FROM THE COLLECTION OF PROFESSOR Dr MAX NÄNNY, ZURICH
Max Nänny (1932-2006) was Emeritus Professor of English at the University of Zurich where he acquired an international reputation for his studies in a number of areas of modern English Literature. Over a period of more than forty years he collected a range of first editions of the principal Modernist authors. His close friend from the previous generation of teachers, Professor Dr Max Wildi (1904-1982), was Professor for English Language and Literature at the Eidgenvssische Technische Hochschule Zurich. Max Wildi contributed a number of items to Max Nänny's collection, some of which had been given to him by the authors themselves.
