About the Author
A feminist icon as well as a major twentieth-century poet, H. D. (the pen name of Hilda Doolittle, 1886-1961) wrote several volumes of poetry, fiction, and nonfiction and was an exquisite translator of classical Greek drama. Adam Phillips, whom John Banville called "one of the finest prose stylists in the language, an Emerson of our time," was born in 1954 in Cardiff, Wales. A child psychotherapist, he is the author of On Balance and The Beast in the Nursery.
Reviews
"A warm and revealing portrait of H.D.'s mentor and friend." -- Philadelphia Inquirer
"The book, with its appropriate title, is surely the most delightful and precious appreciation of Freud's personality ever likely to be written. Only a fine creative artist could have written it...I can only say that I envy anyone who has not read it, and that it will live as the most enchanting ornament of all the Freudian biographical literature." -- Ernest Jones, Author of The Life and Work of Sigmund Freud
