“[…] Victoria Kent and Louise Crane in New York, a shared exile (Flint), the wonderful essay that the historian Carmen de la Guardia has dedicated to the life, activity and time of the two friends. If Kent's biography is well known, that of the socialist Crane is not so. From a wealthy family well connected to the arts, Louise studied at Vassar, the elitecollege so well portrayed by fellow student Mary McCarthy in the novel El grupo (1969; Tusquets), and where he met poets such as Marianne Moore and Elizabeth Bishop. A patron and protector of musicians and poets, Crane was a regular presence in New York cultural life during the XNUMXs and XNUMXs. Professor De la Guardia reviews the activities of the two friends, examines the people and groups with whom they related (intellectuals and politicians, Spanish and North American) and draws a brilliant panorama of New York cultural and political life of the period. A rigorous (and exciting) academic book about two "modern" groundbreaking women that has the enormous virtue of letting itself be read as if it weren't."
