Originally published in 1963 and edited by an authority on Wyndham Lewis (whom he also knew personally) this volume made available for the first time over 500 letters of Wyndham Lewis who for half a century was a dynamic force among English artists and intellectuals. Culturally Lewis played the dual role of innovator and iconoclast. Lewis’s letters show the wide range of his interests as well as his great verbal energy and unrelenting intellect. Lewis knew most of the significant artists and writers of his time and some of them – Augustus John Pound Eliot and Joyce were his lifelong friends and chief correspondents. Regardless of to whom he was writing he displayed his intense awareness of the personalities and currents around him. |The Letters of Wyndham Lewis | Literature
