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).

Leonie works one-handed and we still have Sidonie ( Mme Loyard) daily. Dictionary & some pages of last chapter of Swiss Ghost . Little work gets done: so much snow and housework. The black farm-dog (Sultan) came excitedly to Dorothy with a bleeding paw – it was a hedgehog which Beryl has adopted. It seems to be hibernating. Christmas pudding at night. Laura mostly on letters: beginning the Herods part of Lives of Wives .

- Dec 28 Wednesday Beryl's hedgehog uncurled totally drank some milk & walked about her attic. Dictionary . Much warmer; life much easier; wood much drier. 9 pages of Ghost , last chapter. Still resting ankle, still not smoking. At night tooth started aching (or rather the sciatic nerve under the dead right-lower molar) and I could not stay asleep: waking up with pain every ½ hour & coming downstairs to Laura's fire. Tried oil of cloves, borax & honey, iodine, syringing: finally tried the brass African charm – the headless lizard and it did the trick. Laura was anyhow staying up all night trying to get some Herod done. She did not go to bed at all.
