Watson, George Grimes (1927-2013) literary critic

Miscellaneous papers, formerly the property of or relating to Samuel Butler

Correspondence, manuscripts, typescripts and personal effects, of and relating to Samuel Butler and his literary executors (R.A. Streatfeild, Henry Festing Jones, A.T. Bartholomew, Brian Hill and Geoffrey Keynes). Manuscripts and typescripts of works by and about Samuel Butler. Offprints of articles about Samuel Butler. Press cuttings and reviews of works by and about Samuel Butler. Exhibition catalogues and sale lists relating to Samuel Butler's works and possessions. Material collected during the 2011-13 Samuel Butler Project at St John's College.

'Prominent persons' correspondence

George Watson described the correspondents in (or, on occasion, subjects of) this sequence as 'prominent persons'. It should be noted that correspondence from a number of these figures appears in other series of the Watson papers: in the case of the subject-specific series the reasoning is obvious, but it is less so in the case of the 'ex libris' items. Watson's separation has been maintained, and his alphabetical sequencing tidied. Items will ultimately be catalogued individually; for now, a list of correspondents/subjects follows. The preface '///' indicates that the file in question does not contain correspondence between George Watson and the named person. Other correspondents included in individual files are listed in parentheses.
