Aggiungi al carrelloJoad's rise and fall are admirably described in Jason Tomes' entry on him in the Oxford DNB. The present letter was written after the disgrace which followed his 1948 conviction for fare-dodging. Not only was Joad dropped from the programme which had made him a nationwide celebrity, 'The Brains Trust', as a result, but his well-…founded hopes of a peerage were dashed. It is interesting to note from the present letter that Joad continued to work for the BBC after his disgrace. The letter is 2pp, landscape 12mo. In fair condition, aged and creased, with two punch-holes at head. The letter has one autograph emendation (the typed 'thought' replaced by 'been thinking'). It begins: 'Dear Mr. Burnett, | I enclose herewith the second pair of talks. With regard to Talk IV, I think after yesterday's experience that this may be a bit too long, and I have thought of methods of shortening it.' He explains, with reference to the text, what he proposes to do, ending 'I suggest, then, that these paragraphs could be cut out, which will give me a bit more time to read slowly.' From the papers of BBC producer Hugh Burnett, best-remembered for creating the television programme 'Face To Face', in which prominent men were interviewed by John Freeman.

Aggiungi al carrelloA poignant letter, written during Joad's final illness (he died on 9 April 1953). Joad's entry in the Oxford DNB ends with this assessment: 'Cyril Joad was an outstanding educator, a tireless proponent of 'progressive' causes, and one of the best-known broadcasters of the 1940s.' The recipient Vere Henry Collins (1872-1966), was… an author and grammatical stickler, and the letter concerns his 1952 book 'The Choice of Words'. 2pp, 4to. Aged and discoloured, and cropped at the head with loss of a line of text. Folded once for postage. Date given in ink at head, presumably by Collins. Written in pencil in a barely-legible hand. Signed 'Your old friend / Cyril Joad' and beginning: 'Vere, / You've written a lovely book. I'm ill in bed - have been for a very long time; prostate! - and have therefore read it with continuity and attention as it is "sweet" in the Victorian good sense of the word - the sense in which there aren't any 'sweet' girls now.' The concluding half of the letter is difficult to decipher. Postscript: 'PS For the next impression should not "Sydney" on p 154 be Melbourne? / PS (2) Why not continue in the same vein up to our time / Come and see me'.
