Who is Laura Riding Jackson? To find out, begin with Elizabeth Friedmann's The Laura Riding Jackson Reader (089-2552638, $21.95): Jackson was an important American poet and thinker, and the The Laura Riding Jackson Readerprovides a very well rounded selection of her works, offering key texts from the range of her works; from early writings to major works and including four complete stories and her preface to her 1938 Collected Poems. An excellent literary survey, this segues perfectly into Friedmann's A Mannered Grace: The Life Of Laura Riding Jackson (0892553-006, $37.50): a fine in-depth biography analyzing one of the most enigmatic figures in American and British modern literature. Jackson earned her reputation as a poet, but had renounced poetry more than forty years before she won an award for her achievements. She is popularly known as Robert Graves' muse, but devoted most of her life to Schuyler Jackson, whom she married. From her politics and family life to her literary world, biography Elizabeth Friedmann recreates her influences and ideals.
