ERNEST TEMPLE THURSTON
The English author insists that his article be printed without any
changes.
Autograph Letter signed: "E. Temple Thurston", 2 pages (front
and verso), 4½x7. London, 1921 June 1. On letterhead of the Royal
Automobile Club to "Dear Sir", in full: "I enclose my article
on 'The Future of the Novel'. I hope you will print it as written. If used as an
interview - which seems to me rather difficult - I would request that nothing be
omitted as the sequence would be broken. If you cannot strictly
adhere to this, please return the M.S. to my home address: Goddards Green,
Cranbrook, Kent. Yours truly". English poet, playwright and novelist
Ernest Temple Thurston (1879-1933) wrote 40 books, 17 of which were made into
films; and several plays, three performed on Broadway and 4 made into films.
His best known novel, The City of Beautiful Nonsense (1909), was
made into two films (silent and sound). His best known play, The Wandering
Jew (1921), also spawned silent and talking movies. A subsequent letter
from Thurston, not included here, angrily rebuked this editor for not printing
the article exactly as written, as he had insisted. Normal mailing fold. Lightly
worn. Slightly creased. Otherwise, fine condition.
