C. A. TRYPANIS

About this Item

Three autograph letters signed ("Constantine Trypanis", "Constantine") to Terence Tiller ("My dear Terence"): 4pp. 8vo, Oxford, 29 May 1957-17 October 1964. Tiller was the producer of Constantine Trypanis's dramatic poem Leuconia, the Drowned City (music composed and conducted by John Hotchkis, broadcast on the Third Programme, 28 May): "I do want to thank you very much indeed for all your kindness and all the work you put into 'Leuconia'. It came across admirably and I have already received a great number of phone-calls and notes from Oxford friends . . ." Unable to collaborate, because of illness, on Tiller's Dante translations, he later sends the text of his introduction to The Elegies of a Glass Adonis - a sequence of five poems by Trypanis broadcast on 22 November 1964.
