Description
- Abstract:
- This introduction to the life of Hubert Dudley Jennings (1896-1991), one of the first biographers of Fernando Pessoa, includes his early years in England, his experiences in World War I, and his teaching at Durban High School, the same school where Pessoa had studied while in South Africa. This sketch relies in part on A Cracked Record, a memoir consisting of four notebooks penned when Jennings was in his nineties – 697 handwritten pages, revealing a writerly and romantic imagination. A fragmentary fifth instalment of this memoir – a 21-page typescript – is discussed elsewhere in this issue of Pessoa Plural.

Este esboço baseia-se em parte em A Cracked Record, um memorial escrito em quatro cadernos por Jennings aos seus noventa anos–697 páginas manuscritas, revelando uma imaginação romântica e literária. Um quinto volume fragmentário dessas memórias–um datiloscrito de 21 páginas–é apresentado alhures neste número da Pessoa Plural.
