- Description
Volumes kept by Lovelock recording his running career. Whereas the training diaries were written up each day these volumes were carefully compiled after each race. Later volumes, after 1936, also include reference to his professional and family life. The volumes are meticulously kept with photographs and clippings relating to his races. From 1931, after he arrived at Oxford University he included a full description and discussion of each race, based on the briefer notes recorded in his training diaries. These journal commentaries cease, however, at the end of 1935 (although descriptions of his 1936 races continue in his training diaries).
Quantity: 25 volume(s).
