Rex Warner letters to E.W. Martin, 1946.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/40227611

Warner writes to E.W. Martin, English editor of Semaphore, a short-lived review journal of literature and the arts. These two letters respond to queries concerning his intellectual development and personal history. In the 30 August [1946] letter, Warner provides biographical details of his life through 1945 and notes he has a book of essays in press (The cult of power, 1946). On 30 October 1946 he answers philosophical and political questions about his belief in Marxism, why he became a writer, if he believes in inspiration, and if he experienced a religious conversion.
