Inventory of the Papers of Robin Skelton
in the University of Victoria Archives

Compiled by Anne Maclean
for the University of Victoria Archives
January, 1990

Preface

The University of Victoria Archives is responsible for the University's official and unofficial records, as well as the personal papers of faculty and staff. The mandate for the Archives provides that all records be arranged and described in such a manner that material can be retrieved down to the file level. Inventories are produced for most documentary accessions of official records as a matter of course and indexes are produced for photographs, audio tapes and other media. Inventories to large accumulations of personal papers like those of Robin Skelton usually require special funding from an outside source like the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada and the efforts of a project Archivist like Anne Maclean, who has worked so diligently on this finding aid.

Prior to Anne's work on these papers, very little existed to provide retrieval to the Skelton papers aside from box lists compiled by Diana Hayes and Patrick Regan who worked as summer students for the Archives. Diana sorted through the earliest accessions and Patrick arranged and described up to the 1971 accessions and prepared a first lines index of publications up to the early 1980's. What awaited Anne's arrival was approximately 35 metres of records, about half of which were arranged and described except for a huge backlog of unidentified poetry worksheets. For the later accessions all that existed were very rough box lists produced at the time of acquisition.

In keeping with modern archival theory it was decided to leave the arrangement of the papers as much as possible in original accession order so as to reflect the way in which Robin had accumulated, used and reused his material. However, for ease of access, the inventory is organized into series descriptions, each one including file entries from the many accessions. The fact that the same work can appear in many different accessions testifies to the way in which Skelton reuses and reshapes his material over time. The accession order thus does not always represent a chronological order of development. The researcher who is interested in such a chronology will have to await the publication of a much needed Skelton bibliography. However, the inventory endeavours to get around the problem of the duplicated names and titles with indexes which cross reference related material in different accessions. As further material arrives in the archives entries will be added to the series descriptions and the indexes recompiled to include the new material.

The Skelton papers testify to Robin Skelton's enormously energetic approach to all aspects of his creative life. In fact, his friend Geoffrey Keynes characterized him as "the dynamo". Since 1972, when the University Archives was first established, Robin has always kept the Archives staff busy. His personal papers testify not only to the fact that Robin is prolific (and his published work takes up only a part of his archive). Perhaps because of his experience working with literary papers, arranging and describing the Rupert Brooke papers and later editing the works of Wilfred Rowland Childe and J. M. Synge, Skelton was aware of the importance of literary archives to the interpretation of a writer's life and work. He thus supported the University of Victoria in its efforts to build a collection of modern literary manuscripts and has made it part of his mission as a writer to make sure all his papers, even the doodles, are transferred to the Archives for preservation. As Anne testifies in her Introduction, he has also assisted us in many aspects of this project.

Like his Memoirs of a Literary Blockhead, Skelton's papers reflect the enormous breadth and bustle of his life, and the many people he has known, worked with and helped. This finding aid also reflects Anne Maclean's energy, enthusiasm and thoroughness in capturing so much of what would otherwise have been impossible to find.

Introduction

The Inventory of the Papers of Robin Skelton has been produced by the University of Victoria Archives through funding received from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. Work on the project began in February, 1989. Virtually all of Skelton's personal records are housed at the University of Victoria, and this inventory provides descriptions of these records.

The records have been described in accordance with the rules for description outlined by Stephen Hensen in Archives, personal papers and manuscripts: a cataloguing manual for archival repositories, historical societies, and manuscript libraries (Washington: Library of Congress, 1983). Wherever possible, the Skelton records have been described at the file level, except for certain types of media such as audio and video tapes where such description is not applicable.

The Inventory has been compiled on a personal computer at the University of Victoria Archives, using WORD PERFECT software which can be easily updated and which has allowed the production of two indexes. The first, beginning on page 112, consists of titles of works by Robin Skelton. Untitled drafts of poems are identified by first line. The second index, beginning on page 125, is an index of names and subject headings; these include names of people who have corresponded with Skelton or are referred to in the Inventory. Throughout the Inventory, the initials "R.S." are used to designate Skelton's name; other people are referred to first by their full names and subsequently by their surnames.

The earliest Robin Skelton accession was acquired in 1968, and the latest in 1989. The material totals about 35 metres in extent. Some work had been done on arranging parts of the material before this project began, but due to lack of full-time staff it was not possible to maintain this work consistently before funding was received for this project. Some accessions had been fairly extensively arranged while others were not arranged at all. This Inventory incorporates the information which existed in the earlier box lists and lists of correspondents, and the compiler is grateful for all the work that was previously done by other Archives staff.

Because many drafts of the same work are scattered throughout various accessions, the Inventory is organized into series descriptions, with references provided to the relevant accession, box and file numbers. In this way we hope that researchers will be given an overview of where the most significant types of records can be found. These series appear in the Inventory in the following order:

Included in these records are approximately 3,000 unpublished worksheets or drafts of poetry which were received in no particular order at various times. A great deal of the time spent on this project has been devoted to sorting, identifying and dating these worksheets. As much as possible, access to the worksheets has been provided in the first index, but it was not feasible to provide item-level description of each worksheet in this inventory. Most of these worksheets can be found in Accessions 79-20 and 83-187 and are arranged alphabetically by their titles or first lines. A more detailed list is available on request.

Descriptions of correspondence include the total number of letters, memoranda, postcards and telegrams sent to Skelton by correspondents or caused to be sent by them (e.g. through a secretary), and the total number of letters, memoranda and telegrams sent by Skelton or his secretary to various correspondents. The total number of correspondence is broken down into the number of typed, signed letters ("tls.") and handwritten or autographed signed letters ("als."). Covering dates of the correspondence are also provided. Descriptions include any significant subjects discussed in the correspondence and any enclosures (e.g. poems or other literary works sent to Skelton by colleagues, and poems by Skelton which were rejected by publishers and returned to him). The abbreviations "in" and "out" have been used to designate "incoming" and "outgoing". Unless otherwise noted, correspondence consists of original letters in and copies of letters out.

Drafts of literary works reflect the title given to them by Robin Skelton on the works themselves or on file labels. Untitled poems have been described by their first lines. Other untitled works (fiction, essays, reviews) are given brief descriptions in square brackets which serve as supplied titles. Abbreviations used in describing literary works include "ts." for a draft in typescript form, "tss." for more than one draft in typescript form, "hol." for holograph or handwritten drafts by Skelton, and "ms." or "mss." for handwritten manuscripts by other people. Carbon copies and photocopies of drafts are identified as such. The physical extent of unpublished drafts are identified as number of leaves, while the length of galley proofs, page proofs, newspapers and journals are given in number of pages.

Audio and video tapes have been described by their accession number, number of boxes, type and running time of tape, place and date (including dates of broadcast where applicable), names of other people involved (e.g. an interviewer) and subjects discussed. Any access restrictions to fragile originals are also noted. Photographs have been described by accession, box and file numbers, with covering dates provided; the descriptive elements also include size, colour or black and white, and extent given in number of items.

Restricted material includes grant applications; student marks; course evaluation forms; letters of recommendation written by Skelton on behalf of colleagues or former students for jobs, scholarships or grants; assessments of theses; and other correspondence or material considered to be sensitive or embarrassing to the individuals concerned. In most cases access is restricted for 30 years from the date the document was created.

Researchers may also be interested in consulting other records at the University of Victoria Archives which document Robin Skelton's activities. The Robert Sward papers, 1971 Accession, contain early versions of Callsigns which Skelton and Sward originally intended to write together. These include a rough draft written by Skelton with editorial comments by Sward, and a final draft containing poems written by both Sward and Skelton. In addition, Accession #83-158 contains records of the Malahat Review, issues #1 through #64 (1967-1980) and includes correspondence, drafts, proofs and logbooks of works submitted to the magazine. These records complement and expand on information on the Malahat Review contained in Robin Skelton's own files. The Special Collections division also contains newspapers and magazines relating to Skelton; these include Art International, 1969-1970, Union News [The Leeds University Union], 1948-1951, The New Statesman, 1959 and The Listener, 1954-1963.

The compiler wishes to thank Chris Petter for supporting the grant application and co-ordinating the project; Paul Lukasek for helping to locate relevant information in the University Archives; and Brenda Gerth for assisting with the computer and word processing. The compiler also expresses gratitude to Robin Skelton for supporting the project and devoting his time to identify material and answer so many questions; a special thank-you goes to Sylvia Skelton for providing additional information on dates and facts.

Biographical Sketch

Robin Skelton, the only child of Cyril Skelton and Eliza Robins, was born on 12 October 1925 at Easington, East Yorkshire, England. He attended the local school where both his parents taught (his father was headmaster there), and from 1936 to 1943 he was a boarding student at Pocklington Grammar School, near York. He started writing poetry at the age of eight; by the age of fourteen he was writing many poems and essays and had decided on writing as his career. Or rather, one of his careers, for he has had many others.

In 1943 Skelton entered Christ's College, Cambridge, as an RAF cadet, training first to be a Flight Engineer and later switching to train as a Codes and Cypher Clerk. In 1944 he was sent to India, posted to New Dehli, and worked at encoding, decoding, and logging in military messages. (He later developed the theme of communication in his poem "Callsigns"). After the war ended he remained in India and began reviewing films and writing dramas for All-India Radio. During these years he continued to work at his poetry and kept many notebooks which he called "Commonplace Books". He also began making collages, which he has continued to do ever since. While still in India he started corresponding with Sir Geoffrey Keynes, thus beginning a friendship that lasted many years.

De-mobilized in 1947, Skelton returned to England and entered Leeds University on an ex-serviceman's grant that same autumn. There he studied English literature under Professor Bonamy Dobree. At this time Skelton wrote "The Shell", which he considered to be his first "automatic poem" (that is, he saw it develop as if by itself, automatically, in his mind's eye) and which was published in the anthology, Leeds University Verse 1924-1948. Skelton also founded the Student Art Society and published his first short story in The Gryphon, the student magazine, and later became its editor. He also reviewed drama for the student newspaper, The Union News. In 1949 he became co-owner of the Lotus Press, a small publishing house which printed another anthology, Leeds University Poetry 1949. The first annual collection of university poetry published in Britain outside Oxford and Cambridge, this anthology featured work by both faculty and students, including Professors Wilfred Rowland Childe and Kenneth Muir. The Lotus Press, with Skelton and Derrick Metcalfe as publishers, also produced a series of new poetry in paperback called The Acadine Poets, which included a volume of poetry by Wilfred Childe called The Blessed Pastures. Other volumes followed, but the Lotus Press began experiencing financial difficulties, and it ceased publication in 1951.

Skelton graduated in 1950 with a First Class Honours Degree in English literature and continued at Leeds in order to work on an M.A., writing his thesis on the seventeenth-century poet Francis Quarles under the supervision of Wilfred Childe. He received his M.A. in 1951 and was soon appointed to an Assistant Lectureship in the English Department of Manchester University. In 1954 he was promoted to full Lecturer with tenure, and remained at Manchester until 1962.

In 1953 Skelton married Margaret Lambert in her home-town of Lincoln. On their honeymoon in Cornwall they met Michael and Sylvia Snow, and they all became friends. By 1956 Michael and Margaret had fallen in love, and Robin and Sylvia decided to grant them a divorce. Over the next few months Robin and Sylvia themselves fell in love, and were married in February 1957, a few days before Michael and Margaret's own wedding. The two couples have remained the best of friends. Robin and Sylvia now have three children, Nicholas, born in 1957, Alison, born in 1959 (both in Manchester) and Brigid, born in 1966 in Victoria.

During his years at Manchester Skelton gave lectures and poetry readings at Oxford, Cambridge, Leeds, Liverpool, Hull, and Newcastle Universities. He became Chairman of Examiners for the "O Level" English Literature Examinations of the Northern Universities Matriculation Board. He was a regular poetry and theatre critic for the Manchester Guardian. He did many broadcasts for the B.B.C. In 1957 he founded (with Michael Snow and Tony Connor) the Peterloo Group of Poets and Painters, and in 1960 he became the founder-member and first Honourary Secretary of the Manchester Institute of Contemporary Arts (M.I.C.A.).

Skelton published his first book of poetry, Patmos and Other Poems, in 1955. His next two books of poems, Third Day Lucky and Two Ballads of the Muse, appeared in 1958 and 1960 respectively. He also published two books of literary criticism, The Poetic Pattern in 1956 and Cavalier Poets in 1960, as well as J.M. Synge: Translations in 1961 and J.M. Synge: Four Plays and the Aran Islands in 1962. His poems, articles and reviews also appeared in various magazines and journals, including The Listener, Poetry Review, Poetry Manchester, and The Times Literary Supplement.

Skelton's work on the writings of Synge brought him in contact with Ann Saddlemyer, who at that time was preparing her Ph.D. thesis on Synge and teaching at Victoria College, British Columbia. They met while Saddlemyer was doing research in Ireland and England. Skelton originated a long-term project to produce a new edition of all of Synge's works; he acted as General Editor and also edited Synge's poems, while Saddlemyer edited the plays. (Skelton's J.M. Synge: Collected Poems was published in 1962, and Saddlemyer's J.M. Synge: Collected Plays appeared in 1968). Saddlemyer persuaded the Head of the English Department at Victoria College to invite him to teach summer school there in 1962. While in Victoria Skelton was offered a Visiting Professorship at the University of Massachusetts from September 1962 to January 1963, which he accepted. There he organized a weekly poetry magazine and gave poetry readings and lectures, and co-edited (with David Clark) an issue of The Massachusetts Review called "An Irish Gathering". On 1 July 1963 Skelton was appointed Associate Professor of English Literature at the newly constituted University of Victoria, B.C. At the age of thirty-seven he moved permanently to Canada, and he and his family settled in Victoria. He has described his reasons for choosing Victoria over Amherst, Massachusetts: "I had loved Amherst, but everything was in place there. There was nothing to start. Victoria, however, was at its beginnings. There was much to be done. And I thought that maybe I could start things."

Skelton embraced his new home with characteristic energy and enthusiasm. In 1964 he began writing an art column, "Looking Around at Art" for the Victoria Daily Times. He became friends with many local artists, including Myfanwy Pavelic, Maxwell Bates, Pat Martin Bates and Herbert Siebner, and in 1971 he joined the Society of Limners group of artists, writing its constitution and acting as its vice-president and spokesman. He himself also created many collages and works of sculpture.

In 1965 he and Ann Saddlemyer organized "The World of W.B. Yeats", a symposium held at the University of Victoria honouring the centenary of Yeats' birth. In addition to its Canadian edition, the symposium was published in Ireland by the Dolmen Press, in England by Oxford University Press and in the United States by Washington University Press. An accompanying exhibition, mounted at the Victoria Art Gallery, was highly successful. That same year Skelton also gave a Centenary Lecture on the work of W.B. Yeats in Dublin and lectured at the Sligo International Yeats Summer School.

At the University of Victoria, Skelton played an important role in establishing the Library's Special Collections Division, loaning his collection of Irish first editions in 1965 and selling these editions to Special Collections in 1971. Encouraged by the success of the Yeats Festival, which had brought the University international attention, Skelton and his colleague John Peter decided the time was right to establish a Canadian literary magazine. Originally called the "Camosun Quarterly", the magazine began publication in 1967 under its new name, the Malahat Review. As its co-editors, Skelton and Peter published essays, fiction, poetry and art works by Canadians as well as those from other countries. Susan Musgrave had her poems published here for the first time, as did many other young writers. In 1968 the Malahat Review devoted an entire issue to the memory of Sir Herbert Read, to which many distinguished writers contributed. In 1971 John Peter resigned and Skelton continued as sole editor until 1983. Other noteworthy issues included the Robert Graves commemorative issue in 1975, in honour of Graves's 80th birthday, and the Margaret Atwood issue in 1977. To prepare for the Graves issue, Skelton and William David Thomas travelled to Graves's home in Deya, Mallorca, in 1974 to interview Graves personally; they returned the following summer to attend Graves's birthday party.

In 1973, Skelton helped establish the Department of Creative Writing as a separate, independent department; he served as its Chairman until 1976 and remains a full-time professor. Marilyn Bowering was one of many students whom he helped and encouraged. He and his students published a series of anthology pamphlets entitled Introductions from an Island in 1969, 1971, 1973, 1974 and 1977.

Skelton continued his publishing activities. In 1972 he and Sylvia founded the Pharos Press as an alternative to larger, more commercial publishing houses. The Pharos Press published Skelton's own Musebook in 1972, as well as books of poetry by Sean Virgo, Susan Musgrave, Robert Graves and George Faludy. In 1976, shortly after resigning as Chairman of the Department of Creative Writing, Skelton became editor of the Sono Nis Press, with Richard Morriss as its publisher. Skelton continued as editor until 1982, although he still "helps out" from time to time.

In addition to his work in the Victoria literary and artistic community, he has been involved in the more general Canadian scene, touring across the country to give readings and promote his books. He took part in the Arts and Culture programme of the 1976 Olympic Summer Games in Montreal. He served as Chairman of the Writers' Union of Canada from 1982 to 1983 and continues to be an active member. He is also a member of International P.E.N. Skelton joined the League of Canadian Poets shortly after its inception in 1967 and remained a member for some years. But his disagreements with some of the League's policies created considerable tension and led to his resignation.

Skelton also received international recognition and honours; he was made a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature in 1966 and a Knight of Mark Twain in 1976.

Skelton published many more books, as well as reviews, articles and essays in various newspapers and journals. His Selected Poems 1947-1967 was published by McClelland and Stewart in 1968. This volume included "Night Poem, Vancouver Island" which Skelton considered to be his first truly Canadian poem. His other books of poetry include The Hold of Our Hands (1968), An Irish Album (1969), Georges Zuk: Selected Verse (1969), The Hunting Dark (1971), Timelight (1974), Callsigns (1976), Because of Love (1977), Landmarks (1979), Limits (1981), Distances (1985) and Openings (1988). His The Collected Shorter Poems, 1947-1977 appeared in 1981 and The Collected Longer Poems, 1947-1977 in 1985. Skelton also published a play, The Paper Cage, in 1983, a novel, Fires of the Kindred, in 1987, and three collections of short stories between 1984 and 1987. He also continued to produce literary criticism, biography, a history of the Cariboo, verse translations, art reviews, editions, anthologies and books on the occult.

Skelton had long been interested in spells and charms, and this interest intensified when he met Jean Kozocari, popularly known as "the Witch of Oak Bay", ...in the early 1970's. She initiated him into the craft, and he in turn initiated his daughter Alison a few years later. He often works with Kozocari in eliminating unwanted spirits from people's homes. In October of 1989 (in time for Hallowe'en) he and Kozocari published A Gathering of Ghosts: Hauntings and Exorcisms from the Personal Casebook of Robin Skelton and Jean Kozocari, which has received wide attention.

Skelton continues to write and publish. In the spring of 1988 his Memoirs of a Literary Blockhead appeared and was favourably reviewed, providing as it does a highly readable and entertaining recollection of his life. He presently has several other projects underway, and remains as energetic as ever. He will undoubtedly continue to play a significant role in Canadian literature and expand his rich and multi-faceted career.
