Professor Emeritus A. Trevor Tolley, who was the Dean of the Faculty of Arts at 杏吧原创 and the Chair of the Comparative Literature Department, has been awarded a fellowship at the Harry Ransom Centre at The University of Texas at Austin to work on his study of the great British editor, John Lehmann.

Lehmann was the founder and editor of New Writing, Folios of New Writing, Daylight, New Writing and Daylight, The Penguin New Writing, Orpheus, and The London Magazine.  Lehmann wrote to Professor Tolley to congratulate him on the publication of his first major study, The Poetry of the Thirties, and this led to a friendship that lasted for twelve years until Lehmann鈥檚 death in 1978, when Tolley edited a book in Lehmann鈥檚 honour.  The Harry Ransom Centre has all the files of Lehmann鈥檚 editorship, including the papers connected with his association with Tolley.
