Joad'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.…

Hardback, LXXXVI+172 p., 2 b/w ill., 155 x 245 mm. ISBN 9782503031514. These two editions present Peter Abelard's Exposition of the Biblical Hexameron and a work which is a shorter version of this and which is usually called an Abbreviation. In his Exposition, which is much influenced by the commentaries of St Augustine, Abelard gives priority to the historical and literal sense and attempts a naturalistic explanation of the process of creation while retaining symbolic and moral interpretations. Like his contemporaries, William of Conches and Thierry of Chartres, Abelard shows an especial interest in Plato's Timaeus, in chaos theory, in the four elements, and in the anima mundi. But his Exposition is also a profoundly religious work. The manuscripts and the contributions of their various scribes are closely examined in an Introduction in which the possibility is considered that one of these scribes may be Abelard himself. Additions and changes made by the scribes are printed in different types in the edition which follows. A separate Introduction assesses the nature of the Abbreviation and compares it with the Exposition. The two editions were begun by Mary Romig+ and Charles Burnett respectively. They have been prepared for publication by David Luscombe. Languages: Latin, English. 0 g.…

8vo, original green cloth, gilt, jacket. clxxxii, 509 pages; 80 plates. Near fine.

The present item is the producer Hugh Burnett's own copy, from his papers, of the transcript of John Freeman's interview with John, broadcast in the groundbreaking BBC series 'Face to Face' on 15 May 1960. This single-spaced typed transcript was produced for inclusion in Burnett's book 'Face to Face / Edited and introduced by Hugh Burnett' (London: Jonathan Cape, 1964), and is marked up with printing instructions in pencil and red ink, with a few proof corrections in green ink. 3pp, foolscap 8vo, on three leaves stapled together. In fair condition, lightly aged, with a few pin holes at top right of the leaves. An energetic, zesty interview. 'I'm a Welshman', John declares, 'a bad Welshman'. A passage regarding John's childhood conveys the general tone: 'I can remember one thing in an early school in Tenby. I'd practically idolized one of the masters, as schoolboys are apt to do, I think, and he betrayed me and held me up before the whole school, denounced me as a liar, d'you see, and the fact was I was completely innocent. I made a mistake, I know, a formal matter, but instead of protesting I succumbed before the class. I never forgave that man and I'm very glad to be able to report that soon after he blew his brains out, you see - in a railway train. I think I must have put something on him.' Further on he describes his affinity with gypsies: 'I was told to avoid them, by my nurses. I was always fascinated by them as a child, seeing them in the markets at Haverfordwest, strange foreign people. And then when I got to Liverpool I fell in with a great friend we made, John Samson, who was a student of Romany, and we went about a lot together. There I learnt the fine dialect spoken by one tribe in the north.' There are two interesting deletions. First, John's identification of the hospital at which his first wife died in France as being in the 'Boulevard Arago' has been scored through in black ink. Second, the passage 'Oh you got it from there? I thought I'd disguised it sufficiently.' has been typed through with crosses before the passage 'Certainly I'm interested in women. In beauty, I should think. If it's beauty, it's love. In my case! You've got to get excited before you can do anything, and beauty is a great excitant.'.…

The present item is the producer Hugh Burnett's own copy of the transcript of John Freeman's interview of Cecil Beaton, broadcast in the BBC series 'Face to Face' on 18 February 1962. Duplicated typescript. 4pp, foolscap 8vo. Numbered, and headed 'CECIL BEATON', otherwise consisting entirely of the transcript, with no other details. Aged and worn, with punch holes for binder. On four leaves which were originally stapled together, but with the first and last leaves now detached. Page references 1-10 (presumably to a shorthand transcript) in the outer margin. The present transcript was prepared for Burnett's book 'Face to Face | Edited and introduced by Hugh Burnett' (London: Jonathan Cape, 1964), but it includes several passages omitted from the version printed on pp.38-40 of that work. For example, the very first paragraph here is not present in the published version: 'I was very slow in finding a vocation, and I think I took the shortest cut in every direction. I wouldn't say that yet I know which is my real vocation . . . . . . There's an enormous amount of hazard in what I do. A whole lot of theatre jobs might come in succession, or perhaps writing jobs, I can never say, "Well, I'm going to spend March and April, doing one sort of job, and then switch."' Other omitted topics are: lack of 'complete satisfaction' in his work; his 'well-off' chilhood and his difficult relationship with his father ('He was a great cricketer, [] but intuitively I went against many of the things that he stood for, and liked.'); how he was 'most objectionable' once he had 'discovered what I was about'; his father's business difficulties; his 'bizarre style of dress' and his diaries: 'I really looked upon my diaries from a technical point of view. I came across this board and I started reading them, and I was appalled by the person that was revealed there. But suddenly there would be a little patch that I thought had great vitality, that still seemed to be valid. So I collected them together, and even if I came out of them in a pretty unbecoming light, and I thought they were interesting, then I let them go in.'.…

JJohn Freeman's interview with Jomo Kenyatta was broadcast on 26 November 1961 in the BBC TV series 'Face to Face'. The present duplicated typescript of the interview is from the papers of the programme's producer Hugh Burnett, and is edited for publication in the book 'Face to Face | Edited and introduced by Hugh Burnett' (London: Jonathan Cape, 1964). 1p., foolscap 8vo. Headed 'JOMO KENYATTA', otherwise consisting entirely of the transcript, with no other details. Marked up with instructions to the typesetter in pencil and red and green ink, and corresponding to the text as printed on p.15 of Burnett's book. In fair condition, aged and worn. Kenyatta responds in a forthright fashion to Freeman's probing, as for example: 'We don't want to rob anybody of his property. [] what we want to get is power, that is, the government. [] We want help from those who can give us help. [] Those who want to be masters must find somewhere else, because what we want is friends to help us. Those who can help us, but masters no. We have no place for them.'.…

This is the transcript of John Freeman's celebrated interview of Evelyn Waugh, broadcast in the BBC series 'Face to Face' on 26 June 1960. The Waugh interview is not among those which feature in Burnett's book 'Face to Face' (Jonathan Cape, 1964) and has never been published. Waugh was apprehensive about the interview, writing beforehand to his friend Tom Driberg, who knew Freeman from his time as a fellow Labour MP: 'I have let myself in for cross-examination on Television by a man named Major Freeman who I am told was a colleague of yours in the Working Class Movement. Do you know anything damaging about him that I can introduce into our conversation if he becomes insolent?' Freeman was aware, from the start, of the 'rehearsed antagonistic attitude' that Waugh was 'going to take to the interviewer', and during the course of the interview he found him 'very difficult [.] very uptight; I think he disliked me and whether he did or not he was extremely nervous.' (In contrast Burnett, in his introduction to the 1964 book, numbers Waugh among the interviewees who 'far from shrinking from the probe [] seemed to enjoy the experience'.) Looking back Freeman considered the interview 'an important one, really because this man in my judgement is one of the unquestionably great writers of this century, and I attached enormous importance to trying to make some sort of relation if I could between his work and Waugh as a human being. [] of all the people on the list of Face to Faces he is the one whom I think I hold in most honour.' The present transcript is a duplicated typescript, 13pp., foolscap 8vo. Paginated 1-13. First page headed: 'EVELYN WAUGH | FACE TO FACE | with | John Freeman | Produced by Hugh Burnett | tv 26.6.60'. 'HMB' (initials of transcriber?) at foot of last page. On thirteen leaves stapled together. In fair condition, lightly aged, with last leaf detached. The transcript contains eight substantial passages which are not present in the only version of the broadcast interview at present available. (That version is a little over 26 minutes long, and it seems unlikely that the original, broadcast between 9.40 and 10.10, can have been cut down.) The first passage is Waugh's ten-line response to Freeman's question 'What's your earliest memory of a [sic] family home? | WAUGH: Well, my father built a little house on a plot of land in what is now entirely obliterated, but it's hard to believe that fifty-six years ago there was a village called North End, Hampstead, a little hamlet absolutely rural village within five miles of London. That's where he settled. It was quite distinct from Hamptsead and had a village pub, famous in song called the Bull and Bush, a little village shop and post-office combined, it had a dairy farm and the dairyman who sold his old milk, a lady of the manor entirely like an English rural village now. | Does that house still stand? | I don't know. I should think not. The whole place has been obliterated and Golders Green has grown up, you know, from the bottom of the hill.' In the second passage Waugh discusses the merits of a large family. In the third he recalls that at school 'we were rather strictly brought up and severely punished. . . . . all this talk now about whether beating's a deterrent the one thing which one could do at school which one wasn't beaten for was Corps offences. They generally imposed military punishments which were very negligible, like defaulters' parade, so that all our high spirits used to be concentrated on making the Corps ridiculous.' In the fourth Waugh recalls his youthful loss of faith: 'I remember I was sacristan and I and a fellow sacristan who is now a member of your party [Tom Driberg?] . . . . . . . were folding up some sort of surplice or vestment or something and I revealed to him, in secret, while we were doing this the fact that there was no God, and he was much shocked and he said "if you think that you've got no business to touch this chasuble" - or whatever it was - "and you must go and tell the Chaplain". And so I went off and told the Chaplain that there wasn't a God and he wasn't the least impressed and didn't really I think do anything much to convince me there was. He was a very nice man!' In the fifth he discusses his children's education.' In the sixth he describes how his first novel Decline and Fall was 'a sort of succès d'estime, and that brought in commissions for articles and things'. The sixth passage is an important exchange. Freeman asks whether Waugh has 'a certain purpose in mind' when writing, and Waugh responds: 'Quite unconscious. It wouldn't occur to me to sit down and say I will now write a book to reveal the horrors of the gangs in this district or something like that. | FREEMAN: No, no. I'm sure of that. But now for instance recently you said that in your next book you're going to deal with ?Crouchback's [sic to question mark] realisation that no good comes from public causes but only private causes of the spirit. Now, this seems to me to be a didactic theme which the novelist is perfectly entitled to take, and I wonder when that first came to you? | WAUGH: Oh, I think always. I've never believe in public causes. | FREEMAN: But you see, in your earlier books I would have said the characterisation was perhaps not profound enough to reveal the private causes of the spirit. | WAUGH: No, that's quite true, but you certainly wouldn't say they revealed any public causes, would you? | FREEMAN: No! No, I wouldn't indeed! What is your favorite [sic] book? | WAUGH: One called Helena, no one's ever read, but awfully good.' In the eighth passage Freeman suggests that Waugh's Catholicism is bound up with 'the aristocratic life and so on', and wonders whether he would be 'equally interested in writing a book about the Little Flower, some Irish peasant saint' as the Empress Helena, to which Waugh replies 'But it wasn't about her sanctity I was writing, it was about the conditions of fourth century Rome.…
