Eric | 57 comments Bryher--(Annie Winifred Ellerman)--English novelist and heiress of sorts, friendly with most of the artists we remember whose great works appeared in the interregnum between wars--Joyce for instance, whom she helped keep fed, and indeed the Shakespeare & Co. bookshop which were it not for we'd have no "Ulysses".

That aside, she is an accomplished artist of her own, and no one seems to be reading aught of her several novels/memoirs/letters/&c., though one ought (to).

Vide:
Visa For Avalon
The Heart to Artemis: A Writer's Memoirs
Roman Wall: A Novel
The Coin of Carthage
The Player's Boy
Ruan - A Novel
This January Tale
The Fourteenth of October
Gate to the Sea
Beowulf: A Novel
Analyzing Freud: The Letters of H.D., Bryher, and Their Circle and more!

Spadeward with we! and to the plot anon!

Jonathan (nathandjoe) | 139 comments Read Visa, which was a little on the mediocre side sadly, however Development (1920) and Two Selves (1923) (collected here https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6... ) was fantastic and well worth reading.
