CORRESPONDENCE: Spirited dialogue between Stephen Potter & Jon Wynne-Tyson concerning Stephen Potter's commission to write an Introduction to the Centaur Press edition of 'Omniana' by Robert Southey. However, in 1967 the commission transferred to Robert Gittings and Potter's version remained unused; the letters reveal why. Wynne-Tyson's increasing frustration with the non-appearance of Potter's work is apparent: 5th September, 1966 "The situation with regard to this wretched work gets less and less satisfactory.after two solid years or more I still haven't got an Introduction from you, short or long, good or bad." concluding damningly "Do you indeed exist, Mr. Potter, for I have little evidence for the assumption." TIMELINE: The collection of correspondence began in December 1964 in a straightforward formal but lively fashion with "Dear Mr. Potter, Thank you very much for the kinky blurb. I'm not really much of a modern, but I think that's the word." A business-like discussion of the 1812 edition of 'Omniana' follows, with typed letters in 1965 on Centaur Press headed paper, laying out guidelines for an Introduction for the new edition, with mention of Coleridge's footnotes. Cracks appear by May 1966 when notes from Jon Wynne-Tyson to Stephen Potter begin to put pressure on and display exasperation "I keep announcing the book each year and booksellers are getting tetchy." A softer approach is also tried: "why not do a shorter piece within next few weeks? Say 2000-3000 words for the usual £25 rather than something which is going to tax your time and thought?" Replies came rather like trying to catch butterflies: short notes on post cards "I will write to you on Sunday next and explain" followed by "Please give me another day or two before writing" The situation has deteriorated further by April1967, & ultimatums are despairingly issued: "As you have already made it clear in best bookmanship manner that our usual fee, although good enough for some of the highest paid scholars in the country, is peanuts for S.P., I shall quite understand if you would rather forget about the whole thing." Mysteriously, in May 1967 "Among the stuff you gave me I have found the enclosed, which has all the aspects of an Introduction. Am I being the victim of super-gamesmanship? Is the implication that Potter pens prefaces in his sleep.?" By return, from the Saville Club, Brook Street "Omniana Intro. I had quite forgotten I had started it: though I remember doing a chunk of reading for it." The whole saga ends amicably shortly afterwards: Potter's unfinished Introduction needed yet more work & Robert Gitting "had your blessing before coming across the typescript, so I'd hate to disappoint him." The correspondence concludes with a short to & fro on a different subject: the idea Jon Wynne-Tyson might be interested in purchasing books from Stephen Potter's collection "What about the great Potter classic the Muse in Chains, never reprinted since the War.(Or Mrs. Coleridge's letters?)" LETTERS: Typed Wynne-Tyson letters frequently re-use the reverse of old letters eg. from Punch Publications, to photocopy letters for the record; these are included in the dialogue. The correspondence is a window on the working practice of author and publisher; the professional relationship of trust and respect; and the display of strong of personalities which ensues. Stephen Potter's hand-written letters have a rather scatty and optimistic style "My friend, Southey is beginning to get us down.* Don't let this spoil a pleasant prospective friendship." Jon Wynne-Tyson's typed, professional, & encouraging letters which become thoroughly fraught,"for pity's sake bring the matter conclusively to an end one way or the other, as I have but one life, one pair of hands, and one unduplicated set of nerves that already resemble a wire brush." THE LONDON LIBRARY: There is also an amusing glimpse into a lost world of letters & libraries: J.W-T to SP: "The Librarian of the London Library has written to me in red ink to say that he has still not received the Southey Omniana. This is his fourth or fifth request and he is really getting agitated." The reply came "my sec. Miss Strong took it back. She confirms: Weeks ago. This has happened to me before- something wrong with their checking system." The plot thickened with a formal reply from the London Library stating the volumes had not been found, & they were looking to charge the the account of Mr. Wynne-Tyson, whose response was: "perhaps your previous experience with Mr. Potter will suggest whether the books are likely to turn up in due course."

Following WW1 Potter studied English at Oxford, and after some false starts spent his early working life as an academic, lecturing in English literature at Birkbeck College, University of London, during which time he published several works on Samuel Taylor Coleridge Driven to find a more comfortable income & lifestyle, he took up a post producing and writing for the BBC, later becoming a freelance writer. Commercial success & recognition came with a series of humorous books on how to secure an unfair advantage. In 1947 'Gamesmanship' (alluded to in the correspondence) aims to show how poor players can beat better ones by subtle psychological ploys. In 1927 Potter married Marian Anderson Attenborough (1900Ð1981), a painter professionally known as Mary Potter. In 1951 Potter and his wife moved to Suffolk, to the Red House in Aldeburgh, becoming friends with Benjamin Britten & Peter Pears. Signedes.
