      <div type="chapter" label="Victor Alexander was secretary to the XII Book Club from 1931 to 1940. It is inferred from this that he was the author of this set of minutes.">
        <p>
          <ptr target="ukred-30187">"Meeting held at 219 King’s Road: 27.5.38&lt;br/&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;L. Dorothea Taylor in the chair.&lt;br/&gt;
1. Minutes of last read + approved&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
2. A brief introduction to the brothers [sic] Zweig and their work was given by R. H. Robson. 
Owing to a confusion of dates and names in one of the sources from which he derived his 
informations, the brothers were made to indulge in some unrehearsed interchanges of thought 
and interest, which both mystified and entertained the Club, and combined the authors in our 
minds inextricably as a pair of intellectually-Siamese twins.
&lt;br/&gt;
3. F. E. Pollard gave the first reading from Stepan [sic] Zweig’s “The Right to Heresy”. It was 
keen incisive stuff read with a gusto that would have delighted Bernard Shaw.
&lt;br/&gt;
4. Elizabeth Alexander followed with some pleasant descriptive paragraphs of Palestine, Jewish 
and Arabic, from the somewhat unpleasant “De Vriendt Goes Home” of Arnold Zweig.
&lt;br/&gt;
5. Janet Rawlings read some extracts from Stepan Zweig’s “Sternstunden der Menscheit [sic]”, a 
telling story of the wealth and poverty of a scoundrel [John Sutter] at the time of the rise of San 
Francisco; and we beg respectfully to congratulate her on the translation.
&lt;br/&gt;
6. Roger Moore’s reading from Stepan Zweig’s “Adepts in Self Portraiture” was greatly enhanced 
by the notes and comments he added to it, and particularly in the case of Tolstoi, and this paper 
led to some enlightening discussion.
&lt;br/&gt;
7. Elsie Sikes read a description of an encounter between a lynx and an escaped prisoner from 
“The Case of Sergeant Grischa” by Arnold Zweig. [...]
&lt;br/&gt;
8. Mary Robson’s reading from Stepan Zweig’s “Mary Queen of Scots” brought the historians into 
the fray for and against, but Stepan was unhappily absent to tell us of his sources.
&lt;br/&gt;
9. Reginald Robson closed the programme with some scenes from Stepan Zweig’s “Marie 
Antoinette.”"</ptr>
