摘要:Elizabeth Friedmann undertakes a daunting
endeavor in A Mannered Grace,
her magisterial, authorized biography of
the iconoclastic American poet and thinker
Laura (Riding) Jackson (1901-1991). Merely
presenting the life of this maligned and misunderstood
literary figure, referred to here
as Laura Riding (see Fig. 11), sympathetically
and even-handedly, posed challenges
enough. But Friedmann also succeeds
admirably in making Riding’s writing –
which is far from easy reading – accessible
to a non-specialist audience.
