Abstract
Description
The first journal is labeled "Notes May October 1928 Aberdovey. Austria" and details Ruck's vacation to Vienna and Gneixendorf. During this time, she was writing serial installments for her novel The Unkissed Bride (1929), and the journal contains several notes and drafts for the story, as well as notes of cultural events Ruck experiences in Europe that she wants to work into her novel. The early part of her journal also describes her trip to a flying exhibition, where she observed the pilots' families and wrote an article, "Do Wives Make Good Moth-ers," a clipping of which is pasted in the journal. Ruck's fascination with airplanes reappears throughout her journals. In this journal are also her recollections of meetings with writers Rebecca West, Ezra Pound, and Anita Loos. She also records her Austrian hosts' impressions of the past war and the rising German nationalism. Among the artifacts Ruck collected from her trip are a schedule for the Orient Express, Viennese theatre programs, sheet music for popular French songs, receipts, and clippings, including obituary notices for actress Ellen Terry.
