1971, July 29 Autograph letter from Frank R
Leavis (1895-1978) literary critic regarding
James Joyce.
Two-page autograph letter by the mid-twentieth
century English literary critic. Written after his
retirement on his personal headed notepaper
(12 Bulstrode Gardens, Cambridge) F R Leavis
fulminates to a graduate student who has
inadvertently provoked his wrath. The main target
is the young man’s enthusiasm for James Joyce: ‘I
explained many years ago why I saved myself for
the writers who seem to me most interesting and
repaying, and proposed to leave him [underlined]
to the academic industrialists (mostly American).
At the best he is a sign of approaching death, and
not of new life.’Together with envelope. (2)
Estimate €200-€250 (approx £170-£212)
