- Mutual Admiration Society is a 130,000-word study based on research in twenty-one different archives and libraries in London, Essex, Manchester, Oxford, Cambridge, Birmingham Bournemouth, Bristol, Chicago, and Massachusetts. Many of these personal and institutional collections were unindexed and rarely-used: for example, the collection of Muriel Jaeger’s letters, photographs, and literary manuscripts found in a garage in the late stages of research, or the uncatalogued boxes and albums constituting the archive of the Bournemouth Little Theatre Club. The project required knowledge of disparate historiographies including literary history, history of medicine, theories of gender and sexuality, and the history of education.
