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).

2341. Letter from E.M. Forster to Alec Randall, December 30, 1968
- Title Tesim:
- Letter from E.M. Forster to Alec Randall, December 30, 1968
- Description:
- Part of a collection of letters written by E.M. Forster to Sir Alec Randall. They concern, firstly, his trip to Rumania, where he stayed with the Randalls; a tour in France in 1928; and his journey home. Later letters include references to such literary people as Herbert Read, Harold Monro and T.S. Eliot, plus a mention of reading James Joyce's "Ulysses". He also refers to his visit to Africa and his sentiments about the Spanish Civil War and W.W.II. Most of the later letters are signed "Morgan". E. M. Forster was born in London. He is principally known as a novelist and was associated with the Bloomsbury Group, which included Virginia Woolf. Among his best known works are "A Room With A View" (1911) and "A Passage To India" (1924). Many of his novels have been dramatized. He also wrote short stories, drama, non-fiction and criticism. He died at King's College, Cambridge, where he had resided since the mid 1940s. His friend, Sir Alec Randall was with the British legation in Bucharest, Rumania, and was later appointed to serve in Rome. Forster looks forward to reading Randall's contribution to "Aspects".

- Letter from Kathleen Raine to Percy Jarrett, September 15, [1969]
- Description:
- Part of a collection of letters from award-winning British poet and scholar Kathleen Raine to Percy Jarrett, owner of the dealership Philobiblion which specialized in literary books and manuscripts. Most of the letters discuss the negotiation of sales of Raine’s manuscript material (of which Irvine Library at the University of California was the primary buyer), the periodical Temenos, that Raine co-founded; and Jarret’s son-in law Robin Skelton, who was a poet and Professor of English Literature at the University of Victoria. In this letter Raine thanks Jarrett for taking on the sale of her manuscripts.
