Hyde, H. Montgomery (Harford Montgomery), 1907-1989. H. Montgomery Hyde Collection, 1897-1971.

Title: H. Montgomery Hyde Collection, 1897-1971.

The social and legal issues raised during the trials of Roger Casement and Oscar Wilde form the nucleus of Hyde's research, literary output, and advocacy, culminating in 1967 with the adoption of the recommendations of the Wolfenden Committee and the eventual rise of the modern gay rights movement in England. Hyde's correspondence pertains primarily to his research for, and the publication of two works, Trial of Sir Roger Casement and A History of Pornography. While the majority of the correspondence in the collection focuses on the editorial and publishing process, several letters seek additional detailed information about Casement and efforts to return Casement's remains to Ireland. Series II pertains to Hyde's work on Roger Casement, an Irishman who worked for the British Consulate Service and was hung after being convicted of treason in 1916. A draft of the Trial of Sir Roger Casement is incomplete, however numerous articles and research notes are present, a typed transcript of Casement's 1910 diary, and a draft of the text of Casement's trial. Also found here are reproductions of Casement's legal papers and poetry. Series III contains material for A History of Pornography (1964) including an annotated and corrected typescript. A 1974 note on the title page suggests that this is the only remaining typescript. Also present are two attorney reports and correspondence (including Hyde's responses) discussing the legal ramifications of certain possibly obscene passages in the book. The Oscar Wilde series contains page proofs of The Trials of Oscar Wilde as well as draft front and end matter. Also present are a few essays about Wilde written by Hyde at different times. A number of legal documents concern a disagreement between Warwick Film Productions, Hyde, 20th Century Fox, and others. The bulk of material in this series is correspondence generated by Hyde while researching Wilde. Series V is made up materials collected by Hyde while researching his book Henry James at Home and correspondence generated by its publication. Of particular note is the correspondence between Hyde, Leon Edel, John Cullen, J. Alan White, and the members of the Waterlow family regarding certain accusations of plagiarism lodged by Edel against Hyde. A number of photocopies of James' letters are present which may not be reproduced without the permission of the owning libraries.
