Hilda Doolittle, also known as H.D., was an influential American modernist poet, novelist, and memoirist. She was a co-founder of the Imagist group of poets alongside Ezra Pound in London in 1911. H.D.’s early minimalist free verse poems gained global acclaim, leading her to explore various literary forms such as fiction, memoir, and verse drama. Her work often incorporated elements of Ancient Greek literature and mythology, showcasing her deep interest in these subjects. Over time, H.D.’s writing shifted towards exploring esoteric and pacifist themes, which later received significant recognition from feminist critics during the 1970s and 1980s.
