Description:This booklet,'Hail, O King!' - The Last Days of John Gawsworth, and accompanying DVD (The 1970 BBC LINE-UP documentary on John Gawsworth), was printed in association with the Friends of Arthur Machen, and was distributed free to members.Terence Ian Fytton Armstrong (29 June 1912 - 23 September 1970), better known as John Gawsworth was a British writer, poet and compiler of anthologies, both of poetry and of short stories. Gawsworth had, as a young man, been a tireless supporter of and campaigner for the pre-modernist writers he idolised - notably Shiel, Arthur Machen, Ernest Dowson and Richard Middleton. By the ‘30s, these authors had become altogether unfashionable, and Machen and Shiel had every reason to appreciate Gawsworth’s efforts on their behalf (Dowson and Middleton had both died young). Shiel expressed his gratitude by designating Gawsworth as his executor, and as his successor as King of Redonda.He was crowned the king of Redonda in 1947and gave dukedoms to writers such as J.B.Priestley, Dorothy L.Sayers, Arthur Ransome, Henry Williamson, George Barker, Henry Miller, Dylan Thomas, and Lawrence & Gerald Durrell. The actors Vincent Price and Dirk Bogarde were also honoured thus, as, incongruously, was Diana Dors. Gawsworth attempted to sell his kingdom to a member of the Swedish Royal Family, but the sale was never concluded. That there are now as many as nine pretenders to the Redondan throne is a testament to the confusion of Gawsworth’s last years.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
