One-page TLS (24 Feb. '69): thin, white paper, typed in black, with a Ladbroke Terrace address, and signed in black pen. One fox spot, creased. Very good The briefest and rather oblique TLS from Huddersfield-born author and (sometime) associate of John Middleton Murry, Eric Gill, Dylan Thomas and George Orwell, Rayner Heppenstall to fellow Francophile, literary biographer and translator Margaret Crosland, opening with: "Well, I am relived that it was you and not somebody else it might have been," asking about Anthony Shiel Ltd, and closing: "I was upset by Tariq Ali, too". As a novelist Heppenstall (1911-1981) was grouped with Alain Robbe-Grillet and the Nouveaux Romanciers, as well as fellow British experimentalists, like Anthony Burgess, Angela Carter and B. S. Johnson, From Margaret Crosland's archive. Crosland (1920-2017) was an important and prolific British literary biographer and translator of French and Italian authors, "who pioneered Cocteau" in Britain (Owen, 2009). She was the French literature consultant for the British publisher Peter Owen, who issued many of her biographies and translations, and thus she played a crucial role in introducing French authors, such as Jean Cocteau and Colette, as well as the Marquis de Sade, Apollinaire and Anaïs Nin, to mid-century British audiences. Owen observed that Crosland was "very important in advising us on books to publish. It was Margaret who pioneered Cocteau [. and] led us to Dalí, as she knew his novel Hidden Faces" (ibid). Her biographical subjects included both Colette and Jean Cocteau (titles much under discussion in her archive), Simone de Beauvoir, Raymond Radiguet and Edith Piaf, and she translated works by writers including Sade, Emile Zola, Edmond de Goncourt and Cesare Pavese, as well as Colette and Cocteau. She was also a voluminous correspondent, literary broker and networker, as her letters evidence in rich and fascinating detail.

He also produced television programmes and made films. Johnson led and associated with a loose circle of "experimental" authors in Sixties Britain, who included Alan Burns, Eva Figes, Rayner Heppenstall, Ann Quin, Stefan Themerson and Wilson Harris, among others. Many of them contributed to London Consequences, a novel consisting of a palimpsest of chapters passed between a range of participating authors, edited by Margaret Drabble and Johnson. Johnson also made numerous experimental films, published poetry, and wrote reviews, short stories and plays. For many years he was the poetry editor of Transatlantic Review. [Wiki] ***'London Consequences is a 1972 group novel written by twenty writers published for the Festivals of London that year. ***Margaret Drabble and B. S. Johnson conceived and edited the novel "London Consequences". The editors wrote the first and last chapters together, and gave the other novelists involved a brief outline of the two main characters. Each author would write his or her chapter, then pass the accumulating manuscript onto the next author. The interior chapters are by Rayner Heppenstall, Eva Figes, Gillian Freeman, Jane Gaskell, Wilson Harris, Olivia Manning, Adrian Mitchell, Paul Ableman, John Bowen, Melvyn Bragg, Vincent Brome, Peter Buckman, Alan Burns, Barry Cole, Julian Mitchell, Andrea Newman, Piers Paul Read and Stefan Themerson. The published book did not identify authors' individual contributions. The G.L.A.A. (Greater London Arts Association) offered a prize of £100 to anyone who correctly identified each chapter's author. Entry forms appeared at the back of the book. Readers had until 11 Aug 1972 to enter.' [Wiki] ***First impression of the true first edition, published as a paperback original.
