The Robert Penn Warren Collection at Emory University: A Personal Account RONALD SCHUCHARD The first seminar paper that I wrote in graduate school was on Robert Penn Warren’s Blackberry Winter. I don’t know what the professor thought of my essay, for the only written remark was “This has always been one of my favorite stories.” Perhaps the fact that I did not ruin the story for him was meant to be sufficient response. My own love of Blackberry Winter led me to teach Warren’s stories, poems, and novels in introductory courses as a teaching assistant, but when I began to write my dissertation on T.S. Eliot I had not yet discovered Warren’s great admiration for his work. When I became an assistant professor at Emory University, my colleague, the late Floyd C. Watkins, had just finished a book on Eliot, The Flesh and the Word, and had turned his critical interests toward Warren.
