Series-level Scope and Content Note

From the Series:

This series includes boxes 3 through 5 and contains Alan Redway's notes, manuscript drafts, and typescripts for his Graham Greene bibliography. The organization of the material is based on the original folders labelled by Redway and on the bibliographic sequence of sections or 'lists' used by Redway (who basically followed the standard sequence used by most bibliographers) as shown: 'A' List - books by GG 'B' List - GG's contributions to books (including. introductions, anthologies) 'C' List - Submissions by GG to periodicals 'D' List - GG books in translation 'E' & 'F' Lists - dramatizations/films of GG works 'G' List - designated by Redway for 'miscellaneous publications: G-1 for group letters; G-2 for interviews; G-3 for GG's comments on books (usually printed for the blurbs on dust jackets); G-4 for editions for the visually impaired; G-5 for educational editions; and G-6 for plagiaries. 'H' List - unpublished writings by GG 'X' List - advertisements of GG's books. This was probably not seriously meant for inclusion in the final publication (see folder 3:5). Where an original, labelled folder existed a notation has been made in the description for the folder and the label transcribed. The first box in the series (box 3) includes miscellaneous odds and ends (unrelated to his bibliographic work) belonging to Redway that arrived with the accession (see folder 3:1), as well as notes for the bibliography taken by Neil Brennan's daughter, Margaret, at the Humanities Research Center, University of Texas, Austin, in 1981 (included here because they are manuscripts relating directly to AR's own notes for the bibliography). It should be noted that much of the material in this series was probably generated by AR's collaborator Neil Brennan (and some possibly by the third collaborator Cecil Woolf).
