(The commentary on Henry Moore's Library discusses books owned and used by Moore throughout his career. It also contains a section Henry Moore, Writers and Literature which is a bibliographical survey prompted by his statement that novelists had an enormous influence on his point of view in life and therefore on his sculpture as well. It summarises possible relationships between Moore's art and the writings of Thomas Hardy, D.H. Lawrence, Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, William Wordsworth, Shakespeare, Dante, Goethe, Pound, and Lawrence Binyon. Discusses Moore's personal contacts with T.S. Eliot, W.H.
