Meer over het boek

Known for her lyrical poetry and feminist activism, Edna St. Vincent Millay emerged as a significant cultural figure in early 20th-century America. Despite a rebellious spirit that hindered her formal education, she garnered acclaim, winning the Pulitzer Prize in 1923. Millay's body of work includes verse-dramas and the opera "The King's Henchman," while her novels were published under the pseudonym Nancy Boyd. A prominent figure in Greenwich Village, she contributed to the area's reputation as a hub for bohemian writers.
