Biographical Sketch
Penelope Knox Fitzgerald was born into a literary family on December 17, 1916, in Lincoln,
England. Her father was E. V. Knox, editor of
Punch magazine (1932-1949). One of her uncles, Monseigneur Ronald
Knox, was well known as a translator of the Bible and a writer of detective stories.
Penelope attended Somerville College and, in 1941, married Desmond Fitzgerald with whom she
raised three children. Her work experience was varied and included working in the Ministry
of Food, for the BBC, in a haunted bookshop in Southwold, and as an English teacher. Her
first professional experience in writing came in the 1950s when she worked as an assistant
editor for the literary magazine,
World Review. She began her
writing career as the biographer of Edward Burne-Jones ( Edward Burne-Jones: A Biography, 1975) and of her father and his
three brothers in The Knox Brothers (1977).
Fitzgerald began writing fiction after her husband was diagnosed with cancer in the 1970s,
partly in an effort to entertain him through his illness. Her first published novel was a
mystery,
The Golden Child (1977). Her second novel, The Bookshop, was shortlisted for the Booker Prize in 1978, and in
1979 Fitzgerald won the Booker Prize for her novel Offshore. She was also shortlisted for Innocence (1986), The Beginning of Spring (1988)
and The Gate of Angels (1990). Fitzgerald won the Heywood Hill Literary
Prize for lifetime achievement in literature in 1996 and was awarded the National Book
Critics Circle Prize in 1997 for Blue Flower, her fictional
biography of the German Romantic poet Novalis.
Penelope Fitzgerald died on April 28, 2000. A collection of her short stories,
The Means of Escape, was published later that year. Her collected
essays, A House of Air and The Afterlife, were also published posthumously in 2003.
Scope and Contents
Research notes, manuscripts, correspondence, printed materials, contracts, and photographs,
1971-1988 (8 document cases), document the literary works of Penelope Fitzgerald. Arranged
as received in two series representing her creative works and research notebooks, the papers
reflect the research and production phases of her works as well as the responses to them.
Nearly half of the materials are research notebooks filled with various notes, writings, and
clippings. There are also research materials included in the creative works series under
each title. A third series was added comprising personal materials not related to any of
Fitzgerald's writings. Oversized materials include one promotional poster for
The Beginning of Spring and printed materials.
The creative works series includes varying levels of documentation on all nine of
Fitzgerald's major works (
The Knox Brothers, Offshore, Innocence, Charlotte Mew, The Beginning of Spring, The Bookshop, The Golden Child, Edward Burne-Jones, and At Freddie's) and four of her minor works ( The Axe, The Poetry Bookshop, The Works of Ernest Shepherd, and Human Voices). The papers contain substantial information on the
Knox brothers, Charlotte Mew, and Edward Burne-Jones that provides extensive documentation
for research. There are eleven manuscripts, two of which are handwritten and four of which
contain extensive corrections. Much of the research correspondence is annotated with
comments by Fitzgerald. Also included in the creative works series are Fitzgerald's
inventory lists which state the significance of many of the materials she collected during
her research. There is no outgoing correspondence in the collection.
The researcher should be aware that this is a very consciously created collection in that
Fitzgerald selected the materials that would be included and made notations on many of them
as to their significance or their relationship to her work. Some of her commentaries are
quite blunt. None of Fitzgerald's life prior to her writing career is reflected in the
papers.
Series Descriptions
Series I. Creative Works, 1912-1983 (bulk 1974-1981)
This series consists of Fitzgerald's papers relating to her various creative works.
Arranged as received, the papers are organized into subseries by the particular works
they concerned. Some works are more completely represented than others. For example,
The Axe has only one folder of production
materials, while The Knox Brothers has 19 folders of research
materials and correspondence. To show the various phases of the writing and publishing
process, each work is arranged into research materials, manuscripts, production
materials, responses to the book, and Fitzgerald's inventories of documents. The
research materials include notes, incoming correspondence, photographs, and items
Fitzgerald collected in pursuing her research. Fitzgerald corresponded with biographers,
historians, British nobility, and relatives of the people she wrote about. This
correspondence reveals information not only about Fitzgerald's subjects, but also about
closely-related topics, such as the Pre-Raphaelites (the Rossettis in particular), Oscar
Wilde, and George Eliot. Manuscripts (some handwritten) are present for Offshore, Innocence, Charlotte Mew, The Beginning of Spring,
The Bookshop, At Freddie's, and her
introduction to The Poetry Bookshop. All have corrections.
Production materials include correspondence from her publishers, contracts, and dust
jackets. Responses to the book include both personal letters and review clippings.
Fitzgerald's inventories of documents are filed at the end of the materials for each
work and provide additional information about items in the collection. Incoming
correspondence is arranged alphabetically; all other materials are arranged
chronologically. Materials dating from 1912-1970 are items gathered by Fitzgerald in the
course of her research. An index of works is located at the end of this guide.
Of particular note the page proofs of Evelyn Waugh's
The Life of the Right Reverend Ronald Knox, Fellow of Trinity College,
Oxford, and Pronotary Apostolic to His Holiness Pope Pius XII, located with
the research materials for The Knox Brothers.
Series II. Notebooks, undated
This series consists of 57 notebooks used by Fitzgerald in her research and in drafting
her stories. The notebooks contain handwritten notes and parts of manuscripts as well as
various loose sheets (many torn from other notebooks), correspondence, and clippings
that have been left in their original positions between the pages. In some instances it
was possible to determine a title for the notebooks, although there is no assurance that
all the material in that notebook pertains to a specific novel or short story. Where no
single title could be determined, a parenthetical note has been placed on the folder
list to give the researcher some indication of the contents of the notebook. In many
cases, the notes written on the covers of the notebooks were simply too extensive or too
illegible to transcribe. None of the notebooks are dated, but they are a potential
goldmine for researchers interested in Fitzgerald's research and writing processes.
Series III. Personal Materials, 1978
This series focuses on Fitzgerald's personal materials that do not relate to any of her
creative works. The folder contains two blank postcards, a memorial card on Joshua
Haycraft's death, and a poem written (by Colin Haycraft?) to celebrate the 1978 election
of a new Professor of Poetry at Oxford.
