  • Nota Bene News from the Yale Library
    Spring 2005 Volume XIX, Number 1 Nota Bene News from the Yale Library The Lost Papers of Louise Bryant The personal papers of the pioneering foreign correspon- dent Louise Bryant arrived unexpectedly at the Sterling Memorial Library at Yale University. Thought to be lost, the papers contain such treasures as Bryant’s notes on what she witnessed in Russia during the communist revolution of 1917 and several poems written by the young playwright Eugene O’Neill, apparently never before published. Louise Bryant lived a remarkable life. Born in 1885, she was one of the earliest women to become a star foreign correspondent. Her reporting on the Russian Revolution appeared in hundreds of American news- papers and, for a brief period, she was one of the lead- ing authorities in the United States on the new Soviet government, publishing two books on the subject. She knew personally and interviewed many of the leading figures of revolutionary Russia including Vladimir Lenin, Leon Trotsky, and Alexandr Kerensky. Bryant filled her personal life with similarly noteworthy individuals. Her second husband was the radical journalist John Reed; her third husband was William C. Bullitt, the first American ambassador to the Soviet Union and later ambassador to France; and she had a short but 1919 intense affair with Eugene O’Neill. Poster advertising a lecture by Louise Bryant, The Bryant papers came to Sterling Memorial Library along with the papers of William C. Bullitt as part of a deposit by Anne Moen Bullitt, the daughter of Bryant and Bullitt. Biographers of Bryant believed her personal Lloyd Richards papers at the papers to be lost, but when the boxes arrived, archi- Beinecke Library vists were astonished by the quantity and quality of the materials relating to Louise Bryant.
