摘要

THE Alexander Library has recently added to its Gosse collectiona number of interesting letters to Siegfried Sassoonrunning from the twenty years from 1908 to Gosse's death in1928. Some have been printed in Evan Charteris's The Life and Lettersof Sir Edmund Gosse (1931); others are unpublished.1 Onething they emphasize is Sassoon's assiduity in promoting his literarycareer, a motif he carefully omitted in The Memoirs of GeorgeSherstony his three-volume account of his life up through The GreatWar. It is a work which increasingly we are agreeing to assign to thedomain of fiction. One of Sassoon's lifelong problems was reconcilingor at least understanding his polarities as sportsman, on the one hand,and author, on the other. As he says, "One half of me was huntingfieldand the other was gentleman writer."2 Hemingway wouldshow how these two identities could be reconciled, but Sassoon'sproblem was that he imagined that literature had to be delicate ifnot frail to be "beautiful." The hunting-field half of him he depictsas the healthy, thoroughly philistine Sherston; the gentleman writerhalf he presents as "Siegfried Sassoon," the actor and agent of recallin The Old Century and Seven More Years (1939), The Wealdof Youth (1942), and Siegfried's Journey (1945). It is entirely asthe aspirant gentleman writer aged 22 that he first presents himselfto the 59-year-old Edmund Gosse in 1908.
