Laura (Riding) Jackson

This website replaces the Nottingham Trent University, UK
Because of the change of internet service at NTU in 2019, the website was dropped and became unmanageable, so that, still based on that website, this one is entirely independent. It is financially sourced by the following, with thanks to all concerned:
Jack Blackmore
Elizabeth Friedmann
Joan Wilentz
Alan Clark
John Nolan
We will now be much more flexible in presenting material pertaining to Laura (Riding) Jackson, for example, by providing outside readers and authors room to comment, add to the website, suggest further improvements, take part in critical debate, bring historical and literary fact to our attention.
Dr. Mark Jacobs is the administrator and designer for this website. He was a teacher, a Nottingham Trent University Fellow in the English Department and founder there of the Laura (Riding) Jackson Archive of letters, books, and various materials. He has been studying Laura Jackson's poetry and prose and publishing essays and articles on her work for sixty years. She is, he holds, a better poet than Yeats, Eliot, Pound, Auden and the others - more intellectual, more lyrical, more grounded.
You can contact him either through the website or directly at:

Good morning,
I am a Spanish journalist and writer. I am conducting research on Laura Riding and would be very interested in purchasing the two volumes of “The Person I Am.” I do not use PayPal. Would it be possible to make a bank transfer and have them sent to Spain? Are they available in electronic format?
Thank you,
Andrea.
Hello. I am very sorry not to have replied to you sooner! Christmas has intervened, then New Year, then a million other things. I have only just spotted your request this morning. Unfortunately I am busy elsewhere at this precise time, so that, if you allow, I’ll send you a proper response later today. And, yes, I have a PDF copy I can send you online on one of my disks. I will dig it up.
Thanks for your interest and apologies again. I look forward to hearing from you.
Mark Jacobs
