The Last Lunar Baedeker Background

The Last Lunar Baedeker Background

The Last Lunar Baedeker is a collection of poetry, satires, manifestos, feminist tracts, experimental plays, and autobiographical profiles by English author Mina Loy. Much of Loy's work talks about things like feminism, God and religion, and social issues of the time.

When it was released, The Last Lunar received overwhelmingly positive reviews. Writes Publisher's Weekly: "Mina Loy's wry, confident inquiries into the nature of men, women and sexuality are a great undiscovered treasure of modernism." Another reviewer also loved the collection, calling it "brilliant" and "an absolute dream." Writes another: "Mina Loy was endowed from birth with a first-rate intelligence and a sensibility which has plagued her all her life facing a shoddy world."
