Quick Summary

"The Outcasts" is a poetry collection by Dame Edith Sitwell, published in 1962. It is noted for its religious symbolism and marks a later period in her work, characterized by a deeper sense of suffering and spirituality. Sitwell, a prominent English poet, initially gained recognition for her stylistic experiments and unique imagery, influenced by poets like W.B. Yeats and T.S. Eliot. However, during World War II and in her subsequent works, her poetry evolved to express profound human concerns and tragic grandeur. Sitwell was also known for her distinctive personality and Elizabethan style of dress.12
