dc.descriptionThe Wyndham Lewis and Modernism symposium was a one day event organized by the University of Victoria Libraries as part of The Lion and the Fox exhibition. The exhibition, which ran from April 1-May 28, 2009 at the Mearns Centre for Learning, celebrated C.J. Fox’s donation of the material he collected about Lewis and other non-conformist writers over a 50 year period.
dc.description.abstractC.J. Fox recalls first collecting Wyndham Lewis when the writer-painter's works were often in eclipse. Yet Fox's appetite was only heightened by the sense of pursuing "forbidden" underground fare. With growing mainstream awareness of Lewis, his alluring isolation lessened, and Fox compensated by adding other cultural contrarians to his collection. But his Lewisian addiction persists.en
