Arrangement

The collection is organized into two series: I. Correspondence; and II. Works. Within Works it is arranged in sub-series alphabetically by type of material, thereunder chronologically.

Processor's Note

Given the sheer volume, special interest, and importance of Logue's correspondence with numerous people, both personal and business-related, it is justifiable to afford it special treatment. Incoming letters from the most important figures, no matter how insignificant in content (one each from T. S. Eliot and Henry Miller and business letters from Bertrand Russell and Sir Lawrence Olivier), are given a folder each. Otherwise, the more important or interesting pieces of incoming letters are mentioned en passant. Prudence cautions, however, that this practice is not, and cannot be, exhaustive or entirely justified for sundry needs of potential researchers.

A special note about Logue's correspondence in the 1950s, a larger part of which hailed from his Paris years, those of an aspiring writer to find a niche for himself: Those letters are often more interesting reading, for there is more self-revelation and evidence of intense thinking and reflection from Logue and his correspondents, mostly a small and closely knit group of friends. Most of the time incoming letters were signed only with first names (often illegible), occasionally nicknames, or no names at all. Because the correspondents concern a smaller group than those in later decades (though no less voluminously), the letters are arranged alphabetically by either first names (of those close friends mostly known only by their first names) or last names (of those more formal acquaintances). The correspondence of later decades (when Logue was back in London, became established, and developed a more business- or career-oriented rapport with the world) warranted a chronological arrangement by years and then months (and sometimes days).

Explanation of some of the sub-series terms used: "bio files" refer to information concerning Logue's life and work (other than the manuscripts of his works); "fiction" refers to Logue's attempts at novels [there is only one example in this collection of fragments of an aborted science fiction; Rare Books and Manuscripts of Pennsylvania State University has the published book of Logue's only known work in this area, Lust, a pornographic novel not without artistic merits, written under the pen name of Count Palmiro Vicarion (Paris: Olympia Press, 1959)]; "media" refers exclusively to the three video tapes in the collection; the difference of "notes" (on pieces of paper) and "notebooks" (notes in a bound notebook) is only in the physical format; "poem" (single in number), "poems" (more than one poem not necessarily in any intended group or series), and "poetry" (poems published in a book format) are similarly distinguished from one another; given Logue's pioneering work in that area (it was said that his satirical poster-poem I Shall Vote Labour sold so well, 30,000 copies, that it launched the poster-poem industry), poems intended for or printed on big posters are given a separate sub-series; "screenplay" sub-series covers such interchangeable terms as moviescript or filmscript, referring to any work intended for the screen (movie or TV films) whether or not it is actually realized; the so-called "translation" (more aptly free adaptation, variation and development) of Homer is not included in the "translation" sub-series (rightly his Homer poetry has been widely regarded as creative works of their own and as Logue's best work in poetry).

Biographical Note

Christopher Logue was born November 23, 1926, in Portsmouth, England, and educated at Portsmouth Grammar School. He had a brief army experience, which ended in his imprisonment for two years from around 1945-46 to November 1947 in Palestine (where he was stationed as Lance Corporal in the Fourth Battalion of the Black Watch) for being in "illegal possession of six Army Books 64 (identity documents and/or pay books issued to other ranks)." Rejected by several universities he applied to, for failing to pass the Mature Matriculation Test and supposed inadequacy of proper educational qualification, Logue went on the dole and decided to become a poet. He studied intensively and extensively, as reflected in his many notebooks in the collection from the late 1940s and 1950s. The exemplar of Ezra Pound, who Logue considers to be the greatest 20th-century poet writing in English and who was jailed then for charges of treason by the U.S. Government, was seminal in Logue's becoming a poet and (re) creative "translator" (his future Homer poetry). He started to cultivate literary friends and sought advice from his literary heroes such as Pound (whose replies are still in Logue's possession), Bertolt Brecht (another great influence in his creating of both politically involved and artistically superior poetry and drama and the formation of his leftist political values), and Samuel Beckett.

Dispirited by what he perceived to be the bleakness of London's literary scenes, Logue headed for the Left Bank of Paris in 1951 and stayed until 1956. He formed most of his lasting friendships during his Paris years and his correspondence from 1954-59 was very voluminous, intense and detailed. After his return he took an increasingly active part in London's cultural and political activities in the following two decades. Logue's pioneering work in jazzetry (poetry read to jazz), poster-poetry (politically direct poems printed on large posters, learned from and inspired most likely by the examples of the popular cultural movements in Mao's China from 1957, culminating in its Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution in the late 1960s and Homer poetry (thought by many, including noted British critic George Steiner and a host of American critics, to be his greatest work in and contribution to poetry) originated from that period. Known for his dramatic and cinematic gifts in his poetry, it was only natural that Logue was equally adept in writing plays both for the stage and for the screen (movie and TV films). This same dramatic instinct coupled with an ever present comic, ironic and satirical bent and lyrical gifts gave rise to lyrics for The Establishment (London's satirical nightclub) and the stage, and a series of illustrated children's and humor books (especially the widely read and admired True Stories from "Private Eye," condensed and adapted by Logue from bizarre news stories). Naturally endowed with remarkable acting and narrating abilities, he has performed in several films mostly directed by Ken Russell, stage productions (including his own plays and poems-turned-plays from his Homer poems), and extensive poetry readings, often to large audiences from Eton to the Walls Sausage Factory, in and outside England as part of his sustained involvement in pop culture.

Scope and Content

The collection contains manuscripts of Logue's essays, plays, poems, short stories, and screenplays; reviews of his books; newspaper clippings; poster-poems; research files; videocassettes of his film performances; and voluminous correspondence (1949-1993). The collection documents his creative, recreative and social activities such as participation in demonstrations for nuclear disarmaments, involvement in community politics, and other social and political activities. Among topics he discusses are Ezra Pound, and the Hugo Claus case. Manuscripts of his works include Girls, Kings, an account of books one and two of Homer's Iliad, New numbers, Ode to the dodo, poems from 1953 to 1978, Patrocleia, Pax, book XIX of the Iliad, She sings, he sings, Songs from the lily-white boys, War music, an account of books 16 to 19 of Homer's Iliad, and Weakdream sonnets.

Correspondents include Samuel Beckett, Betsy Blair, Bertolt Brecht, Hugo Claus, Liese Deniz, Nell Dunn, T. S. Eliot, Ian Fleming, Graham Greene, Adrian Haggard, Michael Horovitz, Frank Kermode, Philip Larkin, Henry Miller, Laurence Olivier, Peter Orlovsky, John Osborne, George Steiner, and Shirley Thompson, among others.
