Talk:Nancy Cunard

Picture blurb is accurate?
Can that really be the picture of a 32 year-old? Looks like she's in her late forties. Can anyone doublecheck the dates here? 101.228.13.136 (talk) 15:10, 20 April 2013 (UTC) happy retard

I have no choice but to challenge and remove the sensational and unsupported statement that Nancy Cunard died "penniless". Truth is important. In fact, her wealth at death was £14,943 (in England: administration, 17 Feb 1966, CGPLA Eng. & Wales). See Oxford Dictionary of National Biograpy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by TranscendTranslation (talk • contribs) 00:26, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

I've no information to challenge the amount of her "estate'" at death, listed in the above comment as 14,000 some pounds. However, if this amount is accurate or close to it–––Nancy Cunard, at the end, was indeed close to penniless for someone who inherited such immense wealth. 76.126.33.22 (talk) 23:46, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

I am not a scholar but I have read the Thurman biography and various other writings about the life of this person. I am not aware of authorities who give Cunard the literary credibility that is implicit in this article.

Weird sentence.
Perhaps I'm being a bit too prurient but I can't parse the sentence in the lead "She was born into the wealthy British upper class and became a muse to some of the 20th century's most distinguished writers and artists including Wyndham Lewis, Aldous Huxley, Tristan Tzara, Ezra Pound and Louis Aragon who were among her lovers, Ernest Hemingway, James Joyce, Constantin Brancusi, Langston Hughes, Man Ray, and William Carlos Williams." and I'd like to know what it means. It was added nearly 10 years ago. I expect with all that lot Nancy got just as confused as I am. The sentence is pretty unsatisfactory also because it in no way seems to be summarising what follows – for example Brancusi is never mentioned again at all (nor was he when the sentence was added).

More than a muse
The Times Literary Supplement of 9 January 2019 devotes a long article to Nancy Cunard and publishes a short story from her hand. To my mind any consideration of Cunard is incomplete without reference to this article. TLS Nancy Cunard Everybody got to be somewhere! (talk) 21:19, 17 January 2019 (UTC)
