West Collection

A fascinating snapshot of the literary twentieth-century.

This collection was given to the Library by Tom West, who was Librarian here from 1985-6 and continues to be a regular visitor to the Library.  The collection spans almost the complete twentieth century in terms of fiction, including Elizabeth Bowen and Rosamund Lehmann alongside Melvin Bragg and Iris Murdoch. The West collection (classmark WEST) can be found alongside the Francis collection in the Anwyl Room.
