With elegant, reflective prose, the memoir traces her unconventional upbringing as the daughter of one of England's wealthiest men, her fierce pursuit of independence, and her deep immersion in the avant-garde literary circles of the early twentieth century. Bryher details her transformative friendships with towering figures such as H.D. (Hilda Doolittle), Marianne Moore, and Sylvia Beach, painting an intimate portrait of the modernist movement from the inside. The narrative also uncovers her courageous efforts to rescue Jewish intellectuals and artists from Nazi-occupied Europe, adding a dimension of moral urgency to what is already a richly textured personal history. Written with candor and quiet authority, this memoir stands as an essential document of a woman who shaped literary history while steadfastly refusing to be defined by convention.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48755514835163,"sku":"2026200005107-SECONDHAND","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/75cb667a-b4e3-4d18-b34a-d79ebd964b70.png?v=1778221459","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200005107-secondhand-the-heart-to-artemis-a-writers-memoirs","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
