Scope and Content Note

The series consists of printed material relating to Carol Ann Duffy's literary career. The series contains material about specific works by Duffy and about Duffy's broader career achievements. Material dealing with specific works includes clippings, dust jackets and promotional material. Printed material pertaining to The World's Wife also contains a teaching study guide. There is also some sheet music for The Manchester Carols, for which Duffy co-wrote the music and lyrics. Material pertaining to Duffy's career includes clippings as well as promotional material for readings, commencement speeches, and other appearances. There are a large number of clippings documenting Duffy's selection as Poet Laureate of the United Kingdom. There is a small amount of material in the series, including clippings, programs, and promotional material, that was collected by Duffy.

All printed material pertaining to a specific work by Duffy is arranged together. Duffy published a number of poems separately in newspapers and other periodicals; where individual poems could be identified as belonging to a larger published collection, printed material relating to these poems has been filed with the other material pertaining to that collection. Where poems appear to have been written especially for appearance in a newspaper, a separate file has been created. Most of these stand-alone poems appeared in 2009 due to interest in Duffy's selection as Poet Laureate, and have to do with topics like contemporary British politics and British participation in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Duffy kept full issues of several magazines and catalogues in which articles about her poems or her career appeared. These items have been indicated in the finding aid, along with the pages containing relevant articles by or about Duffy.

Arrangement Note

Arranged in alphabetical order.
