| description | This tribute to the life of Pessoan scholar Hubert Jennings was written by Bridget Winstanley and Christopher Jennings, the daughter and son of Hubert and Irene Jennings. Bridget and Christopher wrote down their memories of a Hubert known only to them; Bridget edited the two texts into a single and somewhat chronological memoir about their father. The resulting text starts with an introduction in the first-person plural by both authors, then switches to the first-person singular – the voice of Bridget, which oftentimes quotes the memories of her brother Christopher, while presenting anecdotes of Hubert's life across various topics: First World War, love of nature, Hubert as a schoolmaster, religion, encounter with Pessoa, life in England, and Hubert's own memoir handwritten when he was already ninety years old. |
