Per Wikipedia, Miriam Constance Beaumont-Vaughan (1901-1979), Better Known By Her Pseudonym Olive Moore, Was A Modernist English Writer Best Known For Three Well-Esteemed Novels: Celestial Seraglio (1929), Spleen (1930), And Fugue (1932), And For The Acerbic Essay Collection The Apple Is Bitten Again (1934). She Also Produced An Essay On D.H. Lawrence, Entitled Further Reflections On The Death Of A Porcupine, Which Was Privately Printed In 1933 And Included In Her Essay Collection. Her Collected Writings Was Published In 1992. Born In Hereford, Moore Was Acquainted With The Bloomsbury Literary Circles In London During Her Prolific Years, And With The Poet Hugh Mcdiarmid And The Radical London Bookseller And Publisher Charles Lahr. She Briefly Worked For The Daily Sketch. In The Early 1920'S, She Married The Sculptor Sava Botzaris (1894-1965). Otherwise, Little Is Known About Her Life, Beyond A Brief Autobiographic Sketch In 1933. Moore Claimed To Be Working On A Novel Entitled Amazon And Hero: The Drama Of The Greek War For Independence, Which Was Never Published. Due To Her Rapid Disappearance From The London Literary Scene, The Date And Location Of Her Death Remain Unknown, Though She Is Believed To Have Died Around 1970. Moore Has Been Termed "A Cross Between Virginia Woolf And Djuna Barnes, But With A More Biting Wit." Her Novels Make Free Use Of Modernist Techniques Such As Stream Of Consciousness In Their Frank Dealings With Issues Of Sexuality And Disability. Though Considered A Highly Talented Experimental Writer, Moore's Disappearance (And The Rarity Of Published Versions Of Her Texts Until The Mid-1990'S) Has Led To A Relative Critical Neglect Of Her Work, Until Recently.

Near fine/ good-only Jisc LHD locates 7 copies (5 legal deposit libraries (except NLW/LGC), UoNottingham & Senate House Library). A rather glorious copy of this fragile and oddly attractive edition of Moore's meditation on D H Lawrence, which sold out almost immediately and within a year was "almost impossible to obtain." The elusive British author and journalist Olive Moore (pseud. of Miriam Constance Beaumont Vaughan; 1901-1979), described, variously, as an "enfant terrible of British literature," "a cross between Virginia Woolf and Djuna Barnes, but with a more biting wit," and, aptly for this title, "the female Lawrence," is perhaps best known for her sudden disappearance from the London literary scene from 1934. Recent scholarship, which has significantly swelled knowledge of her later life and work, reveals that "despite her rising success and notoriety as a novelist, Moore was clearly unhappy": "I feel on the verge of collapse; all day; I weep down streets, uncontrolled and unladylike," she wrote to the poet Rex Fairburn in 1932, the year her friends, Charles Lahr and Alec Bristow of the Red Lion Bookshop, published her Lawrence essay (Cavey, 2022). Lahr had known Lawrence well and Blue Moon Press had published the first unexpurgated edition of his final poetry collection Pansies three years earlier. 1932 saw a glut of Lawrence-related publications, the author having died in 1930. A marked departure from her earlier three novels (all published by Jarrolds), Further Reflections proved Moore's penultimate (literary) publication and was included in her final outing, the collection of pensées, The Apple is Bitten Again (Wishart, 1934), as she was "sick and tired of being quoted and plagiarised without acknowledgement". The striking photographic frontis featuring Sava Botzaris' sculpture of the author was also reproduced in The Apple Is Bitten Again (as well as being reused in the Dalkey Archive Press edition of Moore's Collected Writings (1992)). Moore had married the Serbian sculptor in 1924; they separated in the late 1930s and divorced sometime in the following decade.

Condizione: Very Good. Short good signed handwritten letter to journalist and magazine editor Louise Coury ('Modern Girl') making an appointment and asking to be sent a copy of her magazine if he is mentioned. Dated 17/1/36 on smart notepaper embossed with his name in red. I page, about 45 words and boldly signed. Sava Botzaris was the son of the Court Painter to King Peter I of Serbia. He studied first under his father and then in Naples and Rome before going to Paris and finally settling in London in 1920. Thereafter he had one man exhibitions at the Fine Art Society in 1926, French Gallery in 1929 and the Leicester Galleries in 1938 before he emigrated in 1941 to Venezuela. In his time he portrayed some famous people -George Bernard Shaw, the actor Charles Laughton, Haile Selassie, the King of Ethiopia, and the writer James Joyce. Very good indeed. Signedes.
