Mary Butts on
the internet
The Beinecke library at Yale University houses a great deal
of Mary Butts' manuscripts, including journals, letters,
fiction and reviews. A description of the papers can be
viewed here. This Aleister Crowley website includes some
biographical information, but overlooks the fact that
Butts soon rejected black magic after her experiences
with Crowley (see Blondel, Scenes from the
Life, p106). Find Articles has an interesting essay by
Jennifer Kroll exploring thematic links between Mary
Butts and T.S. Eliot, and another by Roslyn Reso Foy, author of
Ritual Myth and Mysticism in the Work of Mary
Butts. The Austin Chronicle
has a witty
review of Scenes from the
Life with a colourful overview of
Butts' life and literary tendencies.
