General notebooks, c.1965-c.1975

 
Component identifier:
Subseries 1.2
Content Summary:
15 notebooks, employed over a period of more than twenty years, but mostly dating from post 1968 when Porter left advertising and went freelance. It was Porter's custom, up until after 1975, to write all his reviews, programmes, and like pieces of journalism in longhand and only subsequently type them for editors. The books include therefore the majority of the 120 radio and 100 plus poetry reviews he wrote for journals such as the New Statesman, Guardian, London Magazine and Observer until about 1975. Many other radio programmes and miscellaneous pieces are included, as also are lists, memoranda and copious pieces of miscellaneous writing. The pieces listed below only such special pieces singled out by Porter in his consignment list as worth noting.
