Biographical History

Dr Jonas Lesser (1895-1968) was an Austrian-British editor and author. The offspring of a Jewish-orthodox family had left Austria for England after German occupation in 1938. The prolific writer was an expert on Thomas Mann and published widely on this issue.

Scope and Content

Comprising handwritten and typewritten letters the correspondence centres on numerous articles and reviews Lesser authored mainly for The Wiener Library’s Bulletin, but also for other magazines. This includes among others a piece about the Library for The Contemporary Review (1959) as well as a Bulletin article about Club 43, a loose association of left and liberal (Jewish-)German exiles in London (1963).
