Scope and Content

Correspondence with English poet and founder of the Ferry Press, Andrew Crozier, relating to: his reservations about the content and approach of Carcanet's British poetry since 1960: a critical survey (ed. Michael Schmidt and Grevel Lindop, 1972); Carcanet's publications of work by HD; plans for Carcanet to publish a collected edition of work by Imagist poet F.S. Flint, to be edited by Crozier; Ferry Press and work by J.H. Prynne published by the Press; Peter Ackroyd's review policy at the Spectator and the magazine's failure to publish reviews of Carcanet books; and a review by Crozier of HD's Trilogy (Carcanet, 1974), which ultimately appeared in the Spectator.

/8, /15, /17 and /19 contain correspondence and copy correspondence with Ianthe Price, daughter of F.S. Flint, relating to permission to use unpublished Flint manuscripts held at the University of Texas.
