Introduction
The Quentin Bell Papers, extending to over
5,000 letters and related documents, are concerned with commenting
on research, advising on editorial matters, and administering copyright
consents. The collection contains a large body of correspondence between
Professor Bell and the many scholars and critics world wide who contributed
to Woolf studies in the second half of the twentieth century. The second
part of the collection, the Topic Files, comprises thematic files which
relate largely to Quentin Bell’s own concerns, including correspondence
with Ernst Gombrich. The largest group includes over 700 letters between
Bell and the staff of the Hogarth Press.
