The NELM Collection

Abstract

It is generally acknowledged that Douglas Livingstone (1932-1996) is one of South Africa's finest poets, and his wish that at least one of his poems will still be read 100 years after its publication will no doubt come true. Meanwhile, his papers are carefully conserved at the National English Literary Museum. This is one NELM's major collections and constitutes both an important scholarly resource and a rich source for literary exhibitions and school programmes at the museum.
