POWYS, John Cowper.

A Glastonbury Romance.

First edition of Powys’s monumental sixth novel. Though we cannot trace a direct link between Powys and Bridson, Bridson certainly knew Powys’s friend James Hanley - they worked together for the BBC during the war. The centrality of the Grail legends to A Glastonbury Romance would have been of interest to Bridson, whose own radio drama King Arthur premiered in 1937. Powys’s main source was Jessie Weston’s Ritual and Romance, the same work that had influenced T. S. Eliot’s Waste Land; Bridson also owned a copy.

MACDIARMID, Hugh, and Valda TREVLYN GRIEVE.

Three Christmas cards, signed from Christopher and Valda, or Valda alone, undated.

The two cards signed from both Christopher and Valda (but in her hand) carry generic messages, the third evidently sent after Christopher’s death, laments ‘I don’t seem to get anything done. Will need to snap out of it – I’ve got all Christopher’s papers sorted – most have gone to Edin Uni Library.
