209 Roy Campbell
ROY CAMPBELL (1901 ‑1957): THE LIFE, TIMES AND OPINIONS OF A SOUTH AFRICAN ‘COWBOER’1 Maria do Rosário Lupi Bello Universidade Aberta CETAPS Miguel Alarcão Universidade Nova de Lisboa CETAPS PART I (Miguel Alarcão) Six years ago, I published an article on Roy Campbell enti‑ tled “O Hispanista Escocês da África Austral” (Alarcão 135 ‑157). My purpose at the time, when choosing that title, was to present him as someone who was always “on the road”, moving from place to place (South Africa, Britain, France, Spain, NE Africa, and ultimately Portugal). There is indeed a distinctly modern ring in Campbell’s very active and eventful life, embodying (and per‑ haps engendering) a plural, fragmented or ‘decentered’ sense of cultural identity and belonging. Although this ‘Wandering Zulu’ never settled back in Africa on a permanent basis,2 he would always retain, however, a love for big, wild and natural spaces and for physical life in the open air, as well as a great sensitivity 1 The authors hereby wish to acknowledge and thank the help generously provided in editing the original powerpoint by Daniela Cabral Morbey. 2 During his 1924 ‑6 stay, Roy Campbell launched and edited the first three issues of Voorslag, a literary, cultural and political review in which he criticized racial segrega‑ tion (apartheid). Roy would later return to Africa during the Second World War (1943‑4), doing military service as a volunteer in the Home Guard. 209 towards colours, sounds and smells which may account for the intensely sensorial flavour of his lyrical poetry. He also loved animals (particularly horses) and bullfights;3 thus my title today, aware as I am he did not come from Wyoming or Texas.. -

Paperback. Book Condition: New. 192 x 130 mm. Language: English . Brand New Book. The compelling biography of the beautiful, talented Garman sisters and the glittering, romantic era in which they lived. Each of the seven Garman sisters were strikingly beautiful, artistic and wild. Born around the turn of the nineteenth century, most of the siblings were to become involved in the radical literary and political circles of British life between the First and Second World Wars. Their morals were unconventional: bisexuality, unfaithfulness and illegitimate children were a matter of course. Nevertheless they were high-minded and intensely loyal. They were the last muses: women who were prepared to sideline their own talent, friendships, material comforts - even their own children - in order to beguile and inspire the men they loved. Cressida Connolly s family biography delves into the lives of three of the sisters in intense and revealing detail. Kathleen Garman, the father s favourite, ran away to London to study music. She was spotted by the American sculptor Jacob Epstein, who promptly fell in love with her, and remained his muse until his death. -
Book Review Roy Campbell. Poemas Escogidos. Estudio Preliminar, Traducción Y Notas De Jesús Isaías Gómez López. Almería
BOOK REVIEW ROY CAMPBELL. POEMAS ESCOGIDOS. ESTUDIO PRELIMINAR, TRADUCCIÓN Y NOTAS DE JESÚS ISAÍAS GÓMEZ LÓPEZ. ALMERÍA: EDITORIAL UNIVERSIDAD DE ALMERÍA, 2010 Betsabé Navarro Romero Universidad de Santiago de Compostela Who was Roy Campbell? The figure of this controversial poet appears as a small entry in the manuals of English literature: born in South Africa in 1901, he settled in Europe in 1918, was acquainted with the members of the Bloomsbury Group, (he would later write a scathing satire on them), visited Spain on the brink of the Civil War and sided with the Nationalist forces of General Franco, published a number of pro-Fascist poems which caused his isolation from the mainstream publishing world, and died in a car accident in Portugal in 1957. It is little known, however, that he also published a relevant study of Federico García Lorca and translated many of his poems into English, or that he enlisted in the British Army in the Second World War with the firm conviction that as a British subject it was his duty to do so. Contradiction, then, was at the core of his personality or, put in other words, he was very much his own man. As he confessed to the poet Rob Lyle in 1948: I don’t believe in anything. At heart I’m a complete anarchist. I fought in the Spanish War because I was disgusted with the crimes of the Reds and the humbug of the liberals. I joined the British Army in 1939 because I couldn’t sit at home while my comrades went out to fight. -
Roy Campbell: Hero Or Villain?
ROY CAMPBELL: HERO OR VILLAIN? EMILIO DOMÍNGUEZ DÍAZ COLEGIO TAJAMAR. MADRID Gaudium Sciendi, Nº 13, Dezembro 2017 39 1 hen it comes to summing up a person in just one word, it seems to be a daring and risky task although you might be or W have been highly familiar with that person and you have known him or her for ages. So, whatever you may think about Roy Campbell, it was quite hard to pigeonhole him. If this is applied to him and his great diversity of jobs and roles throughout his life, there is no doubt that the challenge becomes even more complicated for an outsider, an external researcher who did not have the chance to get to know Campbell in the flesh but read and learnt about his professional and personal life through his two autobiographies; other writers' biographies and articles; handwritten letters or postcards, and encounters with people who knew him well or even shared some time of their lives with the Campbells. Besides, the task became more rewarding and effective after having listened to his two grandchildren's sincere words and childhood memoirs. So, that is how we can attempt to portray him and reach some conclusions, which have undoubtedly led us to discover his human and more intimate side as well as his frequently rejected or denied value as one of the most important English- speaking poets of the 20th century. Roy Campbell was essentially a rebel, reacting to what was before rather than pursuing a clear vision of his own initiative. For example, his arrival in Oxford in February 1919 entailed his strong determination to show that he was not impressed by the English or their cities and institutions. -
