A woman appeared to me

The Naiad Press is proud to present A Woman Appeared to Me, by Renee Vivien. This autobiographical account of her love affair with Natalie Clifford Bamey is full of the eloquent, vivid imagery that distinguishes her better-known poetry. 

Published in Paris, in French, in a small edition in 1904, it has lain hidden, like a jewel forgotten in a dark comer. Now it has found its ideal translator, Jeannette H. Foster, who has succeeded in conveying in English not only the extraordinary style but also the highly wrought emotional stress of the original. The introduction by Gayle Rubin provides a biographical and critical setting for those who are discovering Renee Vivien for the first time.

The cover and title page are by Tee A. Corinne.
