Biographical history

George Grimes Watson was born in Brisbane, Australia, on 13 October 1927. He was educated at Brisbane Boys' College and the University of Queensland, where he graduated in 1948 with a degree in English. He secured a scholarship for a second degree and received an English degree from Trinity College, Oxford in 1950; he worked for the European Commission as an interpreter before becoming a lecturer in English at Cambridge in 1959 and a Fellow of St John's College in 1961. He remained at St John's until his death on 2 August 2013.

Watson edited 'The New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature'. As well as producing wide-ranging literary and cultural criticism, he was involved in leftist politics, campaigning as a Liberal candidate in 1959 and 1979 and working as Editor for the Unservile State Group; his political writing often critiques socialism from a liberal perspective.

Scope and content

This series arranges offprints, copies and cuttings of articles by writers other than Watson, many of them inscribed to him. Note that when an offprint was accompanied by a letter, it is not to be found here but in one of the correspondence-based series; further cuttings and copies by other writers can be found in Watson/5/30. Items will ultimately be catalogued individually; for now, a list follows.
