One question: why is page 180 devoted to the unidentified cartouche of Horemheb's prenomen, Meryamun being the last pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty? Did Lawrence Durrell have a fondness for the king who tried to obliterate the Amarna Period, that is, to destroy all the monuments and artifacts of Akhenaten, Nefertiti, Tut, etc. Bruce -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I'm sure many on this list will remember Catherine Aldington's "Letter to Larry" in the 1987 /Twentieth Century Literature/. -James ------------------------------- CATHERINE ALDINGTON [1938-2010] 'I am selfish enough to be pleased that she loves me more than anyone else in the world, because that is how I feel about her!' [RA to HD. 9th August 1939]. Catherine Aldington died in France on 20^th July 2010 barely three weeks after her seventy-second birthday. Catha was born in Marylebone in July 1938. She was the daughter and only child of Richard Aldington and Netta Patmore, formerly McCulloch. When she was seven months old her parents shipped her out to America on the /S. S./ /Aquitania /arriving in New York on 17th February 1939. By April 1941 they were in Florida before heading for Hollywood where Catha spent her childhood years. Catha returned to Europe with her parents in 1946 and settled in Paris over the winter of 1946-1947. The family then moved south to Le Lavandou from August 1947 through to February 1951 during which time Netta returned to England. Catha remained with her father, moving in the spring of 1951 to Montpellier. It was from here that Catha matriculated at nearby University of Aix in October 1960. Her father died in July 1962 after which Catha made her final move to the marshes in the tranquil surroundings of the Carmargue where she met and married Jacques Guillaume. As the direct link to the literary world of her father, Catha did not suffer fools and was always on the alert when approached. A poet herself, Catha was nevertheless reluctant to step into the limelight and came to terms with being the daughter of a respected writer by translating his work into French. Her acclaimed translation of Richard Aldington's poem /Reverie dans le Jardin du Luxembourg /was published in 1986 by Actes Sud. Her death, coming so soon after the death of Norman Gates who championed her father only adds to the greater sense of loss that surrounds us; she will be sadly missed by a body of international friends. Let us all hope that there will not be a flurry of academic jousting amongst those left behind and that Catha may be allowed to rest in peace. On a personal level, my friendship with Catha extends back to 1986. I believe we helped each other through some difficult times. We even laid various plans for her to come over to Cornwall but it was never to be. Over recent years dear Catha endured a prolonged and painful illness but towards the end she was ready to go. Catherine Aldington leaves a widespread family in England, France and Italy but more significantly, her twin daughters Karine and Florence and their children. The wishes of the family have yet to be made known but I understand that a Memorial gathering is being held at /Les Pelegrins/ at 10.00 am on 23rd July. Already Catha's email service has been closed. Friends wishing to pay their respects might write to The family of Catherine Aldington at Mas 'Les Pellegrins,' Quartier Pont Gau, 13460 Saintes Maries de la Mer, France. Catha's passing will inevitably affect the next issue of the /New Canterbury Literary Society Newsletter /for which Andrew Frayn has put his head in the noose as guest editor. Please send personal recollections of Catha and indeed other items of Aldingtonia to him. His email address is: andrew.frayn at manchester.ac.uk David Wilkinson St. Ives, Cornwall 22nd July 2010
