From: "Lorenzo Bellettini" <[log in to unmask]>
After touring Germany and the UK, the travelling exhibition
"Schnitzler's Hidden Manuscripts", from Cambridge University Library,
comes to London by kind permission of its curator Lorenzo Bellettini
(of Corpus Christi College), and the University of Cambridge.
The Viennese novelist and dramatist Arthur Schnitzler (1862-1931)
exercised a profound influence on his contemporaries. Drawing on the
riches of the collection of his manuscripts held at Cambridge
University Library, the exhibition illuminates his life and work and
explores his correspondence with such figures as Freud, Rilke, Thomas
and Heinrich Mann, Theodor Herzl, Karl Kraus and others. In the
interests of preservation, high-resolution facsimiles are displayed in
place of the fragile originals.
A small selection of related material from the holdings of the Foyle
Special Collections Library accompanies the exhibition.
***
The exhibition "Arthur Schnitzler's Hidden Manuscripts" will open in
London on Tuesday 20 at 6pm with a talk by its curator, Lorenzo
Bellettini (Corpus Christi College, Cambridge) on
"How a Treasure was Saved: Arthur Schnitzler's Manuscripts, the Nazi
Threat and Cambridge University"
The talk will be followed by a wine reception offered by the Department
of German of King's College.
