Abstract

British poet and novelist, Roy Broadbent Fuller (1912-1991), was born in Failsworth, Lancashire, but moved with him family to Blackpool after his father died. Admitted as a solicitor in 1934, he married Kathleen Smith in 1936. With their young son and only child, John Fuller, the couple moved to London just before the outbreak of World War II. There, Roy Fuller joined the Woolwich Equitable Building Society, a home-mortgage company, with whom he remained until his retirement in 1987. Fuller only left the Woolwich for military duty during World War II, from 1941-1946, when he served as a Lieutenant with the Royal Navy, first as a radar mechanic in Kenya, then as a radio and radar officer at the Admiralty. As one of the most significant of the World War II English poets, Fuller spoke in a more studied manner, and with the voice of the home-front denizen, rather than that of the fighting man. He was identified with The Movement, a postwar group of British poets generally dedicated to robust and ironic poems, forthright in tone and often intricate in versification. Other poets in The Movement included Philip Larkin, Donald Davie, D.J. Enright, Elizabeth Jennings, and Thom Gunn. Roy Fuller died in Blackheath, London 27 September 1991. This collection consists chiefly of correspondence between Roy Fuller and Julian Symons, representing a relationship which started on terms of business and grew to a close friendship. The correspondents are primarily Roy Fuller and Julian Symons with occasional addendums from Kate Fuller to Roy Fuller's letters. Also present are letters from John Fuller to the Symons'; letters and post cards from Roy Fuller to Jack Clark, many regarding the Poem-of-the-Month Club; and Roy Fuller to Sebastian Barker. Most of the letters from John Fuller and one from Kate Fuller were written after Roy Fuller's death. Other items include poems, obituaries, newspaper clippings, and pamphlets pertaining to Roy Fuller's life and/or subjects exchanged between Fuller and Clark.

Born Mary Ann Evans in 1819, George Eliot was the daughter of a land agent who managed estates in the rural midlands, a formative experience that gave her an insight into country society that later greatly influenced and enriched her first works of fiction. At different times of her life, she also spelled her name as Mary Anne, Marian, and Marianne, adopting the pen-name of Eliot only after her first work of fiction was published in 1857.
