Diaries

Here you can access two separate diaries kept by Robert at different stages of his life. The first period covers 1935-1939; from Robert's last year in Mallorca before leaving at the onset of the Spanish Civil War until he parts ways with Laura Riding. The second period 1956-1966, although covering a much longer period of time, is less detailed and consistent.
