Walter Swayze fonds

  • CA UWA 11.001
  • Fonds
  • 1879 - 2006

The fonds reflects Dr. Swayze’s long career as a writer and professor in the field of English literature, and an active contributor to academic associations and communities. Dr. Swayze studied and taught at several different institutions across Canada and USA; the records of these activities date from his undergraduate degree to well after his retirement as a professor. They include correspondence with colleagues, editors, and publishers; drafts of his papers, speeches, and articles, as well as published copies of some of his works; minutes and reports; research materials, including newspaper clippings and articles; some photographs; and ephemera from the various institutions with which he was affiliated. A large part of Dr. Swayze’s academic career was devoted to the study of the English poet, Sir William Watson. The fonds includes not only Dr. Swayze’s own research and writing on that topic, but also a quantity of original records and archival reproductions that he collected as part of his research dating from the late 19th and early 20th century. These materials mainly consist of Sir Watson’s correspondence, but include also poetry, music, photographs, and legal or financial documents.
The fonds is divided into five series that reflect different aspects of his research and career. The first series contains records related to Margaret Laurence, a colleague and personal friend of Dr. Swayze. The second, and largest, series is devoted to Sir William Watson, and contains Dr. Swayze’s research that began during his PhD in 1948 and continued throughout his academic career, as well as the materials from Sir Watson himself dating back to the late 19th century. The third series contains records from his professional career more generally: from his time as a student and a professor at several different institutions, and an active writer and member of professional organizations; it also contains some personal records and correspondence. The fourth series contains records generated during his tenure at United College and the University of Winnipeg that relate directly to that institution. The fifth and final series concerns the Crowe Affair, a controversial legal case at United College in which a professor was dismissed over a letter he wrote to a colleague; and also the Canadian Association of University Teachers that became involved in the dispute, of which Dr. Swayze was a formative member.

The fonds is arranged into seven series. The first series consists of twelve annotated books used in Siemens’ research and class lectures at the University of Winnipeg. The second series consists of forty-seven academic journals on English literature from the late 1960s to the late 1990s, and most contain an article or book review written by Siemens. The third series contains lecture notes created by Siemens, which were recreated and compiled frequently over the course of his career at the University of Winnipeg. The fourth series is comprised of Siemens’ academic writing from 1954 until the 1990s. The fifth series contains Siemens’ personal records from 1942 until 2011 and consists of three sub-series, which include memoirs and artifacts; correspondence; and records on his musical performances. The sixth series includes Siemens professional records from 1958 to 2012, which consist of three sub-series, including professional correspondence; grant applications and faculty reports; and conference programs and newspaper clippings. The seventh series contains reproductions of drawings and photographs, including photographs of the University’s English faculty and other staff members, and photographs related to prominent works of English literature, and were taken and collected by Irene and Lloyd Siemens. Included within each series are notations written by Irene Siemens that explain some of the significance and context of both individual records and entire series.

Series 1: Series one contains twelve annotated books. Lloyd Siemens frequently used the English literature books, which include the works of Shakespeare and many Victorian poets and novelists among others, in lectures and research. The notations created by Siemens were written extensively throughout the books and reveal Siemens analysis of each book, while also demonstrating, in part, Siemens’ process of critical analysis and his creation of research and lecture notes. These books serve as exemplars of Siemens’ reading and analysis process. Most books were brought into Siemens possession in the 1960s and 1970s, but the notations were continually updated as Siemens revamped his course work notes or research.

Series 2: Series two contains forty-seven literary criticism journals from the late 1960s to the late 1990s. Most of the journals contain an essay or a book review written by Siemens. He most frequently wrote about the works of nineteenth century English poet and novelist Thomas Hardy, and English novelist Henry Rider Haggard. Siemens frequently contributed to the journal English Literature in Transition 1880-1920. From 1985 to 1999 he collected most editions of The Thomas Hardy Journal.

Series 3: Series three contains Siemens lecture notes. Many of his lectures were first written when he began teaching in the 1960s, but up to the 2000s were constantly updated to reflect Siemens’ new readings of old texts and class needs. These lecture notes reveal the classes Siemens taught at the University of Winnipeg, and reveal some of Siemens’ teaching style and substance. This series is divided based on author, or literary genre. Much of the notes are hand written, some files include extracts of his primary sources, as well as programs for theatre productions of the literary work in question and related postcards. His lectures discuss literature ranging from the sixteenth century to the twentieth, but there is a specific focus on Shakespeare, Thomas Hardy, and nineteenth century poets and novelists.

Series 4: Series four contains Siemens academic writing from 1954 until the 1990s. Included in this series are his undergraduate course work from United College; his graduate school papers, exams and dissertation from the University of Wisconsin at Madison; and off-print book reviews and journal articles.

Series 5: Series five contains Siemens personal records and is divided into three sub-series, which include memoirs and artifacts, personal correspondence, and musical performances. The majority of the memoirs and artifacts sub-series contains records from the 1940s to the 1960s, and includes school report cards, convocation notices, school yearbooks, and university degrees. The sub-series also contains ephemera related to Thomas Hardy, which was collected in the 1970s, and memoirs written by Siemens in the 2000s. The memoirs, while incomplete, include some of Siemens’ memories of his childhood, family, education, and work. The personal correspondence sub-series contains letters and postcards from 1950 to the 2000s, and were mainly sent while Siemens was away at University or on sabbatical in Cambridge with his wife Irene. The letters were received and sent to family, including his parents G.G. and Tina, stepmother Barbara Siemens, his sister Kathy, as well as his friends, including Dave Dyck, Al Reiner, Margaret Swayze and Elfrieda and Erwin Hiebert. The third sub-series contains programs for musical performances and news clippings for Reynold Siemens, Lloyd’s brother and professional cellist, and Lloyd Siemens from the 1940s to the 1970s and from 2001 to 2011. Lloyd Siemens was an accomplished musician in his youth and performed with the Winkler Bible School, Winkler Collegiate Institute, Winkler String Quartette, Winnipeg Men’s Musical Club and Winnipeg Mennonite Children’s Choir. In his retirement, he began to again play in public with the consort of Friends and Winnipeg Seniors’ Chamber Ensemble.

Series 6: Series six contains Siemens professional records and is divided into three series, which include professional correspondence; grant applications, curriculum vitae, and faculty reports; and a collection of conference programs, and newspaper and magazine clippings. The first sub-series contains professional correspondence from 1958 to 2009. The correspondence consists of job applications, letters from colleagues from the University of Winnipeg English department, letters from former students, letters about publications, letters from the editors of the journal English Literature in Transition, letters about research projects, and letters about honours and awards. The second sub-series contains Siemens’ Faculty Activity Reports, Sabbatical Reports, research leave and grant applications and curriculum vitae from 1974 to 1996. The third-sub-series contains collections of conference programs and newspaper and magazine clippings, as well as High School Examination Board of Manitoba Exams from 1969 to 1970. The conference programs are from conferences Siemens attended from 1964 to 1993, and are mostly related to Victorian Studies or Thomas Hardy. From the 1970s to the 1990s Siemens collected clippings related to professional standards for professors, Hardy, as well as funny quotes from students.

Series 7: Series seven contains images collected or created by Siemens, including 45 photographs, 10 postcards and 9 drawing reproductions from the 1940s to the 1990s. Half of the images relate to English literature and history and were used in Siemens’ class lectures. The other half are personal photographs of Lloyd as a child, or with Irene Siemens in England, or socializing with the English faculty at the University of Winnipeg. Also included in this collection are 7 holiday cards sent from Kay and Harry Duckworth to the University faculty from 1971 to 1981, as well as, reproductions of drawings of the University of Manitoba’s University Centre circa 1969.
