WILSON, Angus (1913-1991), English novelist, short story writer and reviewer.
The Weeping and The Laughter.
<p><b>THE DEDICATEE'S MANUSCRIPT REVIEW SMALL ARCHIVE<br /></b></p><p><b>WILSON Angus 1913-1991 English novelist short story writer and reviewer. KING Viva 1893-1979 1920's Bohemian. </b>Small archive relating to the publication of scandalous London hostess Viva King's autobiography <i>The Weeping and The Laughter. </i>London: Macdonald and Jane's 1976 the archive includes Wilson's manuscript book review & more. London 1976. </p><p>King writes the <i>Preface </i>to her autobiography ".Angus Wilson offered to write this book for me. However I decided to try my luck myself.Illness and other interruptions caused delays in finishing this book and but for Angus Wilson's encouragement I might never have come to 'Finis'; and so to him with love and gratitude I dedicate this work." With the archive we include a first edition of the book in dust jacket whose blurb describes Viva King as "for many years one of London's best-loved hostesses" who "now in her eighties Mrs. King looks back on the Bohemian-smart world of the Sitwells Augustus John Ronald Firbank and Norman Douglas." Here is Wilson's 1000-word manuscript review of the book 3 1/2pp. 4to with additions and deletions in which he writes first about reading Proust saying "I have never felt so close to Proust as no when at sixty two I have been honoured by the dedication of Viva King's funny and touching memoirs. "I who as a nervous voluble painfully thin young librarian of twenty-five was entered in her guest book among all the impressive names as 'Man from the British Museum". Viva then was a brilliant eccentric colleague's beautiful witty wife whose erratic headaches threatened verbal annihilation to those whose conversation didn't come up to her husband.she didn't actually annihilate me but I didn't expect to be asked again." Wilson describes her as a "Formidable hostess tough bohemian sharer of jokes often bawdy until we cried woman of discriminating tastes and sensitive feeling for people and places all these I have gradually assembled over the years in Proustian interplay.To all who think of the artistic bohemia and the literary monde of the interwar years as a brittle shell I recommend this book to that they may learn that that glittering world had a heart as well as a sense of fun. Angus Wilson." Viva King was described as shy tough and tender a "British Higher Bohemian Mother Courage" by Maurice Richardson in his review in the <i>Observer </i>2 May 1976. <b>Accompanied by notes for a review</b> by one "Patrick" whom we have not identified 10 pp. of his preparatory manuscript notes for his review on small 6 1/4 x 4 1/4" light blue sheets of paper and the review itself in typescript 2pp. small folio. <b>Accompanied by</b> King's 2pp. 4to ALS on her 15 Thurloe Square London stationary May 20 1976 in which she says "Dear Patrick I thank you so much for your letter & nice review. I know I am apt to denigrate myself to the point where it becomes a bore-all part of my inferiority complex-not really knowing where I belong. I didn't care so much about the dyke's Miss Kay Dick review. It was Charles who got in to such a state & I am grateful for all the trouble he took.I am much in the dumps because this house becomes more of a burden than I can bear. I can't afford to live in it nor leave it-However! Cheer Up.! I hope to see you soon. With love Viva." <b>Accompanied by </b>a manuscript invitation to "Patrick" from the publishers "to celebrate the publication of Viva King's autobiography" at her house at 15 Thurloe Square 28 April. There is a printed letter to the <i>Times</i>by Wilson and six others protesting Kay Dick's review with a typed copy of their collective letter calling it a "fierce personal attack." There are newspaper clippings of reviews of the book one by Margaret Drabble who wonders "While one cannot help wondering what so distinguished an amanuensis as Angus Wilson would have made of this life we can find here much of his raw material: the darling dodoes the extravagant fancy-dress parties of <i>No Laughing Matter</i> the sporting sponging gentlemen of small means who live in studios and boarding houses: they are all here." That's exactly what Wilson's review tells us. <br /></p>

Slight shelf wear to edge of D/J. London labour and the London Poort first published in 1851 was described by Henry Mayhew as 'the first attempt to publish the history of a people from the lips of the people themselves - giving a literal description of their labour their earnings their trials and their sufferings in their own 'unvarnished' language and to portray the condition of their homes and their families by personal observation of the places and direct communion with the individuals. With the help of two collaborators he interviewed some thousands of the people then to be found in the London streets. He elicited from them their life stories which he recorded in their own words and this volume presents a wide variety of them in their complete original form.

Adam Mickiewicz. English Verse Translated By Kenneth R. Mackenzie
Pan Tadeusz or The Last Foray in Lithuania. A Tale of the Gentry in the Years 1811 and 1812. Polish and English Text
London England: The Polish Cutlural Foundation 1990. Paperback. In POLISH and ENGLISH Text. Pan Tadeusz or The Last Foray in LithuaniaTranslated Into English Verse With an Introduction by Kenneth R. MacKenzie. Pan Tadeusz as the title-page informs us is a tale of country life among the gentry in the years 1811 and 1812. The function of the narrative is to form a framework for an idealized picture of life in Lithuania at the beginning of the century. The poem's intense national feeling has not prevented its recognition in other countries. it has been translated into every European language and three English versions have preceded the one now offered. Pan Tadeusz is not a narriwly patriotic poem. It is not a poem in praise of Poland; in all its nearly ten thousand lines one can recall only one sentence of direct glorification the highly dubious state that Polish coffee is best. It is a poem of the love of country. it matters not that the lineaments of the beloved are not those of our own. For Soplicowo is not to be found on any map of Poland nor anywhere on this earth; it is a corner of that heavenly country to which all men belong. 599 pp. We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts Theology History Politics Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions and all types of Academic Literature. . 2nd Impression.
