Elizabeth Jane Howard postcard, Jamaica, to Tom Maschler, London

Description: A collection of correspondence between Kingsley Amis, Elizabeth Jane Howard, and Tom Maschler, their editor and publisher at Jonathan Cape, Ltd. (London); the letters and postcards span the years 1957 to 1977 and were written from various locations including Wales, England, Mexico, Amsterdam, Greece, Mallorca, and the United States. The letters cover professional subjects such as sales figures and the progress of their novels and also include personal news about their families and discussions about their marriage. A few of the letters were written during the period when Cecil Day Lewis, Poet Laureate and former lover of Elizabeth Jane Howard, lived with Amis and Howard before his death in 1972. The correspondence also includes a small number of letters from Tom Maschler to Amis and Howard individually and together; and one letter from Jenifer Marshall, Tom Maschler's secretary. The collection contains two copies of the short story by Amis, "Four Characters in Search of a Virus" and a contract for a film treatment of "The Diamond Spy."
