Administrative/Biographical History

Victor Gollancz established his publishing company, Victor Gollancz Ltd in 1928. The company was based in offices in Henrietta Street, Covent Garden, London. It was to become one of the most profitable and successful firms in British publishing history. Gollancz had a flair for marketing and the company quickly made an impression with its bright yellow book jackets and London literary parties. Gollancz angered his rivals with his large scale advertising campaigns and whole-page newspaper advertisements, which were unusual for the time.

When Gollancz died in 1967, his daughter Livia Gollancz took over the company. She sold it to Houghton Mifflin, a Boston based independent publishing company in 1989, in preparation for her retirement. By that time the company was publishing a wide range of both fiction and non fiction books including science fiction, thrillers and children's books.

Houghton Mifflin sold Victor Gollancz Ltd to rival publisher Cassell plc in October 1992. The Covent Garden offices in Henrietta Street were vacated and the Gollancz operation moved to Cassell's offices in the Strand, London. It was at this time that the company archives were deposited in the Modern Records Centre. Victor Gollancz Ltd was incorporated into Orion Books in 1998 and is now the science fiction and fantasy imprint of Orion Publishing Group Ltd.

MSS.318/3/DLS Dorothy L. Sayers 1928-1934

This series contains correspondence relating to

Great short stories of detection, mystery and horror edited Dorothy L. Sayers, publisher: London : V. Gollancz, 1928, 1931, 1934

,. The correspondence is between Sayers and various authors, agents and publishers whose stories she sought to include in the books. Sayers handled the correspondence for the first two volumes herself, with the assistance of her husband, Major Atherton Fleming, and Winifred Pearce who dealt with some correspondence in the absence of both of the above. However, the correspondence for volume III was handled on Miss Sayers' behalf by John D. Millard. Mr Millard had worked for the Strand Magazine and was also a writer, indeed Miss Sayers decided to include one of his stories in volume III. Whereas Miss Sayers had tended to use a more personal tone when writing her letters, Millard's style was usually more business-like and formal. The latter also seemed to prefer to ask agents to obtain the necessary permissions from publishers, rather than writing directly to them himself. Another difference in style between Sayers and Millard included the way in which letters were filed.

The correspondence for the first two volumes was grouped by author. Each author had been allocated a number for volume I and individual items of correspondence were then given an author's number. For volume II the correspondence was mostly unmarked, and it was therefore decided to group the correspondence for volumes I and II together by author for the purpose of listing.

In addition to numbers being allocated for filing the correspondence for volume I, a letter series was also used. These letters were used for correspondence with: Methuen and Co. Ltd, publishers; Victor Gollancz; J.B Pinker and Sons, agents; the Strand Magazine and A.P. Watt and Son, agents. Correspondence with the above named agents and publishers is also to be found amongst the papers relating to individual authors.

As intimated above, the correspondence for volume III was handled differently. Instead of being grouped specifically by author, items were individually numbered, 1,2,3.... etc. This original order was preserved when listing, which means that related correspondence is not always numbered consecutively.

For all 3 volumes extensive cross-referencing was made, to take into account those items of correspondence relating to more than one author.

A further grouping of documents consists of bills and receipts for payment relating to volume I. These had not been allocated any filing number/letter at the time and it was decided to list them together as a group.
