Papers of Geoffrey Dutton (1922-1998)
Scope and content note
Papers
1898-1998
23.00m (164 boxes) + 4 security binders + 8 folio boxes
Available for reference.
The papers were purchased in a number of instalments. The bulk of the papers were received from Geoffrey Dutton between 1986 and 1998, with a further two small instalments received from his partner, Robin Lucas, in 2002 and 2003.
The collection includes correspondence, diaries and notebooks,
manuscript drafts, photographs, research files, newspaper cuttings and other
published material. They provide a near-comprehensive coverage of Duttons
public career as an author, poet, academic, editor, critic, publisher and
journalist. The papers document Dutton's life as a man of letters
who was often researching and writing three or four books simultaneously, while
at the same time compiling anthologies, editing magazines and attending
conferences.
Dutton wrote or edited over 200 books, including poetry, fiction,
biographies, art appreciation, art and literary history, travel books, novels
for children and critical essays. Twenty of Duttons published monographs
are represented in the collection, along with many of his articles, reviews,
short stories, poetry, radio and television scripts, lectures and other
writings. The papers also offer considerable insights into Duttons family
life, and more generally, into Australian literary and cultural life in the
period 1945-1998.
As a central figure in Australian literary life, Duttons extensive
correspondence stands as a major source for researchers studying the lives and
writings of many other notable literary figures. In particular, substantial
groups of letters of Patrick White, Russell Drysdale, David Campbell and
Alister Kershaw feature amongst the correspondence. The Richard Aldington-Roy
Campbell-Alister Kershaw sequence of letters offers valuable insights into
Australian links with the European world of letters. Also of interest are
papers documenting Duttons association with the Angry
Penguins literary group during the 1940s, when he developed close
friendships with the poets Donald Kerr, Paul Pfeiffer, Max Harris and Kershaw,
and the painters Sidney Nolan and Arthur Boyd.

Note on the arrangement of the papers
The collection was transferred to the Library in three major and several
minor instalments between 1986 and 2003..
Prior to 1999, two main groups of the papers were described and
arranged:
- 80 boxes from the first two 1986 consignments were processed in 1988
- 39 boxes (comprising five instalments received in 1991) were
arranged in March 1992
In May 1999, the collection was reorganised to incorporate the third
major and subsequent smaller additions, resulting in this finding aid and
bearing new series and box arrangements and numbering.
In April 2002 a small instalment of papers was received. The papers have
been added to the relevant series/folder as follows: 2/163; 14/5; 30/35; 37/44;
43/109; 44/42.
In March 2003 a further small instalment of papers was received. The papers have been added to the relevant series/folder as follows: 2/164-168; 22/8; 32/40-44; 34/60-61; 37/45-46; 38/ 29-31; 40/55; 42/50; 43/110; 45/19. Note: four VHS cassette tapes of interviews of Geoffrey Dutton were not retained in the collection. Details are available from the Manuscripts Branch on request.

Series description
Series 1 Diaries and notebooks, 1948-92 (Restricted until
2007)
The diaries cover most of Duttons adult life and record the great
diversity of his activities and close association with and impressions of many
notable Australians. The ten volumes contain about 1600 pages of small writing.
The entries are not daily, but there are relatively few long breaks, except for
the periods 1966-69 and 1977. The entries are extremely detailed and record
Duttons activities and conversations, give vivid impressions of people,
and contain reflections, ideas and emotional outbursts. There are references to
hundreds of well-known names in literature, the arts, politics and high
society, in Australia, Britain and America. There are also detailed diaries of
his visits to the Soviet Union, Romania, Germany and Singapore. Major crises in
Duttons life, such as his falling-out with Patrick White and the end of
his first marriage, are documented. The diaries were a major source for
Duttons autobiography Out in the open (1994).
The notebooks contain notes of Dutton's research, his reading and people
whom he met.

company until 1977. The first original title published by Sun Books was
Geoffrey Blaineys The tyranny of distance : how distance shaped
Australia's history (1966). The first book was to have been Alan
Mooreheads Coopers Creek, but the British hardback
publisher and literary agent insisted that the paperback rights be given to a
British publisher. Artwork by Lawrence Daws for the cover of Coopers
Creek is included in this series. The Daws design of the Sun Books
colophon led to a commercial design by Brian Sudgrove, which all Sun Books have
carried ever since.

Series 43 Dutton family papers, 1922-1993
The Dutton family papers have been assembled by Dutton and his family,
particularly Duttons sister, Lady Blackburn. The comprehensive range of
material reflects the influential and interesting lives of four generations of
a pioneering Australian family. The family papers and photographs extend back
to the nineteenth century, and are a useful record of an old landowning family
which divided its life between Australia and Europe, including information on
old properties and families in South Australia. The photographs are a fine
source on the life of the gentry in Australia, and their offspring in Oxford
and Europe, as well as early Australian motoring.
Of importance are eight large photograph albums (1901-c.1955) which
contain many photographs of family members in England and Europe and of Dutton
