‎Thomas Lionel Hodgkin (1910-1982), Fellow of Balliol College, Oxford, British Marxist historian of Africa [Sylvia Lynd (1888-195‎

‎Two Autograph Letters from the historian Thomas Lionel Hodgkin one signed 'Thomas' to the poet Sylvia Lynd the other unsigned to her daughter Sigle Lynd both written in the most effusive terms.‎

‎Both letters on letterhead of 20 Bradmore Road Oxford. Letter to Sylvia Lynd: 16 December 1930. Letter to Sigle Lynd: 19 July 1930. Both items in very good condition on lightly-aged paper. Both letters are written in an excited gushing style and have the margins filled with extra text. Letter to Sylvia Lynd: 2pp. 4to. Addressed to 'Dear Mrs Lynd'. He conveys at great length his 'immense gratitude' at her 'hospitality': 'I have never really told you what very great happiness this succession of glorious meals has given me - This visit to London was splendid and neither Sweet-Escott nor the Kind Cabmennor my Kinder Aunt in Saint John's Wood are really at all the hosts whom I want to thank for it - But you.' He thanks her for 'Rock' which he is sure 'is best' and makes a couple of references to a recent rugby match 'my right shoulder aching . where a nasty heavy forward wilfully kicked it when no one was looking and the scrum had fallen down yesterday afternoon - A beautiful game and I kept swallowing mud and getting it into my eyes'. He urges her and her family to 'come to Bamburgh'. Letter to Sigle Lynd who studied chemistry and biology at Somerville 1929-1930 leaving after four terms as she was 'too busy dancing': 2pp. 12mo. With envelope docketed by Sigle Lynd: 'Lovely enthusiasm from T. It increases my regret even more.' The letter begins with a flight of fancy: 'As for the Byron and the poem I gave them to your charming maid who told me she remembered me and my name was Mr Barry wasn't it I said it wasn't - But it has occurred to me that she may have meant Barrie and not believing my denial she has probably stolen the MS and has been hawking it round to low Publishers hoping by persuading them that as Barrie writes few poems this must be a rarity to get a vast price for it. It will be fun if they bring out a pirated edition for it - But I'm afraid if they compare handwriting and style they may see through it - and she will get nothing poor creature.' He is sending her 'the Poets Progress because I met the young man who wrote it Walter D'Arcy Cresswell 1896-1960 - he's miserably poor and charming - and it's an excellent book - prose rather like Bridges and exciting metaphysical ideas - so your copy if I remember to get it will bring him one and threepence or so which he badly needs'. The letter contains another invitation to Bamburgh: 'Remember that I shall be working at least six hours a day and you will be able to do that and more if you like to miss dirty games like lobstering'. From the Lynd family papers. Both letters on letterhead of 20 Bradmore Road, Oxford. Letter to Sylvia Lynd: 16 December 1930. Letter to Sigle Lynd: 19 July 1 unknown‎

‎Face of the gods. Art and altars of Africa and the African Americas. [By Robert Farris Thompson].‎

‎Munich: Prestel & New York: The Museum for African Art 1993. 334 Seiten/Pages. With 282 full color and 27 black and white illustrations. 4° (25-35 cm). Orig.-Leinenband mit blindgeprägtem Titel auf Deckel und Rücken sowie mit illustriertem Orig.-Schutzumschlag. [Hardcover / fest gebunden].‎

‎"Robert Farris Thompson, Professor of the History of African and African-American Art at Yale University, has been working on this study of African-Atlantic altars for twenty-five years. Face of the Gods is based on fieldwork in both Africa and the Americas - in Mali, Ghana, Benin, Nigeria, Zaire, the Central African Republic, Angola, Zimbabwe, and South Africa, on the eastern part of the Atlantic, and in Cuba, Haiti, Puerto Rico, Suriname, the United States, Brazil, and Argentina, on the western. The book shows how the Africans and their descendants in the three continents worship not only before points of reverence, foci of sacrifice and prayer, but also, in certain areas, through sacred happening climaxed by possession. In the Afro-Atlantic world the concept "altar" is double: fixed (tree, fire, stone, dais) and moving (ring shouts, dancing, handclapping, circling, ecstasy), leading ultimately to visitation by healing spirits under God. Face of the Gods is an introduction, the first in any language, to a brand-new field in art history: the comparative study of Afro-Atlantic altars. Tracing icons and philosophies in altar-making from major African civilizations to the Americas, the book restores many works of art, long considered in isolation from each other, to their original constellating power. Face of the Gods is richly illustrated with full-color plates. The book opens with the fire altars of the foraging Mbuti, of the Ituri Forest in northeastern Zaire, and of the San, of Namibia. Next it describes minkisi, the extraordinary medicines of God still made in Kongo and the Kongo-influenced civilizations of Central Africa. The minkisi tradition, Thompson shows, traveled intact across the Atlantic. In Havana as in the Bronx, it expands in altars to Afro-Cuban deities such as Sarabanda, its complex symbolic constructions sometimes artfully contained in as small and secret a place as an apartment closet. Likewise derived from Kongo belief are Brazilian tree-altars to the spirit Tempo, as well as altars honoring Indians of the South American interior - the creolized caboclo spirits of Brazil's Umbanda faith. And in the United States, Thompson finds traces of Kongo in everything from recent archeological discoveries to car and motorcycle decor to the myriad forms of traditional black yard art, including bottle trees, memory jugs, and cemetery architecture, all previously most often considered apart from each other. Next, Thompson describes the altar traditions of the Mande/Akan area, touching on archaeological excavations in Mali, the conical clay altars of Upper Volta and Ghana, and the mosque architecture of Mali and Cote d'Ivoire. Above all, he traces the tradition of the flag altar, and its extraordinary transformation among the maroons of Suriname, in northern South America. The largest chapter of Face of the Gods - virtually a book in itself - is an exploration of Yoruba religion and its descendants in the Americas, from Cuba to Brazil to the Bronx and New Jersey. Thompson compares the Nigerian and the American altars to the deities of ancient southwest Nigeria: the clay pillars of the trickster god Eshu, the sacred irons of Ogun, the mortars and axes of the thunder god Shango, and many more - including the altars for the goddesses of the rivers, constructed of found porcelain, which their women makers had charged with appropriative wit centuries before the birth of Duchamp. The beauty and the moral authority of the altars surveyed in this text, from Africa to the Americas, from antiquity to the present, establish Afro-Atlantic faiths as world religious. As Thompson writes, "All this sainted difference is what God wants: as Thomas More noted in Utopia, 'God made different people believe in different things, because He wanted to be worshiped in many different ways.'" -- Schutzumschlag leicht berieben und mit schwacher Lichtkante. - Insgesamt sauberes und noch sehr gut erhaltenes Exemplar des Standardwerkes. -- Dust jacket slightly rubbed and with a faint light edge. - Overall, a clean and very well-preserved copy of the standard work.
