Arnold Haskell on Bullfighting

Three articles on the corrida (Spanish bullfighting) by the ballet-critic Arnold Haskell: ‘The Corrida as Spectacle,’ New English Weekly, vol. 1, no. 24 (29 September 1932), pp. 565–6; ‘The Corrida and the Humanitarian, ibid., no. 25 (6 October 1932), pp. 590–1; and ‘The Literature of the Corrida,’ ibid., vol. 2, no. 7 (1 December 1932), pp. 155–6. The latter reviews Ernest Hemingway’s ‘Death in the Afternoon’ and Roy Campbell’s ‘Taurine Provence.’ I am reproducing them because they are interesting and not otherwise available online. If you own the copyright and want them taken down, let me know.
