The Sceptre Press Talk at Cadbury Research Library

The Sceptre Press, founded in the 1960s by poet and writer Martin Booth, published previously unpublished works by poets including Ted Hughes, Seamus Heaney and Sylvia Plath.  In this talk Martin Killeen, Rare Books Librarian at the Cadbury Research Library, will shed light on the interesting work of this little known press, followed by the opportunity to view and handle the elegant slim volumes produced by the press as well as typescripts and letters from Martin Booth’s archive.
