Philip Hobsbaum Collection of Correspondence and Manuscripts of The Group, ca. 1955-1968.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122492214

The collection contains primarily letters received by Philip Hobsbaum, between 1955 and 1966. The bulk of the letters are from other founder-members of The Group, namely Martin Bell, Alan Brownjohn, George MacBeth, Edward Lucie-Smith, Peter Porter, and Peter Redgrove. These letters focus predominantly on members' poetry and professional careers, the affairs of The Group, as well as specific, often line-by-line criticism of each other's work. Also included in the papers are some typescripts and handwritten manuscripts of poems by Lucie-Smith, Bell, Holbrook, and Redgrove. A "Group Address List" logs nearly ninety members and advisors to The Group.
