Scope and Contents
The addition includes personal correspondence, and many drafts of published and unpublished works. Included are correspondence between Mayo and the publishing house Routledge & Kegan Paul Ltd, documenting the publication process of Mayo’s critical anthology on Samuel Richardson, and correspondence between Mayo and other publishing houses, graduate students, and friends. The scholarly papers include an early draft of chapter five of Mayo’s published book The English Novel in the Magazines, 1740-1815, an unpublished paper on Northanger Abbey, and different drafts of a book he abandoned in the fall of 1969, Jane Austen the Tory Artist. Also included are research notes for these books and papers.
In addition, two inches of material were interfiled with the existing series, adding to correspondence regarding The Analyst, course descriptions, Mayo’s notices of salary and promotion, and general University correspondence. Further, folder five of box seven’s label was corrected to read “Jane Austen the Tory Artist – Draft Chapters 1, 2, 6,” and some of the previously processed correspondence between Mayo and Routledge was interfiled with the new Routledge folder in this addition.
