Finding Aid for the Fernand 603 1 Baldensperger papers, 1904-1945 Descriptive Summary Title: Fernand Baldensperger papers Date (inclusive): 1904-1945 Collection number: 603 Creator: Baldensperger, Fernand, 1871-1958 Extent: 6 boxes (3 linear ft.) Abstract: Fernand Baldensperger (1871-1958) was a literary scholar, author (under the pseudonym Fernand Baldenne), and professor who contributed greatly to the field of Comparative Literature. In addition to teaching at the Universities of Nancy (1884-1900), Lyon (1900-1910), and Paris (1910-1935) in France, he taught at Columbia University (1917-1919), the University of Strasbourg (1919-1923), Harvard University (1935-1940), and the University of California-Los Angeles (1940-1945). Baldensperger cofounded the Revue de littérature comparée, and he wrote numerous scholarly texts on Goethe, Balzac, Alfred de Vigny, and various French and comparative literary topics. The collection consists of scholarly and World War II-related print and manuscript materials, as well as correspondence. Scholarly materials include printed texts by Baldensperger and others (often annotated and/or with inscriptions), typed drafts of Baldensperger's texts, extensive manuscript research notes, and a presumably unpublished typed manuscript. War-related materials include government documents from Giessen, Germany and a variety of printed pamphlets. Correspondence relates to both scholarly and personal matters.

UCLA Catalog Record ID UCLA Catalog Record ID: 4230350 Biography Fernand Baldensperger (1871-1958) was an eminent literary scholar, author, and professor of Comparative Literature. He was born in Vosges, France, and for most of his career he taught at the University of Nancy (1884-1900), the University of Lyon (1900-1910), and the University of Paris (1910-1935). During his time at the University of Paris, he also served as a visiting professor at Columbia University (1917-1919), and he taught at the University of Strasbourg (1919-1923). From 1935-1940 Baldensperger was professor of Comparative Literature at Harvard University, where he was chairperson of the department, and from 1940-1945 he taught at the University of California-Los Angeles. Baldensperger contributed greatly to the field of comparative literary studies and cofounded the Revue de littérature comparée in 1921. His works include Goethe en France: étude de littérature comparée (1904), Le mouvement des idées dans l'émigration française, 1789-1815 (1924), L'avant-guerre dans la littérature française, 1900-1914 (1919), Orientations étrangères chez Honoré de Balzac (1927), La littérature française entre les deux guerres, 1919-1939 (1941), and La critique et l'histoire littéraires en France, au dix-neuvième et au début du vingtième siècles (1945). In addition, Baldensperger wrote and published literary texts under the pseudonym Fernand Baldenne.

Finding Aid for the Fernand 603 2 Baldensperger papers, 1904-1945 Scope and Content The collection is divided into four parts: official documents from Giessen (Germany), printed materials, correspondence, and research materials. The documents from Giessen are comprised of official marriage applications, marriage loan applications, and health authority documents under the Nazi government. (They range in date from 1936 to 1942, though most items are from 1942.) The documents include names of applicants and requests for information from other cities as well. Printed materials in the collection include Fernand Baldensperger's annotated copy of Gustave Lanson's Manuel bibliographique de la littérature française moderne, 1500-1900 (published 1911), as well as numerous literary pamphlets and essays (mostly reprints from journals) and political pamphlets and essays (mostly concerning World War II). The majority of the pamphlets were published during the first half of the 1940s, and many pamphlets contain inscriptions from the authors to Baldensperger. In addition, the collection contains two typed manuscripts (with corrections) of Baldensperger's La critique et l'histoire littéraires en France, au dix-neuvième et au début du vingtième siècles, as well as an additional (and probably unpublished) manuscript. Also included are various print materials from the early 1940s related to scholarly conferences and societies. The correspondence, primarily from the first half of the 1940s, pertains to both scholarly and personal matters, and it includes letters regarding the Institute of World Affairs (1940, 1941) and the publication of Baldensperger's La critique et l'histoire littéraires en France, au dix-neuvième et au début du vingtième siècles. Research materials include typed and manuscript timelines of literary history, corrections and additions to Baldensperger's works, and manuscript notes (occasionally with printed and typed articles) pertaining to his published works, works-in-progress, and a wide variety of literary subjects (various European literatures, Goethe, Balzac, Stendhal, Whitman, philosophy, poetry, etc.). Box 1 contains Giessen, Germany official documents. Boxes 2 and 3 contain printed materials. Box 2 includes Fernand Baldensperger's annotated copy of Gustave Lanson's Manuel bibliographique de la littérature française moderne, 1500-1900, as well as numerous literary pamphlets. Box 3 includes political pamphlets (mostly concerning France and World War II), more literary pamphlets, newspaper clippings, and conference materials. In both boxes 2 and 3, multiple pamphlets by the same author are grouped together, and the smaller pamphlets are in folders. Box 3 also includes Baldensperger's two typed manuscripts (of varying lengths) for La critique et l'histoire littéraires en France, au dix-neuvième et au début du vingtième siècles. Box 4 contains a typed manuscript of a presumably unpublished work, Fernand Baldensperger's correspondence (with multiple letters from the same author grouped together), and research materials (mainly typed and manuscript literary history timelines). Boxes 5 and 6 contain research materials. Many of the materials had been originally grouped together (according to subject) by folding papers together. This grouping, where apparent, has been maintained in the collection, with the groups indicated both by folders and dividers within folders.
