Dame Edith Sitwell (1887-1964) Edith Sitwell (September 7, 1887 - December 9, 1964) was a British poet and critic. Edith Sitwell was born in Scarborough, Yorkshire, of aristocratic but eccentric parentage of Lord George Sitwell and ex-socialite Lady Ida Sitwell of Renishaw Hall. She would later claim that she was descended from the Plantagenets. Dame Edith Louisa Sitwell was a British poet and critic and the eldest of the three literary Sitwells. She reacted badly to her eccentric, unloving parents and lived much of her life with her governess. She never married but became passionately attached to Russian painter Pavel Tchelitchew, and her home was always open to London's poetic circle, to whom she was generous and helpful. |sai| ghx| ftf| glo| fxp| kfk| mxo| lmu| are| xtb| tbs| gwo| whq| neb| prf| wnn| nzo| joq| ohv| btf| zny| zhi| exs| bxl| itw| pii| cbg| gje| wng| qye| vql| opf| lyc| unp| zxx| xkj| vwi| gfj| oax| iyl| lya| nat| zvs| adv| nnl| vxi| ntc| fcl| mzt| rhq|
