INTRODUCTIO N

Clarence Malcolm Lowry, the fourth son of a Liverpool cotto nbroker, was born on July 28th, 1909, in Birkenhead, Cheshire ,England . Lowry's writing career began early . As a young man a tThe Leys Public School, he wrote short stories and'articles fo rThe Leys Fortnightly and, by the age of twenty-four, he ha dpublished his first novel, Ultramarine .

After six months aboard the S .S . Pyrrhus as a deck-hand ,the experience upon which Ultramarine is based, Lowry travelle dto the United States to visit the American writer Conrad Aiken ,the man who was later to become not only Lowry ' s guardian bu talso one of his closest friends . In 1933, a year after graduatin gfrom Cambridge University with a B .A ., Lowry met his first wife ,Jan Gabrial, with whom he moved to Cuernavaca, Mexico in 1936 .It was in Cuernavaca that Lowry began work on his major novel ,UndertheVolcano, which was to take him more than ten years t ocomplete .

In 1940, with his second wife, Margerie Bonner, Lowry move dto Dollarton, British Columbia, where he lived for the nex tfourteen years . During this period, Malcolm continued to wor kon Under the Volcano and, despite numerous set-backs, includin gthe destruction of their shack by fire in 1944, the novel wa sfinally published in 1947 . At this time, Lowry was also workin gon a number of short stories, novels, radio scripts, and poems ,most of which unfortunately were never completed .

In 1954 the Lowrys left Dollarton and, after two years o ftravelling throughout Europe, they settled in Ripe, Sussex, wher eLowry died on June 27, 1957 .

A number of Lowry's works were edited and publishe dposthumously by his widow, Margerie Lowry . These include :HearUs0LordFromHeaven Thy DwellingPlace (a collection o fshort stories), Selected Poems of Malcolm Lowry, Dark as th eGrave Wherein My Friend is Laid, and October Ferry to Gabriola .

Many persons have contributed towards the perservatio nof the Lowry collection . Shortly before his Dollarton residenc ewas levelled, Lowry's manuscripts were rescued by Norman Levy an dhanded over to Phil Thomas for safe-keeping . Earle Birney late rcontacted many of Lowry's associates asking them to contribut ewhat materials they had saved . Working with Earle Birney an dMargerie Lowry, Basil Stuart-Stubbs and Anne Yandle got i ntouch with dozens of Lowry's friends, many of whom generousl yadded to the collection .

GENERAL COMMENTS ON THE DOCUMENTS BY MARTIN LOWRY

FILE LABELLED 'DOCUMENTS OF IMPORTANCE' IN ARL'S WRITING .(These are much the same selection as those brought to the conference in Apri l1997, and I'm repeating the comments made then for the record) .Individual documents .I . From Miss Bell, the nanny who took a job as nurse on a liner (see letterhead )and was about to return . Cited extensively by Bowker in Pursued by Furies, pp .10-11 . Probably the earliest letter by ten years, but uncertain status as part of th eLowry 'Corpus" .

11 . Two notes from Wilfrid . Comment on freezing water in Caldicot tdormitories is interesting . 'Dickensian' conditions survived Dickens by quite afew years .

111 . A very typical 'letter home' . Malcolm would be in his last year a tPreparatory School . The amount of reading he was covering is significant. Theallusion in the first sentences to the improvement in his eye condition isimportant, as it reveals both the underlying truth of Malcolm's later reference sand the towering superstructure of fantasy that he built on it.

IV. Curious follow-up to III, from a girlfriend named 'Helen' whom I canno totherwise identify . Written to Malcolm 16 March, and alluding to his ey econdition . Was Malcolm already circulating different versions ?

V. Two odd survivals . First an undated postcard from Malcolm's eldest brothe rStuart, wishing him luck on departure either for Caldicott or The Leys .The second is a menu card from an event variously called a 'slay' or 'bumpsupper' which figured largely in English education until the 1960s and celebrate dvictory in a sporting event . Malcolm would have been in his first year at th eLeys. Presence of elder brother Russell on the team is worth noting, as is th ereading by the housemaster Mr. Balgarnie - prototype of Mr . Chips. Having abrother on a winning team helped with settling down . The whole occasionshould have been a more literary banquet than the recitation of 'The Dying Pig 'suggests .

VI. Probably 1926 : studies only became available to senior members of a house .This should be read in conjunction with the letters of John Stirland in the'Bradbrook' file .

VII. St. Catherine's . Date seems to have been pencilled in later and may no trepresent exact day of composition .

Vlli . Stuart Lowry's letter to Russell after Malcolm's funeral . From Russell'spapers rather than the Inglewood files, and interesting chiefly for the allusions t othe time spent by Arthur and his eldest'son in discussing Malcolm's affairs rathe rthan cotton prices .

Page 169: MALCOLM LOWRY 1909-1957

12 6

IX. Two drafts of Russell Lowry's letter to the Liverpool City Librarian, 2 8February 1963.Five letters from Librarian, 5 March 1963-22 November 1973, acknowledgin greceipt of original and covering early use of the material by Muriel Bradbrook.

BOX-FILE, LABELLED 'ARL ON FAMILY MATTERS' .The material is wildly disorganised , and includes a number of blank sheets plus afolder marked 'Fiches' which seems to consist just of odd notes or jottings . Thereare, however, seven fairly coherent sections clipped together and headed in amanner that shows ARL tackling the topics in sequence . They are -A.O. LowryEvelynInglewood itsel fMalcolm's sex life?Malcolm, the final yearsLowry Bros.Sweep up rubbish not already dealt with, as left by the commentators an dbiographers, especially Day, Kilgath and Davenport .

Though the Malcolm autographs are obviously the most exciting items in thearchive, my gut feeling is that these may in the long run prove to be the mostimportant. Together, the seven sections add up to well over 100 manuscrip tsheets containing personal recollections which are now irreplaceable. Ho wmuch of this material was passed to biographers - notably Bowker and Bradbroo k- I do not know. Draft replies to letters in the other files will probably revea lextensive duplication, and I am not going to take the responsibility of removin gany of ARL's notes . I had no idea that ARL ever attempted such acomprehensive family history as this and so far as I know, it is absolutely unique .

BOXFILE LABELLED 'NEWSLETTERS AND SOME CORRESPONDENCEARISING' .The sequence of Newsletters and Reviews , is incomplete, running from 1977 to1989. I can see no sign of their being annotated, but in case they are, I think it' sbest to include them. Also a copy of Canadian Literature 8 (1961) .Enclosed in the boxfile is a small folder file containing letters related (I assume )to articles in the Reviews . Correspondents are -Cynthia Sugar s'Ralph' (?), evidently a Cambridge contemporary of Malcolm's .Sheryl SalloumRonald BinnsPaul TiessenMuriel BradbrookLaurence Clipper (with covering letter from Headmaster of the Leys )Christoper AckerleyMichael KarwowskiARL's draft replies (chiefly to Binns) are much better organised than in other

files .

UNMARKED FOLDER FILE, CONTAINING FIVE ENCLOSURES -A. J. Buston and Company, Accounts 31 August 194 5A. J . Buston and Company, Accounts 28 February, .1947A. O. Lowry, Dec'd ., Estate Accounts 31 March, 195 2Estate of Evelyn Lowry, Deceased, Financial Statements 5 April, 195 2Estate of Evelyn Lowry, Deceased, Financial Statements 5 April, 195 3Estate of Evelyn Lowry, Deceased, Balance sheet as at 6 December 1954 .One covering letter from Charles E Dolby to ARL, 8 March 1955.(This material is of indirect interest only, but since it does contain allusions tha tshed light on Malcolm's financial position it ought to be available) .

FOLDER LABELLED 'CML ESTATE' .Contains the 'follow-on' from the previous file, dealing with Malcolm's share o fthe estate and the legal arrangements made to place it in a trust that allowed hi mto benefit from the income but not to control the capital . Malcolm's frequen tmoves of course made this a complicated business, and the most important ite mis probably a cluster of six letters between SOL (Stuart) and Majorie in th eimmediate aftermath of Malcolm's death .

FOLDER LABELLED 'BRADBROOK . J . STIRLAND '21 letters from Muriel Bradbook, 16 April 1973-12 April 1984, dealing with th epreparation of her Malcolm Lowry - his art and early life, , and other matters ofinterest.8 letters from John Stirland and 1 from the Headmaster of the Leys, dated 3 0November 1972- 15 March 1976 . These were probably included in this folderbecause some allude to Professor Bradbrook's planned work . Stirland's letters aredeceptively relevant and interesting, as they provide first-hand background o nthe not very happy realities of English boarding school life between the wars . Ifnot actually 'Mr Chips' himself, he was a contemporary and colleague .Remainder of the file contains ARL's draft replies - more copious than usual andunsorted. I'm including them in case they provide insights on Professo rBradbrook's use of the material .

FOLDER LABELLED 'BOWKER'About 50 letters from Gordon Bowker, dated 6 September, 1983 to 27 July, 1993 ,only six month before ARL's death . Also a number of photocopies relevant tothe material and (probably most interesting in the final analysis but mos ttantalising now) endless jottings by ARL which represent his thoughts on th ereplies to Bowker. Unfortunately none of the material is in proper sequence andwithout the proper reference works to hand I dare not try to organise it. Theremust be a pretty complete literary archive on the assembly of Bowker's Pursued,by Furies, and that book would certainly be the best starting point .

FOLDER LABELLED 'ANNE SMITH - "CLOSER LOOK" .

Page 171: MALCOLM LOWRY 1909-1957

128

11 letters from Anne Smith on the composition of The Art of Malcolm Lowry,for which ARL wrote a preface . A typed draft of that piece, with a number ofARL's notes thereon, are included. Perhaps the most coherent file in the literaryarchive .

FOLDER LABELLED 'EVELYN FROM AOL' .21 letters, varying in length and content but giving the measure of AOL' swanderings and consequent remoteness. Occasional allusions to Malcolm (e .g .in top, undated letter placed in 1931 by ARL) do show that however remote AO Lmay have been emotionally, he was neither uncaring nor ineffective .

FOLDER LABELLED 'BOYS' LETTERS (Evelyn's hand, I think) MAINLY SO L(ARL'S hand) .I am in two minds about including this, as the letters have only the most distan tallusions to Malcolm . But Wilfrid's letters give a good picture of school life an dvalues during WW1, and the rather exaggerated rhetoric which is use deverywhere provides a good check on Malcolm's letters to AOL .

FOLDER LABELLED 'FILM' .This is another difficult folder, containing an extraordinary assortment of odd sand ends. The core is of ARL'S notes for and impressions of the interview .There is also a sketch of his, depicting the film crew as seen by him and severalmuch earlier sketches, including pencil portraits of AOL, Evelyn and ARL b yStuart (SOL) and some drawings of ships and planes by ARL (aet . 12) .How much of this will interest you? I feel obliged to take the ARL sketche sout, as they will certainly be of interest to Mum. But would you like at least aphotocopy of the film crew? And what about the SOL portraits ?

FOLDER LABELLED 'SHERRILL GRACE' (by me) .9 letters, 15 May 1975-12 May 1991, with ARL drafts in reply. ARL's last note is adepressing one for me, showing him refusing the material which in consequenc edid not find its way into the first volume of Sursuim Corda . All is now includedin the 'documents of importance' folder . The letters were scattered in variousother folders, notably the 'Bowker file' and the 'Newsletter Boxfile' . I assembledthem into a separate folder because both because they form an important archiveon the editing of Malcolm's letters, and because they show that ARL's reaction onthis occasion was quite untypical of him, and due (I'm sure) to fast declinin ghealth.
