Join us for the London launch of ANON (vol.i). ANON is a new series of publications from Hurst Street Press which seek to celebrate the work of undervalued women writers, republishing their work alongside commissioned responses from new writers, academics and artists. Each book is letterpress and risograph printed, hand-stitched and are limited to a print run of 100 copies.
Volume one includes three small editions by early twentieth century authors Charlotte Mew, Elizabeth Bibesco and Mary Butts. This event will feature readings from the books and a panel discussion on the works of the three writers and the challenges involved in artistically and critically responding to them.
