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).

- March 11th Monday. It rained during the night: the first rain since January: when it was mostly snow. Made out complete detailed sequence of the rest of Antigua . Feeling better after bed 4 days. Consulted with Laura about Progress of Stories : format decided. Beck told to go ahead. Laura much pulled down by flu. Bronx 1/3 gin, orange juice, vermouth. Good. Found useful anagram for my name: Rose Reatburg. Treating 'v' as 'u'. May use it as pseudonym for Antigua book. Or Rosa Reetburg. Rain most of the day. Sebastian working again. Wrote to Roz. Letter from Isabel about the Life of Fra Junipero Serra , which Laura sent her to sell. Bought from Short for 1000 pesetas. First we suggested we should sell it for him in U.S., as a favour, and asked a reserve price. He said 1000 pesetas and asked Laura “Why not buy it yourself?” She happened to have 1000 [pts] in her purse & bought it. The man who does up packages & insures said to Juan “Only for 2000 pesetas? Worth far more. If the Government knew it would not allow it out of the country.”

- March 12. Tuesday. Snow on mountains. Isabel not well. Got Carmen to come & help. Cooked lunch myself. And for Rosa who came. Gelat came with Anita's father from Valldemossa to graft pears & apples. They did some & then it came on to rain so violently that they went away. Rosa tried on new sofa cushion. Did revision of 19 pp of Chapter 5 of Antigua and made out a date-list. Wired and hung up cock-bowl in spare room. It rained all day. To bed early: asleep at 9 o'clock. When Sebastian & I planted the tamarisk, which has now begun to sprout, I cut off two shoots and stuck them in the ground. They are now sprouting too. Peach blossom, apricot blossom, and the wild peony that John & I fetched from the Teix in 1930 now in the grotto after trying various bad places is just about to flower.

- March 14 Thursday Isabel working again but Laura not too good & self in bed all day. Kept temperature down with aconite. In the evening Laura also went to bed. Read an old-fashioned novel (The Great Skene Mystery) apparently written in 1900, very Dickensian; but preferable to the dreadful 1927 socialist-detective story by the Coles which I couldn't read more than a few pages of. Had a sudden desire for tea: which usually I don't drink. Then there was another book published in 1917 Nov. by William Le Queux called the Rascal Monk. It was all adjectives: incredible, verminous, unwashed, hypocritical, nameless, hypnotic. About Rasputin. One nice phrase: 'she eyed him with askance' Slept well.

- March 15 Friday. Still in bed. Gelat came. Has located a cross between a Mallorquin and English bull-dog, 10 months [old] for 125 pesetas about £3.1O and no English dog could be got for less than £6, quite apart from the transport here. Laura not well still. Laura had scribbled a note to the McCormacks on the back of a poem she was writing[:] Memories of Mortality . She found it wasn't necessary to send the note so she tore it up. Fortunately found the pieces which I reassembled and made a fair copy of. Went out for half an hour in the garden. Nice day. The yellow creeper is out. The McCormacks seriously thinking of taking Casa Salerosa: the most sunless house in the village. Checked typescript of Chapter 4 of Antigua .

- March 16th Saturday. To Palma in the McCormack's car . Felt very weak. Dentist: have to go back in a fortnight. It rained all day. Saw dog which we liked: 10 months old and affectionate. Good master & mistress. Bought it: 125 pesetas. From a place on the old road to Lluchmayor: windmills and sandstone. The dog came running from a long distance down a patch between fields: greeted us affectionately. Lunch at Mallorca . Schwartz, Strenge & McCormacks. Straight to bed on return. Letters from Mother, Clarissa (in Italy on way home) Horsfield a Transjordan archaeologist about tribunals in Roman camps, Jack Lindsay about anachronisms in Caesar is Dead, defending himself. Laura reported ungegogen ungezogen greeting from Emmerich. After thinking of all sorts of names: Torero, Manso, Otro, Fambá, Cuidad, etc., we hit on Salamó from the Mallorquin: Salamó que es tan sabut.

- March 17th Sunday Spent the morning with great difficulty writing the four letters, in each case pleading flu for its inadequacy. Nice weather again. Chief excitement: Pepe's much too high estimate for work at Salerosa for the McCormacks; Laura had to interview Pepe for them. They came to supper. Mr McCormack talking about an after life said: “I think — I hope — that there's something after. I shouldn't like to think that we're only animals.” Mrs.McCormack said: “Oh but we're nice animals.” She believes in total extinction. In a Life of Hannah More I found a sentence which puzzled me...["]Out of one hundred and eight children in another parish, no one knew who made them.["] From the general context I eventually made out that the answer was 'God'.

- March 18th Monday Rose at 6: to village to tell Gelat about barrel for Salamo. In the morning went for a walk to village with Laura (her hair cut) in the sun & fetched Carl to lunch. Sent off Laurence and the Arabs to Sergeant Townsend (A Coy) and I, Claudius & Claudius the God to Nevill Barbour. Wrote to both. Hester Stanhope to Lucie. In afternoon planted aloes (?) brought from Fábrica & got Sebastian to make a seed bed. Josepha & her mother came: Laura met them at camión . Salamó arrived too. Fixed him up temporarily with a packing-case & straw. McCormacks much impressed by his 'cut'. Then came at the gate I met Frau Emmerich. I told her off for the café incident, but afterwards she came in and everything was friendly. She has greatly cooled towards Hitler in two years: told us that Elfriede was dying of T.B. Exhausting German conversation, but Carl helped a lot. Then McCormac's farewell coffee. Splitting headache: never so tired for years. But Salamo kept quiet all night, and we are very pleased with him. Letter from Harrison Smith agreeing to share correction expenses of I, Claudius . Disappointing letter fixing maximum price of [Fray Junipero] Serra book at $15O.

- March 19th Tuesday. Said goodbye to McCormacks: Laura & I took Nicholas & Salamo for a walk. Then Salamo came into my workroom & after a lot of sniffing soon round went to sleep on my sheepskin rug. Then I took him out myself accustoming him not to pull so hard and keep on the right side. The whole day nearly was spent accustoming the cats to each other & to Salamo. Gelat came and threw stones. Letter from Korda, promising scenario at end of May, work on film Aug. & Sept. Problem of Cura and Posada : will hear next week whether he intends to give up the key or to be brought before tribunal. Worked a little on Focus contribution. Still feeling weak from flu. Carl & I saw a toad: the first I have seen in Majorca. Stocks at their best.

- March 20th Wednesday. Gelat came and talked for two hours: stories about how he's managed to sell the rest of the Molí property, on behalf of the proprietario , for the sum he reckoned. Now all is sold but one piece which he is buying himself for Pts 6000, knowing well that he can sell it at a profit to Juan de Margarita who bought the Molí and wouldn't buy this at the time: the land encircles the Molí and Juan will have to buy it eventually. Took Salamo for a walk, starting with Gelat who has put some men on the Canellun road to surface it, and then going to the stepping stones . I had to carry Salamo over them because he was afraid, but then he crossed himself. I picked wild-asparagus there for our lunch. Isabel's mother & Josepha came to call. Wrote out my Focus contribution. Bought a sheepshead for Salamo. First kippers for supper for three years. Weather suddenly very warm. Wrote to Miss Middleditch to ask what Arthur BarkerLtd are doing about recovering the money due from Germany: & to Wise for a copy of DeServiez.
