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).

2272. Letter from Montgomery Belgion to Herbert Read, December 31, 1963
- Title Tesim:
- Letter from Montgomery Belgion to Herbert Read, December 31, 1963
- Description:
- One of a pair of letters to Sir Herbert Read from Montgomery Belgion; a journalist, literary critic, and editor, who also fought in both World Wars. In this letter, Belgion thanks Read for sending a book (written by Read apparently) for Christmas, and that both he and his wife enjoyed reading it. He goes on to compliment Read on balancing the divergent opinions of Beyle and Byron in the book. Belgion closes the letter by confirming Read's address at Wesleyan University for the following several months and passes on well wishes for the new year from his wife.
