Reviews

Mary Butts is a remarkably complex writer, in turns fascinating and challenging, perspicuous and enigmatic, provocative and frustrating. This delightfully unconventional collection is the first to do full justice to the quality and range of her work, showing Butts to merit consideration alongside better-known modernists while also tackling head on the contradictions and prejudices that make her a difficult prospect for readers today. Bringing together academic voices with those from the world of publishing, book art and Butts’s own milieu, Hawkes has created a rich and enormously rewarding volume which will interest and inspire new readers as well as those already familiar with Butts’s work. * Suzanne Hobson, Professor of Twentieth-Century Literature, Queen Mark University of London, UK * Mary Butts wrote marvellous prose – shimmering, intractable, wayward, and piercing. Original in its range of content as in its design and never side-stepping difficulties, this impressive new collection demonstrates that Butts – trenchant and extreme, bold and generous – has become a voice we need more than ever to reckon with. * Ralph Pite, Professor of English, University of Bristol, UK *
