Descriptive Summary Title: Ursula Roberts, Incoming correspondence , Date (inclusive): ca. 1910-1960 Collection number: M0908 Creator: Roberts Ursula Extent: .5 linear ft. Repository: Stanford University. Libraries. Dept. of Special Collections and University Archives. Abstract: British poet, writer and political activist. During the Edwardian period, while in her 20s, wife of a pacifist Socialist clergyman, Roberts first took an active part in the campaign for women's suffrage. Using her pseudonym Susan Miles for most of her writer's career, she published her first inflammatory pamphlet THE CAUSE OF PURITY AND WOMEN'S SUFFRAGE in 1912. By the end of the first World War, the date of the earliest letters in this archive, her interest had expanded to such feminist issues as the admission of women to the clergy. But it was in the 1920s and 1930s while part of the literary circle which revolved around ADELPHI MAGAZINE, launched by Katherine Mansfield's widower and D.H. Lawrence's closest friend J. Middleton Murry, that she became an active participant in the anti-war movement which swept British left-wing intellectual circles, until it became clear to many of her friends that "peace at any price" meant surrender to Nazi and Fascist dictatorship.

Biography The British writer Ursula (Wyllie) Roberts was born in 1887, the daughter of the "ardent conservative" Lt.-Col. R.J.H. Wyllie. By early adulthood she had rejected many of the beliefs of her upbringing and become an "idealistic agnostic" and pacifist. She married the socialist, pacifist Reverend William Corbett Roberts in 1909 and began her career as a poet, novelist and activist, publishing "The Cause of Purity and Women's Suffrage"-"a tough-minded pamphlet on prostitution which confronts low wages and child abuse"-in 1912. For later publications Ursula Roberts used the pseudonym "Susan Miles." The poems and stories of "Miss Miles" were published in various journals and volumes. Her major books are Dunch (1918), a book of free verse sketches about Crick, "an old-style rural parish" in Northants, Blind Men Crossing a Bridge (1934), Rabboni (1942), a memoir of her late husband in 1955, and the verse novel Lettice Delmer (1958). Roberts was active in peace and women's movements throughout her career, maintaining her pacifist ideals even into the Cold War when many British intellectuals had abandoned theirs. In the 1960s, she became a strong supporter of nuclear disarmament. Collection Scope and Content Summary This collection, consisting almost entirely of incoming letters to Ursula Roberts, spans half a century, from the 1910s to the 1960s. It includes correspondence discussing the work of "Susan Miles" and that of friends and literary associates. Also included are numerous letters from members of the Peace Pledge Union (a major pacifist organization), from other peace activists (some of them prominent religious figures), and from various women's activists. Suffrage and the ordination of women are key issues. Letters are filed alphabetically by last name (except when unavailable) of correspondent. Major correspondents include: Phoebe Hesketh, Yvonne Lubbock, Sylvia O'Malley, Dorothy Plowman, Max Plowman, Canon Guy Rogers, Maude Royden, Gordon Scott, Reverend A. P. Shephard, Dick Shepperd, Susan Stebbing, and Paula Wikins. The number of letters from each correspondent is noted in parentheses in the listing. Many of the letters have been annotated by Roberts, often many years later, explaining the context or significance of the contents.

  • AWAR of INDIVIDUALS: Bloomsbury Attitudes to the Great
    Introduction The Great War still haunts us. During the first few weeks of 1998, various British national broadsheets carried articles on recently released War Office papers dating back over eighty years and relating to the case of the celebrated First World War poet, Siegfried Sassoon. Although at times a fearless and some- times reckless warrior, known to the men who served under him as ‘Mad Jack’, Sassoon had also written powerful anti-war poetry and, though decorated for his bravery on the Western Front, had thrown his Military Cross into the river Mersey whilst on leave. According to his hitherto confidential army file, now released by the Public Records Office, the War Office had considered him ‘a lunatic’. The Indepen- dent carried with its article, which was entitled ‘Siegfried Sassoon – mad, sad or heroically confused?’, a large black and white photograph of Sassoon in his uniform. The soldier-poet stares out of the picture, as if into the future. One cannot tell from his expression whether he is about to frown or smile. Will he proffer the hand of friendship or the bayonet of hate? This was the paradox of Sassoon: that a brave, military man should write the verse that he did and also compose his famous ‘Soldier’s Declaration’ against the conduct of the war (which was printed in The Times in July 1916) but should then return to the trenches afterwards, to live or die. Was he mad? The authorities naturally thought so. Not only mad, but dangerously so – liable to influence others with his procla- mations on the conflict and its conduct.

However, War Resisters a cursory glance at the shelves of any bookshop, whether on the High Street, the Imperial War Museum or the National Archive, and a flick through the pages of the Pen and Sword catalogue would leave Cyril Pearce the very strong impression that most writers’ concerns, and their readers’ too, have been about war rather than peace. It would appear that accounts of individual heroics, memorable war leaders, battles, regimental histories and the grim technology of killing in the twentieth century, are endlessly fascinating.

The Repression and Articulation of War Experience: A Study of the Literary Culture of Craiglockhart War Hospital Anne-Catriona Schaupp Doctor of Philosophy The University of Edinburgh 2017 2 3 Abstract* Prior study of Craiglockhart War Hospital has focused on the hospital’s two most famous patients, Wilfred Owen and Siegfried Sassoon, along with the work of the psychotherapist W. H. R. Rivers. Craiglockhart’s literary culture is studied in detail for the first time in this thesis and the hospital’s therapeutic ethos used as a framework by which the creative work produced at the hospital can be examined. This thesis argues that the British Army’s lack of consensus regarding the best treatment of war neuroses facilitated the development of Craiglockhart’s expressive culture, in which patients were encouraged both to articulate their wartime memories and return to purposeful activity.
