The Rougemont Press (1970-1974) of Exeter, England was founded and directed by Eric Cleave, Ted Hughes, Moelwyn Merchant, and Paul Merchant to print limited edition works by eminent poets and illustrations by both established and young artists. Rougemont Press issued works by Ted Hughes, Sylvia Plath, Norman MacCaig, Dorothy Pound, John Stallworthy, Eleni Vakalo, and Ian Hamilton Finlay.
This collection of Rougemont Press ephemera was assembled by co-director of the press, Paul Merchant, and includes some of Merchant's correspondence with authors and artists regarding Rougemont publications.
