Añadir al carritoCondición: Very Good. One-page TLS (16th February, 1954) on white paper: nine lines in black type, featuring Stopes' Norbury Park, Dorking letter head and signed in blue pen. Toned, folded, with brief pen and pencil notes by Margaret Crosland and, presumably, Neville Armstrong (or an associate at Neville Armstrong Esq.), small s…tain, a little creased. Very good A wonderfully tart one-page TLS from Marie Stopes to the British publisher Neville Armstrong (1913-2008), expressing, in no uncertain terms and following advice, that she will "not go any further with the matter with you": it seems Margaret Crosland had suggested a biography of the pioneering English birth control advocate, paleobotanist and eugenicist, but, as Crosland notes, "she was writing her own story" and, indeed, feared that, "Miss Crosland's book would embarrass me". Stopes would die four years later, without publishing a memoir; Crosland doesn't appear to have returned to the subject. 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 (for Neville Spearman and Peter Owen), 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. Margaret Crosland's traunch of correspondence with Peter Owen and associates (1955-1969) is held by Special Collections at the University of Tulsa.

Añadir al carritoCondición: Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Near fine to Fine. All 3 are first editions. Operation Chastise, commonly known as the Dambusters Raid, was an attack on German dams carried out on the night of 16/17 May 1943 by 617 Squadron RAF Bomber Command, later called the Dam Busters, using special "bouncing bombs" developed by… Barnes Wallis. The Möhne and Edersee dams were breached, causing catastrophic flooding of the Ruhr valley and of villages in the Eder valley; the Sorpe Dam sustained only minor damage. Two hydroelectric power stations were destroyed and several more damaged. Factories and mines were also damaged and destroyed. An estimated 1,600 civilians - about 600 Germans and 1,000 enslaved labourers, mainly Soviet - were killed by the flooding. Despite rapid repairs by the Germans, production did not return to normal until September. The RAF lost 56 aircrew, with 53 dead and 3 captured, amid losses of 8 aircraft. This group includes three key works on Barnes Wallis and the operation that used his creative bombing method. 1.
