Description

Abstract:
Documents, photographs, poems, etc, that Jennings evidently took to the Second International Symposium on Pessoa (Vanderbilt University, 1983), as well as a list of delegates to the event with their contact information (provided to Jennings by Alexandrino Severino). Includes two copies of a list of items Jennings intended to include. The list includes many items that are found in the Jennings Papers, but there are some materials in the list that are not known to exist (e.g. "Under the Horizon"). Includes copies of Fernando Pessoa's school reports, a photograph of Durban circa 1895, a copy of a drawing by Almada Negreiros, copies of a number of English poems, a copy of an essay by Pessoa on "O Genio e o Talento na Sociedade," copies of a letter between Pessoa and Adolfo Casais Monteiro, a copy of a telegram to Pessoa from Ofélia de Queiroz, and a copy of a draft of Pessoa's farewell letter to Ofélia. Jennings originally included with this material two rare chapbooks of Fernando Pessoa's English poetry, both published 1918: Antinous and 35 Sonnets. The copy of 35 Sonnets is inscribed and signed by Jennings: "Given to me by Francisco Caetano Dias June 1968." The copy of Antinous is inscribed and signed by Jennings: "Given to me by Francisco Caetano Dias June 1969.
