Info

This user has earned a FASA for their work in saving H.D. from demotion.

This is my Wikipedia page.

General areas of interest to which I hope to contribute

• Modernist literature
• Literary theory
• Religious studies
• Western esotericism

To-do list

H.D.

• Fix "Works" list
• Rework introduction, tweaking emphases
• Add detail about her analysis with Freud
• More/better detail on her late works, especially long poems
• Rework/sharpen/add to "Appraisal" section, improving phrasing and structure, and discussion more recent scholarship
• Appraisal: add paragraph about H.D.’s rejection of the Imagist label (i.e. descriptions of her work as “crystaline” etc.)

Articles on H.D.

Eventually, full, well-sourced articles on her major long poems, especially:

• Trilogy
• Helen in Egypt
• Hermetic Definition

• and maybe Vale Ave

Hermetic Qabalah

• Gather a list reliable, contemporary non-confessional sources
• Purge all original research, syntheses, poorly-sourced and dubious claims
• Write-up section on history of its academic study

Comparative religion

• Bring the article up to standard, with appropriate emphasis on the history and historicity of CR as an academic discipline
