Biographical/Historical note
Colin MacInnes was born August 20, 1914 in London. He was the second child and younger son (a daughter died in infancy) of James Campbell McInnes (1874-1945) a professional singer who in 1919 migrated to Canada where he continued his concert career and also taught singing. Colin's mother Angela Mackail (1890-1961) was the daughter of J. W. Mackail and the granddaughter of the artist Edward Burne-Jones. She was also related to Stanley Baldwin and Rudyard Kipling. Angela Mackail McInnes left her husband in 1917 and, after obtaining a divorce, married an Australian, George Allnut Thirkell. In 1920 the family moved to Australia where Colin's half-brother Lance Thirkell was born. In 1929 Angela Thirkell returned to England with her youngest son. There she began to write novels, the best known of which are the series on English country life, the "Barsetshire" novels. Colin and his brother Graham both went by the name of Thirkell until the early 1930s when they resumed using their father's surname, McInnes. Shortly thereafter Colin changed the spelling of his name to MacInnes.
Colin MacInnes was educated in Australia, where he lived until 1930. From 1930 to 1935, he pursued a business career in Brussels. Upon leaving Brussels, he went to London to study painting, first at the London Polytechnic and later at the School of Drawing and Painting, Euston Road. After the outbreak of the war, he served with the British Army as a sergeant in the Intelligence Corps and was sent to Germany - Page 4- colin_macinnes_papers during the occupation. His experiences there formed the basis of his first published novel, To The Victors The Spoils. After leaving the army, he joined BBC Radio, where he evidently wrote scripts. He left the BBC sometime in the mid-Fifties and supported himself for the rest of his life by writing essays, plays, and novels. He was published in many English periodicals and was a regular contributor to "New Society" in 1962 and 1963. His fiction and non-fiction drew upon his experiences in Australia, in the army of occupation in Germany, London low-life, black immigrants, English working-class teenagers, and music halls. Three novels that dealt with modern life in London, City of Spades, 1957, Beginners, 1959, and Mr. Love and Justice, 1960, were followed by historical novels, Westward to Laughter, 1969, and Three Years to Play, 1970. At the time of his death, he was writing a novel, Angus Bard, based on his father's early life. He died April 22, 1976.

Scope and Contents note
The collection consists of correspondence, notebooks, manuscript drafts and typescripts, galley and page proofs of novels and plays, manuscript drafts and tear sheets of essays, writing notebooks, background files, financial records, and documents. Bound proofs have been catalogued and placed with the books. The collection is principally in the order established by MacInnes. The correspondence with his publisher is divided according to the publication to which it pertains, and most of the rest of the correspondence is filed with the manuscript drafts to which it was attached. The presence of correspondence is indicated in the register by an asterisk. The exceptions are letters to and from Elepeth Huxley, and letters from Robert Graves, Sidney Nolan, John Osborne, and Sir John Gielgud, which are indexed and filed at the beginning of the correspondence. Events in MacInnes' life that are documented in the collection are his early years in Brussels, his bankruptcy about 1960, his abortive trip to Africa in 1971 under the auspices of the British Council, and his hospital treatment during his final illness.
A book based in part on this collection is: Gould, Tony. Inside Outsider; The Life and Times of Colin MacInnes. (London: Chatto & Hindus - The Hogarth Press, 1983).
