Anglo-American modernism is rich in women writers--H.D., Stein, Woolf, Moore, Barnes, Riding, Sitwell, Loy. My poor Spain only has Concha Méndez and Ernestina de Champourcin, two figures for whom I cannot muster any enthusiasm.

I was never an Anglophile, particularly. I was always more interested in French and Spanish poetry. French, as an academic field, has always seemed stagnant, despite its more "theoretical" dimension. Spanish is much more dynamic on the whole, though my particular corner of it is rather dull at the moment. I could never feel comfortable in an English department--too much tweed, little interest in Englishness per se.
