Inscribed by Raymond Brett in blue ink to the front free endpaper "For Brynmor / with gratitude for the many / years of happiness I have / enjoyed in Hull under your / leadership / Raymond." Brett (1917-1996) was G. F. Grant Professor of English at the University of Hull between 1952 and 1982 and Dean of the Faculty of Arts from 1960-1962. He published and edited many books on (and by) Coleridge and Wordsworth. Brett was a friend to Philip Larkin, and shortly before his death in 1996, he wrote a short, penetrating account of the relationship, published posthumously in the Larkin Society bulletin 'About Larkin' (April 1999). A print-out of that essay is laid in to this book. Sir Brynmor Jones (19031989), was born in North Wales and educated at University College of Wales at Bangor and at St John's College, Cambridge. In 1947 he became a professor chair at University College, where he later became Dean of Science, Deputy Principal. When the college achieved full university status in 1954, he became iPro-Vice-Chancellor and, in 1956, Vice-Chancellor. The expanded University of Hull Library, famously presided over by the poet, Philip Larkin, was named after Jones in 1967.
