Papers of Richard Warwick Bond (1857-1943), Professor of English, University College,...

Apart from general correspondence from 1796-1939 (some of it concerning earlier members of the Bond family), Bond's papers mainly reflect his literary activities. This included work on the Marlay papers (see GB 0159 My) that he was editing for publication, and notes for his edition of Bercher's Nobility of Women, presented to the Roxburghe Club by Charles Brinsley Marlay. There are also some manuscript poems by Bond and material relating to his role as a Nottingham academic, including English Literature syllabuses.

Correspondence, literary manuscripts, academic papers, diary.

The Bond collection is divided into two main sections: BD 1-26, files of correspondence and associated papers, arranged chronologically within groups concerning particular topics or people; BD 27-117 consists of literary and other papers.

Identification of copyright holders of unpublished material is often difficult. Permission to make any published use of any material from the collection must be sought in advance in writing from the Keeper of the Department of Manuscripts and Special Collections (email mss-library@nottingham.ac.uk). The Department will try to assist in identifying copyright owners but the responsibility for copyright clearance before publication ultimately rests with the reader.
