The Novelist and the Bibliographer

Few British novelists have written so long and so well as Graham Greene. Few bibliographers have been so thorough and so devoted as the late Alan Redway. For more than 35 years he had been compiling a bibliography of Greene's works (in conjunction with Professor Neil F. Brennan of Villanova University) which will shortly be published by the Oxford University Press. Through the auspices of Mrs. Helen Redway of Epsom, England the Library recently acquired Mr. Redway's research papers. Besides the more than 25 letters from Graham Greene, there are also scores of letters from other writers, editors, bibliographers and scholars, all regarding Greene and his works. It is fitting that at Georgetown the papers of the bibliographer will be in close proximity to the archives of the novelist.
