This present article transcribes and discusses thirteen additional unpublished letters from Garnett (EG) to Bennett (AB), also in the Hugh Walpole Collection. They add to our knowledge of the relationship of EG and AB and to their perspectives and attitudes to the literature they encountered. In particular there are significant references to Ivan Bunin, Henry Williamson, Malachi Whitaker and Elizabeth Madox Roberts, among others, as well as to the practicalities of publicity for books and the issue of censorship. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 2025 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
