On Demand
Pretty, Witty, and Wise
Monday, July 23, 2007
Nancy Cunard was the girl who had everything: a sharp intellect, good looks, social connections, and plenty of income from the family steamship fortune. Lois Gordon tells the story of this remarkable poet, journalist, and humanitarian who inspired Evelyn Waugh, Pablo Neruda, Ezra Pound, T.S. Eliot, and Man Ray.
Her new book Nancy Cunard: Heiress, Muse, Political Idealist is available for purchase at amazon.com.
