Synopsis
Long before the age of blogging, Eva Rothschild collected her thoughts and observations 'for want of a forum' in a little book she called 'Talking To Myself'. Written between 1964 and 1970, it provides a fascinating insight into the breadth of Rothschild's interests and her reactions to rapidly changing times. The big political issues of the day feature and Rothschild is outspoken in her opposition to American military intervention in Vietnam, the UK's inept handling of Rhodesia and lack of opposition to apartheid. But alongside these concerns, 'Talking To Myself' also reveals Rothschild's reactions to the growing permissiveness of the time - to hippie culture, the commodification of sex and a growing sense of social fragmentation. More personal in tone, Rothschild's collected poems which she described as 'reflections of a primitive soul' span her life from 16 to 75. The earliest poem, written in the year after the end of the First World War, is a remembrance of family holidays in Garmisch-Partenkirchen and Rothschild's love for the southern German landscapes of her youth where 'the river flowed between the cupped hands of the mountains' is a persistent theme in her poetry. Charting her escape from Nazi Germany to England, the poems gradually switch from German to English as Rothschild adapted, first to life as an refugee, then widowhood and subsequently older age and a growing sense of isolation.
