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).

They said they wanted the Dr's house where a revolutionary was hiding. He said 'The Dr. is of your own party.' 'No, he's got a Socialist counsellor of Inca there.'

They fired at his door. He escaped behind in drawers & alpargatas running up to Canfusimain eluding 2 Fascists behind the house, took refuge in Son Canals.Appeared only when the Fascists had gone in a lamentable state, had lost his alpargatas & had fallen & cut himself 50 times.

- July 24 Friday. My birthday. Hot: slept without a sheet. Everyone working normally. Impression is that the Fascist's will surrender, Mallorca being cut off from supplies & the soldiers not being with the Fascist's. Gelat came & gave his account of the D r episode. (He told the Fascist's when they asked for light and said that they might shoot one another. G. said “Then don't shoot so much!” [)] Now it is said that the plane did not drop bombs but was fired at, the anti-aircraft shells falling one in the Captain General's house, one in a barracks, one in the Rambla . Sounds unlikely. Medico proudly showing his door. Bartolomé made a step up by the refuse-pit. Bathed. Saw a warship going to Palma about 5 o'clock. Foreign. A blank day: did Schools . Palma now reported quiet. At night tried to get England on radio but audition bad. Government making progress in south and centre. Dark hibiscus flowering for first time.

- July 25 Saturday St Jaime . Apparently Mallorca is being left to fall by itself without bombardments, being lef cut off from the outside world. News of fall of Caspe and Albacete to Government. The Fascist's cannot hold out long, we think, with Air Force & Fleet against them. The Mallorca & Seville radio give no news at all. Dozens of cars leaving Palma. Very hot. Little Antonia did all the work today, very well. Schw & Str. behaving very queerly: cancelled my birthday punch and spent all the time with Leman & C.C. A plane came over Palma at 12 and caused a panic but dropped no bombs & went on. Yesterday a plane is said to have dropped bombs on Inca, Manacor, Pollenza etc. Schools : but slowly. Bathed from the pines of Son Beltran. I and Alan swam between through the cleft where the blue and purple light is. Washed Solomon who was full of fleas. At 8.40 heard English wireless and communicated news to G. & Juan. Capture of Jerez , bombardment of Algeciras, La Linea, Ceuta. etc. At Canellun read poets in search of poetry.

- July 26 Sunday Woken at 6 by a plane that went over Palma. It (or another) returned at two o clock after flying over Soller. The One that flew over Inca yesterday dropped leaflets and squibs. Schools. Laura on last bit of Troy . Greatest heat yet; but a breeze. Wild mimosa flowering again and that bush with white berries near the arbol de pisos . Nobody is allowed to talk in groups of three or more in public places, or to listen to neighbours' radios, or to circulate news unfavourable to the military. In the villages Fascist's are eating and drinking at expense of shops and hotels with at rifle's point, and black-and-tanning. Tonight's Fabrica radio reported Government advances towards Cordoba, Vittoria, Saragossa. Madrid gave railway timetables (proving the opposition news to be lies). Palma reported bombarded. No car came to Deyá so it isn't known what happened.

Schools . The smith brought the missing knob for the balustrade. He reports that the cabo of the Guardia Civil put up 'Gran Victoria' on the public notice-board after the bombardment. Says that Valldemossa is predominantly Fascist. Carabineros posted at the Casa Consistorial . Bartolome correcting the line of the drive and making a path under the main vine arbour.
