While she is most widely recognized as the lover of English novelist Virginia Woolf, Sackville-West was a popular and gifted poet, playwright, and novelist in her own right. A prominent lesbian and bohemian figure, Sackville-West was also the daughter of an English Baron, granting her a unique and often divided perspective on life in the twentieth century. In \"Mariana in the North,\" Sackville-West tells the story of a woman whose best days lie behind her, whose \"beautiful lovers have passed,\" leaving only \"the voice of the lonely land\" \"All her youth is gone, her beautiful youth outworn, \/ Daughter of tarn and tor, the moors that were once her home \/ No longer know her step...\" Mournful and romantic, Sackville-West's verse explores such matters of the human heart as beauty, aging, and loss. Elsewhere, she depicts a scene of broken trust, in which a woman discovers that two acquaintances thought to be enemies have in fact been talking behind her back: \"she came \/ Into the room, and heard their speech \/ Of tragic meshes knotted with her name...\" Known for her tumultuous, heated affairs with men and women alike, Sackville-West is an artist whose works so often mirror her life. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Vita Sackville-West's \u003ci\u003eOrchard and Vineyard\u003c\/i\u003e is a classic of English literature reimagined for modern readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"All her youth is gone, her beautiful youth outworn, \/ Daughter of tarn and tor, the moors that were once her home \/ No longer know her step...\" Although she is more widely known for her relationship with Virginia Woolf, Vita Sackville-West was a gifted writer whose works entertain, delight, and surprise. \u003ci\u003eOrchard and Vineyard\u003c\/i\u003e is her fifth poetry collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 94\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.2 x 8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 03, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42692253253695,"sku":"9781513212203","price":8.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/9a3de53b28a91f035b7f05ea5aaeca10.webp?v=1764994829","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/orchard-and-vineyard-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
