Abstract

modernist poet and novelist H.D. (Hilda Doolittle) was profoundly interested in occult and during WWII conducted spiritualist seances in her home. Those experiences form much of basis for her novel The Sword Went Out to Sea, which features an experimental structure and a blending of autobiography, dream, and vision. Even though it was far too complex and eccentric for popular presses of her day, H.D. believed The Sword Went Out to Sea was the crown of her years of serious study of esoteric doctrine as well as of her daily writing practice. It has never before been published.
