Background History
The Coton Collection originated in the personal library of the late
Edward Haddakin (1906-1969), the eminent ballet and dance critic who wrote
under the name of A.V. Coton. This library, consisting of the books, periodicals,
programmes, souvenir items, and photographs collected by Edward Haddakin
during his career as a ballet and dance critic from 1938-1968, was donated
to Royal Holloway by his wife, Dr. Lillian Haddakin (1914-1982), formerly
Senior Lecturer in English at University College, London.

Location
The books and journals in the Collection, which have been recorded
in both the Library's On-Line Catalogues and the separate database mentioned
below, can be found mostly on the open shelves in the Founder's Library
(there are a few items in the Music Library) at the classmark indicated
for each record.
Data for the programmes, photographs, and calendars in the Collection
have been entered into a database operating under Idealist for Windows.
At the present time these items are being stored with the College Archives
(located in the South Tower of the Founder's Building) in boxes in which
performance programmes, souvenir programmes, photographs, and calendars
are arranged in separate classified sequences. The Idealist database in
which these items are recorded also contains the records of the books and
journals in the Collection and is publicly available on an open access
PC in the Founder's Library.
As part of an ongoing special cataloguing project Barry Wintour is gradually
making all the records in the Idealist database available on the web.
Enquiries about access to the programmes, photographs, and calendars
in the Collection should be made to David Ward (e-mail address: D.Ward@rhul.ac.uk).

A.V. Coton - Biographical Note
The following biographical note about A.V. Coton is extracted from Writings
on Dance, 1938-68, by A. V. Coton, (selected and edited by Kathrine
Sorley Walker and Lillian Haddakin and published in London by Dance Books
in 1975).
"A.
V. COTON (EDWARD HADDAKIN) was born at York on 16 February, 1906; son of
a railwayman; of mixed Irish and English extraction. He was educated at
St. Michael's College, Leeds. From 1922 to 1924 he was a merchant seaman,
and he served in the Metropolitan Police Force from 1925 to 1937, mainly
in Bethnal Green. He began writing ballet criticism in 1935 and became
a full-time freelance writer in march 1937. He published his first book,
A
Prejudice for Ballet (Methuen) in 1938; in the same year he married
Lillian Turner. He was also active in the organising and management of
Antony Tudor's London Ballet, which was launched in 1938; and he worked
with Peggy van Praagh and Maude Lloyd when the company was revived in 1939-40.
From 1940 to 1945 he served in the Civil Defence (Light Rescue Division)
in the City of Westminster, (Light Rescue workers went into action during
air raids, rescuing as many still-living persons as they could). After
the war he returned to freelance writing, diversified by lecturing (mainly
evening courses in the London area) and by radio and television work; he
was a founder-member of the London freelance branch of the National Union
of Journalists. He published The New Ballet: Kurt Joos and His Work
(Denis Dobson) in 1946. From 1943 to 1956 he was London correspondent for
the American Dance News. He was best known in journalism as dance
critic of The Daily Telegraph, a position he held from 1954 to 1969;
but he also acted as assistant drama critic for the same newspaper from
1957, and throughout his career he was deeply interested in drama and the
theatre generally. He was part author of Ballet Here and Now, published
by Denis Dobson in 1961, and in the same year, President of the Critics'
Circle, London. He travelled extensively in Europe and North America for
the purpose of seeing ballet and other forms of dance, in performance and
in teaching; he visited the U.S.S.R. in 1960. He died of cancer on 7 July,
1969."
