Cultural Nationalism and Modern Manuscripts: Kingsley Amis, Saul Bellow, Franz Kafka
In Sep 1960, with the encouragement of the Standing Conference of National and University Librarians, Philip Larkin sent a questionnaire to 'twenty \"leading writers\", among them T. S. Eliot, IL M. Forster, and Graham Greene, asking about the disposition of their literary manuscripts. The idea of the questionnaire was inspired by a letter Larkin received from an American library asking him if he would donate his own papers. The letter arrived sometime before 10 Oct 1958, when Larkin wrote to the Times Literary Supplement about 'the growing practice of American libraries of soliciting the gift of manuscripts or worksheets from living authors for study and preservation. Here, Leader talks about modern manuscripts from writers including Kingsley Amis, Saul Bellow, and Franz Kafka.

Movement Fiction and Englishness
The writers associated with the Movement helped to promote a notion of Englishness sometimes characterised as regressive or reactionary. They did so in their poems but also in their fiction and reviewing. In the novels of Philip Larkin, Kingsley Amis, John Wain, and D. J. Enright, particularly those written in the 1940s and 1950s when the group came to prominence, the connections between nationalism and literary health are more subtly anatomised than is conventionally thought. The novels are worth returning to not only for their influence on post-war British fiction but for the light they shed on questions still very much alive today.
