Hi Bruce,

There are a few helpful articles on Durrell and Spengler:

Christensen, Peter G. “The Hazards of Intellectual Burglary in Lawrence 
Durrell’s The Revolt of Aphrodite.” Studies in the Literary Imagination 
24.1 (1991): 41–56.

Clawson, James M. “Between Physics and Metaphysics: Spenglerian 
Bergsonism in Durrell’s Revolt of Aphrodite.” Mosaic: A Journal for the 
Interdisciplinary Study of Literature 43.4 (December 2010): 123–39.

Dickson, Gregory. “Spengler’s Theory of Architecture in Durrell’s Tunc 
and Nunquam.” Deus Loci: The Lawrence Durrell Quarterly 5.1 (1981): 272–80.

Morrison, James Raymond. “Memory and Light in Lawrence Durrell’s The 
Revolt of Aphrodite.” Labrys 5 (1979): 141–53.

Clawson also discusses Spengler extensively in his just-released 
/Durrell Re-read/ through FDU Press.  I'm re-reading the book right now, 
and it's excellent.

Cheers,
James
