Signing off the blog... Heseltine to Sorabji (1927 and 1929)

No letters from Sorabji to Heseltine survive from after July 1922. From Heseltine, just two Christmas postcards survive, from 1927 and 1929 (texts and images below).

For the full edited and annotated texts of all Sorabji's letters to Heseltine, and more, see Barry's and my Routledge publication:

This blog relates to the research project and book Kaikhosru Sorabji's Letters to Philip Heseltine (Peter Warlock) ed Brian Inglis and Barry Smith (Routledge 2020). During 2022 - from January to July, specifically - excerpts from the edition will be posted here. These posts reflect the texts of letters sent from British-Asian composer, pianist and writer Kaikhosru Sorabji (1892-1988) to his friend and colleague, the musician Philip Heseltine - better known by his pseudonym Peter Warlock (1894-1930) to the date, exactly 100 years on. Thereby giving a sense of the rhythm of the correspondence (initiated in 1913) as it drew to its close, and the gap between then and now.  The complete transcribed correspondence (based on a manuscript in the British Library) is contained in the said book, with footnote annotations, contextual documents and an extensive introductory and interpretative essay. Available from Routledge in hardback, paperback and eBook formats. https://www

The sale of my works is not so overpowering in size that I can’t cope with it and it ought to be rather amusing. But I’m concerned about you and Orr. Try Goodwin & Tabb why don’t you? I have nothing whatever to do with Robber BLion Kling-Klux-Klang.   I’m going away on July 24 th or 25 th for my holiday and right glad of it shall I be after nearly two years incessant writing Sonata II – Symphony – Sonata III.   Yes, Salvarsan is a good name for him [Aleister Crowley]: for he’s as much a fraud as that much boomed “remedy”. I’ve been reading a perfectly appalling dynamiting of it by a nature therapist who
