		Rebecca West was the pen name of Cicely Isabel Fairfield (the spelling Cicily was later adopted), the youngest daughter of Charles Fairfield, an Anglo-Irish journalist, and a Scotswoman, Isabella Cambell Mackenzie, who had married while in Australia.
		West struggled to write the less well-received novel The Judge (1922), in which the early exuberance of the suffragette heroine is supplanted by the claustrophobia of possessive family love.
		In 1959 West was made a Dame of the British Empire (she had been made a CBE in 1949), to which she responded: “I never sought to be a teacher’s pet and Bloomsbury loathed me”.

	Rebecca West & the tragedy of Yugoslavia by Richard Tillinghast
		West being the great reporter that she was, her account of the conspirators and of the events leading up to the assassination is expertly crafted, but not so dominated by facts as to exclude a surrealistic touch.
		West, who was psychoanalyzed in the 1920s, was a Freudian to the extent that her natively aristocratic nature could allow it, and this book consistently champions Eros in its battle against Thanatos: “The soul should choose life,” she asserts.
		Rebecca West was perhaps better informed about the Nazis than her contemporaries: her husband, who was part Jewish and had lived in Germany as a child, had business interests that took him often to Germany and Central Europe.

	Rebecca West's Brilliant Mosaic of Yugoslavian Travel
		Rebecca West's "Journey Through Yugoslavia" is carried out with tireless percipience, nourished from almost bewildering erudition, chronicled with a thoughtfulness itself fervent and poetic; and it explores the many-faceted being of Yugoslavia -- its cities and villages, its history and ancient custom, its people and its soul, its meaning in our world.
		With thousands of pieces, so, Rebecca West has made her mosaic, each scene or event or character or re-creation of history a vivid whole, fitted with an art that seems almost casual into its place in the larger entity.
		In the alchemy of Rebecca West's literary art those words are transmuted, to become elements of vital substance, enlightenment, and the stimulus of provocative and echoing thought; and this is the case whether they are concerned with Yugoslavia itself, with the terrible world we live in, or with the question and decisive mind.

		West did not attach her name to the lists of Communist Front organizations and members that agitated on behalf of the Spanish republic, but she included herself in a pamphlet filled with writers’ statements backing the republic.
		West was not surrendering her freedom to criticize Hoover and government institutions, but she was recognizing his rightful role in upholding the law.

		The Croats she met were proud of their links with the West, links that in West’s mind (and especially as German expansionism comes back to terrible life) should have been their greatest shame.

		West wrote on the brink of World War II, when she was "already convinced of the inevitability of the second Anglo-German war." The resulting book is colored by that impending conflict, and by West's search for universals amid the complex particulars of Balkan history.
		West devotes particular attention to the assassination of the Archduke Ferdinand in Sarajevo in June 1914, which precipitated World War I, an event that at the time of the writing of the book was still relatively recent in the world's memory, and the facts of which were still somewhat controversial.
		West got away with a writing style full of ethnic generalizations that, today, would likely be attacked, by airheads anyway, as politically incorrect, regardless of the many hard truths she wrote.

		During the course of three tours in 1936, 1937, and 1938, Rebecca West took dozens of photographs of the landscape and especially of the diverse peoples of Yugoslavia, the nation whose independence she would become a fierce international lobbyist for in the face of Fascist Italy's and National Socialist Germany's designs on it.
		This paper, which will be illustrated by overhead projection or powerpoint, will examine West's Yugoslavia Photo Albums, including her captions that identify and describe the photos, and in some cases the notations she made on the back of the photos.
		Rebecca West was an amateur photographer of high caliber, and in these photo albums are captured the diverse faces of a nation she hoped would not be lost, but in April 1941 when National Socialist Germany invaded, was.

	NYRB: Rebecca West
		Rebecca West (1892-1983) was born Cicily Isabel Fairfield, the youngest of three daughters of Charles Fairfield, a journalist in London, and Isabel Mackenzie, a talented pianist who supported her family by giving music lessons.
		Fairfield was a brilliant storyteller who entertained his daughters with tales of wild adventures in America and Australia, but he was moody and unreliable, and in 1901 he left his wife and children to go to Sierra Leone, where he hoped to start a pharmaceutical plant.
		Soon, however, she abandoned her theatrical ambitions and joined the staff of the feminist journal The Freewoman, for which she began to write regularly under the name of Rebecca West (adopted after playing that character in a performance of Ibsen's Rosmersholm).

		West wrote over 400 pages, but never completed the work, partly due to declining health, and partly due to the imaginative scope of the project.
		The chunks of manuscript in the Rebecca West archive at the University of Tulsa tell stories and describe scenes vastly far from each other in geography, historical time, and status as public records.
