Modernism and Post-War Literature Collection
User Collection Public
The Modernism and Post-War Literature Collection is comprised of works created by authors associated with modernism, a literary movement with contested dates, but largely regarded as taking place between 1910 and 1940. Authors featured here include Mary Butts (1890-1937), Robert Graves (1895-1985), James Joyce (1882-1941), Wyndham Lewis (1882-1957), and Ezra Pound (1885-1972), as well as writers who produced work following WWII, such as Aidan Higgins (1927-2015), identified as late modernists or influenced by modernism.
Intellectuals and artists affiliated with parallel movements in other disciplines during the same period, such as modern art, are also found in this collection, as seen in the correspondence of Herbert Read (1893-1968) and photography of Gisèle Freund (1908-2000).

- Enclosure – Poem to RG from Jenny Nicholson: “Bills” Bills (to Robert who paid them). To hystericaly hysterically shriek “Bill” Nearly always will Bring thousands of men from the streets. But you might have meant Bills That advertise Pills And spots and Potted Meats For unnesessary necessary boasting Has kept one sort of Bill posting The other-sort-of-bill that shows through when its it's wet Perhaps on Somewhere like Portland Bill Where Bill meets Till But it wasn't that sort of Bill that I meant or met. Its those Bills that so often keep spendthrifts awake And make cigar-sucking buisiness business men quake And give one's hands that inebriates shake The cause of the Pauper found dead in a lake Oh those Bills Bills that even bowled out Francis Drake, That make Washington lie, and quite by mistake His stipend inadequate madethe Vicar turned Rake Damn Bills! – From a doctor – one bill For curing a chill And a bill from a doctor who failed A bill to Lafrass – for tickets to Paris: I would it had never been mailed. The third 'please-pay' request From the bloke who dressed My Scapparilli-dream of a figure And now lets let's face – this bill for a case And for photograpes two – tell me, could they be bigger? – Dozens and dozens of them Every day So many bits of paper I must pay. That I should have so many Is quite crazy The hard fact is that I am of course Obviously That I am – lazy. Too lazy at 23 past three To rush to the bank So unable to pay cash I've myself to thank Much to too lazy to pull my socks up And earn dough So lazy that I look at Bills And just – owe. And Ronuk-mannered salesman Nothing loth Sends me this neat epitome Of sloth. – Jenny .
