Scope and Contents

This series includes editorial files documenting the submission of materials, editing of works for publication, layout design and illustrations for the magazine, and related projects of the editors. Manuscript and typescript drafts and proofs of articles for publication in Form are present for works by international writers and artists, including Pierre Albert-Birot, Thomas Bernhard, Charles Biederman, Simon Cutts, Girard Genette, Oliver Hawkins, R. C. Kenedy, Xanti Schawinsky, Richard Sherwood, and Charles Tomlinson. Contributor lists, paste-ups and page proofs for whole issues, illustrations, and photosetting specifications are also present, as well as unsolicited submissions and related correspondence. This series also contains other editorial and writing projects by Form's editors, including copies of previous publications on which they collaborated, such as Image and Kinetic Art, as well as related projects by individual editors, such as Philip Steadman's printed object poems for Augusto de Campos and the 1967 Brighton Festival and Mike Weaver's academic writings on American studies and concrete poetry.

Researchers should note that editorial files are not complete and represent later issues more thoroughly, especially Form 8 and 10. Occassional unsolicited submissions and proofs are present for materials intended for Form 11, which was never completed.
