 1918, is one of the central works in this collection. H.D. guides her reader to the untamed shores of the Scilly Isles, where we hear of powerful, transformative experiences and of her intense relationship with the paintings of Leonardo da Vinci. The accompanying essays, many published here for the first time, help color H.D.’s astute critical engagement with the past, from the city of Athens and the poetry of ancient Greece. Like Letters to a Young Painter (2017), also published in the ekphrasis series, this collection is essential reading for anyone interested in the creative process.
