Remembering Roy Campbell: The Memoirs of His Daughters Anna and Tess - Softcover
Synopsis
Anna and Teresa Campbell were the daughters of the handsome young South African poet and writer, Roy Campbell (1901-1957), and his strikingly beautiful English wife, Mary Garman (1898-1979). In their frank and moving memoirs, Anna and Tess recall the extraordinary, and often very difficult, lives they shared with their exceptional parents. The Campbells experienced first-hand the political and social upheavals of post-World War I Europe, the cementing of white power in the Union of South Africa, the rise of communism and-as recent converts to Catholicism - the Spanish Civil War and World War II. Their lives also intersected with profound artistic and philosophical changes and they mixed with some of the key figures in European, South African and American artistic circles, including Virginia Woolf, Wyndham Lewis, the Sitwells, Augustus John, Bernard Meninsky, Jacob Epstein, Laurie Lee, Tristram Hillier, Dylan Thomas, Laurens van der Post, William Plomer, Uys Krige, Hart Crane.... About the editor - - Judith Lütge Coullie is Professor of English at the University of KwaZulu-Natal. Her publications include a compilation of South African women's life writing (The Closest of Strangers), an edited collection of critical essays on Breyten Breytenbach (a.k.a. Breyten Breytenbach), a CD on the poet Roy Campbell (Campbell in Context) and edited interviews on southern African auto/biography (Selves in Question). "Remembering Roy Campbell makes a significant contribution to understanding South Africa's best-known poet." / Peter F. Alexander, author of Roy Campbell: A Critical Biography. "The editor's introduction to the two memoirs serves as a further corrective to erroneous assumptions about Campbell's life and poetry and serves as a background against which the memoirs may be read." / Michael Hanke, author of Roy Campbell, Ein Solitar: Interpretationen Seiner Versdichtung
