  • John Lehmann and the Acclimatisation of Modernism in Britain
    JOHN LEHMANN AND THE ACCLIMATISATION OF MODERNISM A.T. Tolley It is easy to see the cultural history of modernism in terms of key volumes, such as Auden’s Poems of 1930, and to see their reception in the light of significant reviews by writers who themselves have come to have a regarded place in the history of twentieth-century literature. Yet this is deceptive and does not give an accurate impression of the reaction of most readers. W.B. Yeats, in a broadcast on “Modern Poetry” in 1936 could say of T.S. Eliot: “Tristam and Iseult were not a more suitable theme than Paddington Railway Station.”1 Yeats was then an old man; but most of Yeats’s listeners would have shared the hostility. Yet, in the coming years, acclimatisation had taken place. Eliot’s Little Gidding, published separately as a pamphlet in December 1942, sold 16,775 copies – a remarkable number for poetry, even in those wartime years when poetry had such impact. John Lehmann had a good deal to do with the acclimatisation of modernist idiom, most notably through his editing of New Writing, New Writing & Daylight and The Penguin New Writing, the last of which had had at its most popular a readership of about 100,000. The cultural impact of modernism came slowly in Britain, most notably through the work of Eliot and Virginia Woolf. The triumph of modernism came with its second generation, through the work of Auden, MacNeice and Dylan Thomas in poetry, and less markedly through the work of Isherwood and Henry Green in prose.

    EL ENGLISH CAPTAIN DE THOMAS WINTRINGHAM (1939). MEMORIA Y OLVIDO DE UN BRIGADISTA BRITÁNICO English Captain by Thomas Wintringham (1939). Memory and oblivion of a British volunteer Luis ARIAS GONZÁLEZ Fecha de aceptación definitiva: 15-09-2009 RESUMEN: Thomas Wintringham llegó a ser jefe del Batallón Británico de las Brigadas Internacionales en la batalla del Jarama; sobre su experiencia en la Guerra Civil española, escribió un libro que es mucho más que unas memorias al uso al ofrecer aspectos originales de análisis e interpretación de la misma y un reflejo de su compleja personalidad. Tanto su agitada vida como su trayectoria política de izquier- das —que fue desde el comunismo más estricto al laborismo— quedarían marca- das para siempre por su intervención en España y este hecho y esta obra le convertirían en uno de los mayores expertos teóricos militares ingleses de todos los tiempos. Palabras clave: Thomas Wintringham, Brigadas Internacionales, Guerra Civil, memorias, expertos teóricos militares. ABSTRACT: Thomas Wintringham became the commanding officer of the Bri- tish Battalion in the International Brigades during the Battle of Jarama; he wrote a book about his experiences in the Spanish Civil War which is more than memories are usual because it offers original points of view about it and a real image of his complex personality.

Murphy Since 1975, the Spanish autonomous region ofCatalonia has been renegotiating its political and cultural place within Spain. The designation and promotion ofplaces within Catalonia as World Heritage Sites-a matter over which regional authorities have competency-provides insights into the national and territorial ideas that have emerged in recent decades. This study ofthe selection and portrayal ofWorld Heritage sites by Turisme de Cata1unya shows that the sites reflect a view ofthe region as 1) home to a distinct cultural group, 2) a place with an ancient past, and 3) a place with a history of territorial autonomy. These characteristics suggest that even though many Catalan regionalists seek a novel territorial status that is neither independent ofnor subservient to the Spanish state, the dominant territorial norms ofthe modem state system continue to be at the heart ofthe Catalan nation-building project.

Abstract: Historical illustrations give us hypothetical visual reconstructions of the past, which contribute to their interpretation, knowledge, and understanding. The progress of software for the design and production of images has optimized the possibilities of generating models of educational and understandable illustrations of spaces, facts, and concepts of the past. At the same time, promoting historical recreation activities allows us to obtain photographic and moving images of a historical nature, which can be integrated into image processing software. This paper describes the experience of the DIDPATRI group (Heritage Education, comprehensive museography and new technologies) the University of Barcelona with the Battle of the Ebro (Spanish Civil War, 1938), concerning the design of models/educational illustrations of the conflict. The developed actions Citation: Hernàndez-Cardona, F.X.; show that, with well-defined criteria, support for recreation, and basic but highly educational Rubio-Campillo, X.; Sospedra-Roca, software that is understandable and replicable, iconographic models can be obtained at a reasonable R.; Íñiguez-Gracia, D.
