Macaulay was one of the most versatile, successful, and significant writers in the first half of the twentieth century, Smith a talented but diffident and depressive poet who was briefly an Anglican nun before converting to Roman Catholicism. The letters throw fascinating and often amusing light not only on the writer’s private life, unconventional character, and varied career, but also on the lively literary and social circles in which she moved. They are essential reading for all interested in British literary culture and women’s writing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e'A valuable addition to our knowledge of Macaulay.'\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cb\u003eThe Times Literary Supplement\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003ci\u003e'Sparkles with wit … highly recommended.'\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cb\u003eEnglish Studies\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003ci\u003e'Superbly edited.'\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cb\u003eThe Tablet\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003ci\u003e'These \"new\" letters … illuminate the writer’s life and career, and the literary and social scene, especially in the years that followed the First World War.'\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cb\u003eSir Simon Jenkins\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003ci\u003e'Offers fascinating insights into the 20th-century cultural scene.'\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cb\u003eChoice\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003ci\u003e'Full of previously buried treasure.'\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cb\u003eA.N.
