London. Printed for His Majesty's Stationery Office by Darling & Son 1902. iv 134pp. Folio. Later red half-calf tooled in gilt and blind red cloth boards contrasting black morocco lettering-pieces. Two reports concerning the governance and conditions of South African concentration camps established during the Second Anglo-Boer War 1899-1902. The British confined Boer families and black Africans to the camps in an effort to force the surrender of the Boer guerillas. Conditions were dire. Sustenance was scarce and medical treatment almost non-existent. Disease ran rampant resulting in the death of over 28000 Boer women and children and 12000 black Africans. The strategy proved ineffectual and attracted heated criticism from the British press. Control of the camps was wrestled from the military and conditions were somewhat improved not insignificantly due to the tireless campaigning of activist Emily Hobhouse 1860-1926 who both brought the matter to the public more generally as well as organising relief efforts to those unfortunate to be incarcerated. .

18459Various publishers and places. 1926 - 1982. Sydney Clouts' 1926-82 small body of poetry he published just one volume One Life 1966 during his lifetime belies a larger presence in the history of South African poetry in English during the second half of the twentieth century. Born in Cape Town in 1926 Clouts married Marjorie better known as Marge Leftwich in 1952. Although the couple never made public statements about their move to England in 1961 its timing following the 1960 referendum result that led to the constitution of the South African Republic and the entrenchment of apartheid policies was clearly no coincidence. Like his English near-contemporary Philip Larkin Clouts became a librarian a job he held until his death in 1982. Voluntary exile the use of a language English bound up with colonial history and its legacies not to speak of the poet's Jewishness anti-Semitism was rife in both his country of origin and exile all may have contributed to Clouts' near-silence as a poet following the move though this generous collection of books and papers drawn from Sydney and Marge's library demonstrates their continued involvement with and support for a South African literary community native and in exile while providing a context for Clouts' own small exquisitely formed output. J. M. Coetzee no less has described Clouts as "the purest poetic talent" of his generation writing of his "drive toward transcendence and concentration on the thisness things" and comparing the poet to both Gerard Manley Hopkins and Patrick White "another suburban visionary". If the poems' treatment of colonial racial and linguistic issues is typically oblique their deft control of sound and image offers a personal and quietly radical response to painful events that the poet clearly felt helpless to influence. Robert Frost's description of poetry as a "momentary stay against confusion" is a clue here as are the phenomenological meditations of Wallace Stevens or indeed the seventeenth-century English poet Thomas Traherne invoked in the first poem of One Life whose mystical and lyrical ecstasies are pared and distilled to the feel of a pebble warm in the palm of a hand. Along with the poet's own works this substantial collection of 154 items represents many poets Hope Wright Delius Driver who like Clouts moved to England as well as those who remained in Africa. There's a rich seam of work by black poets Mapanji Mtshali Rive Sepalma Serote as well as Clouts' Jewish peers Abrahams Becker Miller and others not to speak of the poet's personal copies of significant forebears such as Roy Campbell and William Plomer and his friend and contemporary Guy Butler. The many inscriptions dedications and recollections to be found across the collection attest to the widespread affection for the Clouts' as patrons and friends to the cause of South African literature. "My tradition is dew on a shrub / One word too many; many too few." from "Residuum" Collected Poems.
