Selected Richard Aldington correspondence, 1906-1963.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/311867398

These letters and papers, from and about Richard Aldington, offer a view of his later years, which were marred by financial troubles and the disapproval by the British literati and public of his book on T.E. Lawrence. Although these letters reflect some of Aldington's legal battles and financial troubles, they also reflect continued confidence in his literary judgment. The correspondence contains several letters of approval of the Lawrence book and a request, in 1960, from a publisher for a comment to the courts favoring publication of Lady Chatterley's Lover.
