Collection 1985-001

  

Dates:  1954-1985.

Extent:  (5 boxes).

Level of Description:  Item level.

Name of creator(S):  David Emery Gascoyne.

Date of creation:  Undetermined.

Scope and Content:   The papers are arranged into three series: Series 1: Correspondence; Series 2: Writings; and Series 3: Miscellaneous.

Series 1: Correspondence consists of letters between friends, colleagues, publishers, educational institutions and broadcast services, and is arranged alphabetically. Following the alphabetical sequence of correspondence are groups of letters, labeled by Gascoyne as “British painter friends,” “British poet contemporaries,” and “Literary friends and acquaintances;” these letters are signed with first name only and have been left in their original order until they can be accurately identified. The correspondence dates from 1954 through 1985.

Series 2: Writings consist of autograph and typescript drafts of articles, essays, poetry, radio scripts, and French/English translations of works by other authors. Also included in this series are 15 notebooks containing drafts of many of the same types of writings, as well as a scrapbook filled with press cuttings of appearances of Gascoyne’s articles and reviews of his work by others. The writings are arranged alphabetically by title and are followed by the notebooks. A brief inventory of the contents of each notebook is included in the inventory.

Series 3: Miscellaneous includes a check-list of works by and about Gascoyne in the Portsmouth Polytechnic Library; notices for Gascoyne’s poetry readings; Gascoyne’s U. S. A. itinerary, Mar 8-18, 1981; and brochure for Totleigh Barton courses at the Arvon Foundation in Devon.
