Various materials concerning the re-publication of the poem 'The Chaos' by Dr Gerald Nolst Trenité, first published in 1920, a poem that explores the diversity of spelling and pronunciation in the English language.
The text was published by the Association of Little Presses as English as she should be spoken! (1991), and re-published as The Chaos by New River Project (1993).
The file includes copies of original versions of the poem, correspondence between Cobbing and J G Nolst Trenité (nephew), and letters (1991) from Michael Colmer and Peter Mortimer (editor, Iron Magazine, which had previously published a version of the poem in issue 55, 1988).
