Scope and content
The material in Series 6 represents some of the reference material Wilfred Watson retained. It includes newsclippings and articles about Marshall McLuhan, and a series of articles he clipped about contemporary theatre. There are newsletters and theatre programs, as well as collected articles, essays, papers and poems written by others. Included with this last grouping, are some student works including undergraduate essays, a Ph.D. thesis written by Stefan Haag (studying Wilfred Watson's writings), a M.A. thesis chapter, and poetry written by former students of Watson's. Material related to artist Jack Shadbolt's exhibits is included in this series, along with a copy of Sheila Watson's Antigone and a carbon copy of The Double Hook with manuscript emendations.
The records in this series include a lot of published material such as newsclipppings, magazine articles, and offprints. There are also typescript materials including essays, poetry, and articles that others have sent to Wilfred Watson for his perusal. Often the material is in a reproduced form such as a photocopy or carbon, and many of the items are personally inscribed to Watson. The material is in excellent condition.
The series title is based on the contents of records.
