Few twentieth-century writers are both as inviting and hostile to their audience as Stevie Smith (1902-1971)
This lecture argues not only that a reassment of Stevie Smith's work is timely, but that her defensive attitude towards it can offer a point of entry, rather than a barrier, to its rich and humane insights. Drawing on the iamge of the orphan in Smith's poetry, Dr May uncovers both the literary connections her work suggests and those it attempts to conceal.
