About This Item
London: Left Review by Furnell and Sons Ltd, 1937. First Edition. First Edition. RARE pamphlet AUTHORS TAKE SIDES ON THE SPANISH WAR 6 1/4" x 9 3/4" pp.28 plus cover printed on cream colour paper inside with black ink and red ink, recto verso on the thicker cover stock. Slight wear on the outside right cover as per photos otherwise in fine shape.
The editors of AUTHORS TAKE SIDES ON THE SPANISH WAR, which was published in London by the Left Review in 1937, posed two questions to a list of influential poets and writers of the 1930's: "Are you for, or against, the legal Government and the People of Republican Spain? Are you for, or against, Franco and Fascism?"
This historical and important document consists of 148 contributors and 10,000 words on their stand on fascism and democracy.
Among the contributors were: Leonard Woolf, Vita Sackville-West, Aliester Crowley (with his name misspelled) T S Eliot, Ezra Pound, W H Auden, T.S. Eliot, C. Day Lewis, Rebecca West, Sylvia Townsend Warner, Evelyn Waugh, George Bernard Shaw to name but a few influencers!
Some responses were long and some such as with Samuel Beckett were quite short! '¡UPTHEREPUBLIC!'
This significant pamphlet is very rare and a handful can only be found in library archives,
