Description

Morgan (Charles) Group of autograph letters signed ('Charles Morgan') to Orlando Cyprian ('Orlo') Williams, on various subjects; one discussing works by literary masters "His work had that quality without which (for me) story-telling is not: the only word for it (now scarcely usable) is glamour. The supreme example is Anna Karenina. Then Turgenev's Torrents of Spring and First Love. The odd thing is that it is different in every author who has it and yet is always unmistakably the same glamorousness. Stendhal had it, but none of his imitators had....Dickens had it and Tackeray, and Scott (but not Trollope) and not Jane Austen", 17 Jnaury 1944; in a later letter Morgan announces that "your extremely lazy and undeserving friend is to receive, next June, an Honorary Degree from St. Andrews, and that the chosen degree is an L.L.D.! No damned Litt about it!", 10 February 1947; a few years later Morgan inquires "whether you will accept a Fellowship of the Society...The Fellows, though a few rabbits survive from the past, are a distinguished list and I hope very much you will allow your name to be added to it", 13 January 1951; later letters cover a series of lectures he gave in Italy in 1951, asking for Williams's advice on the choice of the subject "I have two ideas, 1) Shakespeare's A + Cleopatra and the Nature of Love 2) Browning's Andrea del Sarto and the Relation between Genius and Craftmanship", 20 August 1951; otehr letters mention the travel arrangements and Morgan's wish to speak an opening passge in Italian; 30 pages, 8vo , 16 Campden Hill Square and PLas Newydd, Llanfairpwll, 17 January 1944- 25 October 1951.
