Description
The Mystery by H. H.D. In this long-awaited novel, H. D. weaves a tale of love, intrigue and spiritual redemption, drawing from her own notes to her memoir, The Gift. Set against the backdrop of 18th-century Europe, the story follows a complex web of characters as they search for a lost plan for "world unity without war." A hybrid novel that combines modernist stream-of-consciousness with medieval legend, The Mystery marks a significant departure from H. D.'s earlier work and offers a unique glimpse into her feminist theology. Jane Augustine's introduction and extensive notes provide valuable context for this previously unavailable prose, shedding new light on H. D.'s religious thinking and artistic vision. With its innovative style and thought-provoking themes, The Mystery is an important addition to the modernist canon, offering readers a fresh perspective on one of the 20th century's most fascinating writers. Published in 2010, this edition features 241 pages of H. D.'s prose, bound in paperback for easy reading.
