Quote of the Day
Carcanet has always been the place to look for considerations of purely literary and intellectual merit. Its list relies on the vision and the faith and the energy of people who care about books, and values. It is thus as rare as it is invaluable.

NewsSandeep Parmar on Radio 3's The Verb Thursday, 29 Sep 2011
Dr Sandeep Parmar will be speaking on BBC Radio 3's The Verb at 10pm on Wednesday 30 November. She will be discussing the life and work of Hope Mirrlees, regarded by many as 'The Lost Modernist'. Mirrlees's extraordinary long poem, Paris, was published to critical acclaim in 1920, and it is often compared to Eliot's The Wasteland.Dr Parmar, who was the first scholar to gain access to the Mirrlees Archive at Newnham College, Cambridge, edited the Collected Poems of Hope Mirrlees (pictured, left), published by Carcanet. Her edition includes many previously unpublished poems discovered there in draft form. It is the first edition to gather the full span of Mirrlees’s poetry. Dr Parmar is currently writing Mirrlees's biography. Click here to find out more about the new Collected Poems, and to purchase your copy with a 10% discount and free P&P. Previous Item Next Item |
