Abstract:
Peter Owen publishing records is the publisher’s archive (1950s-1995) of an independent British firm renowned for its international list of major authors and avant garde works. The bulk of the collection consists of the production files of selected works, primarily from the 1980s and 1990s, including edited typescripts, proofs, and other materials documenting the process of turning an author’s manuscript into a finished book.

British publisher Peter Owen was born in Nuremberg, Germany, in 1927, to a Jewish father and an English mother. He went to England in 1933 in order to live with his grandparents and was soon joined by his parents as Hitler came to power. In England, his father ran the Vision Press, which is now defunct. Owen served in the Royal Air Force for six months.

After an apprenticehip at the Bodley Head press and additional experience with small publishers, Peter Owen established his own small press in 1951 at the age of twenty-four. He worked out of his home and his first editor was Muriel Spark. The first major book published by Peter Owen was an English translation of Herman Hesse’s novel

Siddhartha (1954), which began his firm's tradition of publishing important international authors in translation. Since then, Owen’s independent press has published seven Nobel Prize winners as well as numerous notable authors, including Paul Bowles, Ezra Pound, Blaise Cendrars, Jean Cocteau, Rabindranath Tagore, and Peter Vansittart. Peter Owen Ltd. (later named Peter Owen Publishers) specializes in translations of international literature, biographies, and avant garde works, particularly works by gay writers.

Peter Owen also personally compiled an anthology commemorating his fortieth anniversary,

The Peter Owen anthology : forty years of independent publishing, and edited several other works about the publishing industry, including Publishing now and Publishing, the future. He celebrated his eightieth birthday in 2007 and his press, which has remained independent since its inception, continues to publish.

Peter Owen publishing records is the publisher’s archive (1950s-1995) of an independent British firm renowned for its international list of major authors and avant garde works. The bulk of the collection consists of the production files of selected works, primarily from the 1980s and 1990s, including edited typescripts, proofs, and other materials documenting the process of turning an author’s manuscript into a finished book.

The collection also contains correspondence between Peter Owen, his editors, authors, and related businesses and individuals. Many of the correspondence files contain both original letters from authors and others as well as carbon copies of Peter Owen’s outgoing letters. Overall, the collection documents the editorial process undergone by the works published by Peter Owen, the authors’ thoughts regarding their works, the editorial decisions made by Peter Owen and his editors, the financial and legal considerations involved in running a press, and the role Peter Owen played in the post-war European artistic and intellectual scene.

Many of the notable authors published by Peter Owen are represented in this collection with correspondence related to the editing of their works as well as records of the changes made to works between manuscript and final printed book. In addition, because Peter Owen Ltd. is a small, independent, firm, some of the correspondence with authors is of a fairly personal nature.

The collection is arranged in five series: I. Production files; II. Incomplete projects; III. Peter Owen’s projects; IV. Business correspondence; and V. Additional correspondence and agreements.

Series I. Production files, contains edited typescripts and several stages of proofs for works of fiction and non-fiction published by Peter Owen from 1956 to 1994. These materials document the editorial stages involved in the publication of a book as well as the changes in printing and typesetting technology over these decades. The series also contains correspondence and other editorial materials related to the authors represented.

Series I. contains full versions of works in various editorial stages by 56 authors writing in English and 35 international authors in translation. Of the authors writing in English, those represented by multiple works are Paul Bowles (who also served as a translator for Rodrigo Rey Rosa and was the subject of an anthology compiled by Peter Owen editor Gary Pulsifer), Evelyn Farr, H.B. Gibson, Gloria Hargreaves, John Haylock, David Herbert, Fiona Pitt-Kethley, Jeremy Reed, Elisabeth Russell Taylor, Anne Valery, Peter Vansittart, and Noel Virtue. Of the translated authors, those represented by multiple works are Shusaku Endo, Knut Faldbakken, Wolfgang Georog Fischer, Yasushi Inoue, Christer Kilman, Dacia Maraini, Marga Minco, Oscar Parland, Joseph Roth, Marquis de Sade, and Vesaas Tarjei. The series also contains anthologies compiled by seven editors and smaller editorial and/or correspondence files for the works of fifteen additional authors. Of the nearly fifty translators represented in this series, some such as Joan Tate, Margaret Crosland, David Le Vay, Nina Rootes, and Norman Glass have translated the works of multiple authors for the firm.

One concentration of this publishing firm is biography. Some notable autobiographies and memoirs in this archival collection were written by Oliver Bernard, Moura Lympany, Edith Piaf, and Mary Robinson. In addition, authors and artists such as Jean Cocteau, Anne Cumming, Stewart Home, and Jeremy Reed represent the firm’s concentration in avant garde, erotic, and lesbian/gay/bisexual/transgender (LGBT) works.

Series II. Incomplete projects, contains materials related to works that were not ultimately published by Peter Owen. This series contains manuscripts and sample chapters of some works Peter Owen chose not to publish as well as correspondence files documenting legal and/or copyright issues that prevented publication of other works.

Series III. Peter Owen’s projects, contains materials related to projects Peter Owen was involved in more directly as writer or editor. These projects range from anthologies edited by Owen to short pieces written by Owen for publication in periodicals. This series also contains correspondence related to Peter Owen’s thirtieth and fortieth anniversary celebrations.

Series IV. Business correspondence, contains Peter Owen’s files of correspondence with presses, literary agents, and other businesses. This series documents the legal, copyright, and other issues involved in running an independent press. There is a particularly substantial quantity of correspondence with Howard Moorpark, Peter Owen’s literary agent.

Series V. Additional correspondence and agreements, contains all correspondence and other small items not related to any of the previous series. The individuals represented are authors, translators, literary agents, friends, and other people somehow related to Peter Owen. There is a particularly substantial amount of correspondence from Charles Gustav Bode, Margaret Crosland, Lillian Halegua, David Le Vay, A. E. Murch, Stanley J. Rubinstein, and Lady Vyvyan. This final series demonstrates the breadth of Peter Owen’s involvement in literary and artistic circles.

The material in this collection was acquired by the University of Delaware Special Collections in a series of accessions in the 1990s. Earlier accessions of Peter Owen’s files are included in the Paul Bowles collection and other Peter Owen records are at the University of Texas at Austin.

Scope and Contents

The first series contains materials used in the production of books published by Peter Owen. Most works have an edited typescript and several versions of proofs.

The production materials in this series represent the various stages of the editorial processes. In Peter Owen, Ltd., as well as in the publishing industry in general, an author or translator typically submits a fair copy (unmarked) typescript of a work to the publisher. This typescript is then edited and sent to the printer, who typesets the work. The proofs are sent to the publisher to be edited both by the author or translator and by the publisher’s in-house editor. These corrections are collated, copied onto a single set of proofs, and returned to the printer. Depending upon the number of mistakes, the printer will then produce a number of revisions, either of the entire work or of selected pages, before the final version is printed for sale.

Because the publishing dates of the works represented in this series span several decades, the proofs in the collection are distinguished not only by their position in the above editorial process, but also by the physical form of the proof as determined by the technology in use at the time. Galley proofs, which were used primarily for books published up until the 1970s, are proofs printed on long strips of low-quality paper. The first versions of galley proofs are usually unpaginated and lack preliminary matter. At the same time, the printer would send Peter Owen several specimen pages, demonstrating what the book would look like in regular form. In the earliest projects in this collection, subsequent proofs are paginated but still printed as columns of pages on galley-size paper. Slightly later projects have book proofs, which are paginated proofs bound in paper, in addition to the initial sets of galleys. Works typeset on computers usually do not have galley proofs. All sets of proofs for these works are paginated and printed on loose sheets of paper. However, some projects in this collection do have unpaginated or “galley” proofs printed as two columns of text on non-galley paper. Some works, particularly those with graphics and or illustrations interspersed with the text, also have page layouts (sometimes labeled “double-page spreads” or “flat plan”), for which the design of each page is laid out using blocks of text and illustrations glued onto a larger sheet of paper.

This series also contains correspondence from the authors and other materials related to the production of the works. “Correspondence” includes letters primarily from the author or translator. “Editorial correspondence” includes letters not only from the author but also from other people involved in the project. An “editorial file” is Peter Owen’s production record of a work containing some correspondence as well as smaller editorial items such as style sheets, index typescripts, sample chapters, and visual material. Because many translators worked on several different authors for Peter Owen, some of their correspondence files are included in the fifth series of “Additional Correspondence.”

Material in the “Production Materials” series is alphabetized by original author. Multiple works by one author are alphabetized by title. Compilations are alphabetized by main editor. Typescripts and proofs are marked with corrections unless otherwise noted.
