This chapter shows that Carcanet Press constructed an image of H. D. (Hilda Doolittle) not as a feminist trailblazer, but as a rigorous writer dedicated to poetic form and tradition. With the Arts-Council-funded publication of H. D.’s work, Carcanet Press opened the door to the publication of other neglected modernist texts by Wyndham Lewis and Ford Madox Ford. Rather than being presented as a female writer neglected by a patriarchal literary establishment, H. D. was tied to a more conservative reading of modernism—a movement intertwined with controversial figures (from Ezra Pound to Wyndham Lewis). The first section looks at the relationship between Eric Walter White and H. D., and at his effort to revive interest in her work in the 1960s, at the time when her books were mostly out of print. The next section examines the role that Carcanet Press played in turning H. D. into a classic. However, Carcanet’s monopoly on H. D.’s work was challenged in the 1980s, at the time when women’s studies university courses contributed to a growing market for women poetry. Virago and other publishers presented H. D. as a radical feminist, in contrast to the image that Carcanet had conveyed—as a neglected classic anchored in a long poetic tradition.
