File 12 - Bound Volume

A bound volume of letters to Fr. Henry Rope mainly from Andrew Hilliard Atteridge (1852-1941), 3 Killowen Villas, Isleworth, Middlesex, and from Fr. Joseph Keating SJ, (editor of ‘The Month’), 31 Farm Street, Berkeley Square, London. The volume is annotated on spine ‘Letters to Father H.E.G. Rope / V’. The file also includes a solitary letter from Mary Faherty (Kilronan, Aran Islands, County Galway). Faherty refers to the ‘Man of Aran’ film (1934) and suggests that it ‘didn’t do us any justice anyway, it is not the real Aran life that this generation saw’. (13 Jan. 1935). The Keating letters primarily refer to literary matters while the Atteridge letters mainly relate to publishing and contemporary political developments in Britain, Ireland and elsewhere.
