This reflective article comprises a doctoral research journey for which the archives at MRC were pivotal and produced groundbreaking work, thus enabling the repositioning of a key literary figure from the twentieth century, Daphne du Maurier. The correspondence between the author and Victor Gollancz her publisher led to breakthrough moments connecting contemporary events to the genesis of the short fiction, and this showed du Maurier as an insightful critique of power dynamics in her times.
