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).

- Oct 7 Monday. Turbines again. Went to Palma, dropping Magdalena at Valldemossa, who left without a proper goodbye & 1/2 a month's pay — having at the last moment repented & blamed it on a cold — but no! Raining hard, but later cleared up. Cashed pension cheque rapidly (because of the rain) & also got 26% (375 pesetas) from Credito Balear & a certificate about the rest. Bought a coral necklace for Laura to make up for one given to Isabel. Silk stuff for blue shirt. Various old cotton handkerchiefs at Margaritas & two blue plates horse & flowers; & peasant woman & salmonetes. Decided against dragon picture. Laura found a decent umbrella shop at last in the Jaime II. Bought Karl a hat. Laura got a pair of pig-skin shoes, cheap — made to measure by a foreign woman & then abandoned. Official 'fallo' of water-case. Visit to Schwarz and Strenge 's new flat by the Taberna Vasca . He gave Laura a beautiful emerald-matrix silver-gilt ring, in an old shagreen ring-box. Sabater gentle and offered to reprint first page with corrections: L. offered to share the expense. He will send the stuff off to Constables. Bought blue filing cases. Talk of getting a Jewish girl, whom Karl knows, a Hitler victim, to work: but later decided against possible complications after an illuminating talk. To village: thunder & lightning. Played parchesi with L & Gelat. Won. Solomon spent day with Catalina, at her house. No more mosquito nets. Casita work began

- Oct 9, Wednesday. Old Soldier Sahib is now complete up to date in both copies — about 60,000 words. Wire from Constable about giving manuscripts to Beck to print. Laura replied. Men came to fix the stone tables: Gelat is waiting until Castañer's departure before he gives us the good ones: the ones we have are only cement. Went to village, met Gelat in the Clot gathering apples near Peñaranda's house. Best I have tasted in Mallorca. Cleaned my glass pebbles. Planted stock seeds. Men put up two table columnas . Sun & showers and a rainbow exactly across the sea. Gelat brought apples. Turbine lighting very bad. Juan traced it to some electrical burden put on the line by the millonario. When that was removed all was well. Parchesi with Gelat, L, & Magdalena. Ate sardines & sobrasada at the old café. Margarita wanted to know if I was still angry. Was. Later went to ask G. if there was anything on his mind. Laura & I thought there might be about I & J talking in the café. There wasn't. Wrote to Hillgarth about the Dia and its anti-English English page. Two blanket weather.
