  • The Marianne Moore Collection
    THE MARIANNE MOORE COLLECTION The Marianne Moore Papers The Marianne Moore Library The Marianne Moore Periodicals Collection The Marianne Moore Room ******** The Rosenbach Museum & Library 2010 DeLancey Place Philadelphia PA 19103 (215) 732-1600 www.rosenbach.org THE MARIANNE MOORE COLLECTION General Introduction In 1968, Marianne Craig Moore sold her literary and personal papers to the Rosenbach Museum & Library. In a 1969 codicil to her Will, she added a bequest to the Rosenbach of her apartment furnishings. Upon her death in February 1972, this unusually complete and diverse collection found its permanent home. The collection is remarkable for its inclusiveness. Most visually arresting, her living room (installed on the third floor of the Rosenbach) looks almost exactly as it did in Greenwich Village (at 35 West Ninth Street), her residence from 1965. Books are everywhere. The poet’s personal library, much of it on display in the Moore Room, contains more than 2,000 monographs, plus hundreds of periodicals. Moore retained copies of most of her own books in all their printings. In addition, first appearances of both poems and prose in magazines are present (in the Moore Periodicals Collection), as well as an extensive group of reviews of her work, beginning in 1916. Most of this work is supported by manuscripts in the Moore Papers, from drafts to setting copies of many of her 192 published poems and 72 unpublished poems (whose use is restricted), as well as versions of much of the prose. These in turn, are complemented by extensive working materials. Most informative is a series of commonplace books begun in 1907.

I have fol­ lowed Mr. Hogan's organization and style, with some slight modifications, particularly in the descriptions of books by Robinson. Although an attempt has been made to be as com­ plete as possible, I certainly do not approach Mr. Hogan's work in this respect. While he says (on p. iii of his Bibliography) that his book is "intended primarily for collectors," the present supplement is meant for scholars and critics who would like to know what has been written on the creator of "Luke Havergal" and "Miniver Cheevy" in the past t\venty-two years.

  • John Gould Fletcher - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series John Gould Fletcher - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive John Gould Fletcher(3 January 1886 – 10 May 1950) John Gould Fletcher was an Imagist poet, author and authority on modern painting. He was born in Little Rock, Arkansas to a socially prominent family. After attending Phillips Academy, Andover Fletcher went on to Harvard University from 1903 to 1907, when he dropped out shortly after his father's death. <b>Background</b> Fletcher lived in England for a large portion of his life. While in Europe he associated with <a href="http://www.poemhunter.com/amy-lowell/">Amy Lowell</a>, <a href="http://www.poemhunter.com/ezra-pound/">Ezra Pound</a>, and other Imagist poets, he was one of the six Imagists who adopted the name and stuck to it until their aims were achieved. Fletcher resumed a liaison with Florence Emily “Daisy” Arbuthnot (née Goold) at her house in Kent. She had been married to Malcolm Arbuthnot and Fletcher's adultery with her was the grounds for the divorce. The couple married on July 5, 1916. Their marriage produced no children, but Arbuthnot’s son and daughter from her previous marriage lived with the couple. On January 18, 1936 he married a noted author of children's books, Charlie May Simon. The two of them built "Johnswood", a residence on the bluffs of the Arkansas River outside Little Rock. They traveled frequently, however, to New York for the intellectual stimulation and to the American Southwest for the climate, after Fletcher began to suffer from arthritis.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Colby Quarterly by an authorized editor of Digital Commons @ Colby. Crowder: Robinson's Reputation: Six Observations 220 Colby Library Quarterly ROBINSON'S REPUTATION: SIX OBSERVATIONS By RICHARD CROWDER To judge by statistics, Robinson's popularity was at its peak I .in 1927. Tristram was his book that year. It was reviewed in at least 54 periodicals. After that, he was widely covered as each new volume appeared. Cavender's House received at least 45 notices; Nicodemus, Taliter, and Amaranth, more than 20 each. The excruciating slowness with which acclaim had gathered is a matter of record. Those reviews of Tristram came months after the poet had passed his fifty-seventh birthday. Now, in­ terest in Robinson is increasing, though the pace is slow in comparison with the progress of the current Thoreauvian band­ wagon, say, or with the apotheosis of Emerson or Eliot. The 1890s produced poems by S. Weir Mitchell, Edward Rowland Sill, Richard Watson Gilder, Louise Imogen Guiney, Joaquin Miller, Eugene Field, Paul Laurence Dunbar, Maurice Thompson, John Bannister Tabb, Madison Cawein, Josephine Preston Peabody. These poets, included in a widely used col­ lege anthology of 1929 (Quinn, Baugh, and Howe), show how out of step Robinson was.

(August 2006) Evert Villarreal, B.A., The University of Texas-Pan American; M.A., The University of Texas-Pan American Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. William Bedford Clark Chapter I of this study is an attempt to articulate and understand the factors that have contributed to Carl Sandburg’s declining trajectory, which has led to a reputation that has diminished significantly in the twentieth century. I note that from the outset of his long career of publication – running from 1904 to 1963 – Sandburg was a literary outsider despite (and sometimes because of) his great public popularity though he enjoyed a national reputation from the early 1920s onward. Chapter II clarifies how Carl Sandburg, in various ways, was attempting to re- invent or re-construct American literature.
