In this complete, unabridged edition of H.D.'s visionary memoir, The Gift, Jane Augustine makes available for the first time the text as H.D. wrote it and intended it to be read, including H.D.'s coda to the book, her "Notes," never before published in its entirety.
This significant primary source will be valued by students of modernism and feminist literature." - Choice
"The definitive publication of [H.D.'s] autobiographical work—finally available in its uncut, minimally revised form. The Gift includes such intimate views as H. D.'s family life, never-before-published pictures of her family, and statements of her beliefs and innermost thoughts." - Foreword Reviews
"Raised in a Moravian family in Pennsylvania, [H.D.] worked on this psychologically complex memoir of her childhood in London--to which she expatriated in her early teens--as WWII's bombs rained down. . . . Editor and annotator Jane Augustine's well-researched scholarly edition restores the text to its full length and includes H.D.'s own notes." - Publishers Weekly
"Readers have been gifted indeed by publication of the definitive text, superbly annotated and edited with scholarly excellence by Jane Augustine." - English Literature in Transition, 1880–1920
