iii Biographical Note

Arnold T. Schwab, who was born in Los Angeles, CA in 1922, received his A.B. from UCLA, where he was a Phi Beta Kappa graduate, and his MA and PHD from Harvard University. For most of his career, he was professor of English at California State University, Long Beach until his retirement in 1980. He is the author of numerous scholarly articles, lectures and poems including “James Gibbons Huneker, Critic of the Seven Arts” published by Stanford University Press in 1963 and “Canadian poets : vital facts on English-writing poets born from 1730 through 1910" published by Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia in 1989 and several articles on Edward and Marian MacDowell and the MacDowell Colony.

iv Scope and Content Note

The Arnold T. Schwab Collection is an archive of materials related to the life and work of Marian Nevins MacDowell, wife of composer Edward MacDowell (1860-1908) and founder of the MacDowell Colony in Peterborough, . The collection was given to the Library by Professor Arnold T. Schwab of Westminster, California and it reflects his longtime interest in the MacDowell legacy. This gift joins the Music Division’s Edward and Marian MacDowell Collection and the Manuscript Division’s Marian MacDowell Collection and MacDowell Colony Collections thereby making the Library the foremost center for study in the life of these two important icons of American cultural history.

Marian Griswold Nevins, who was born in 1857, was an accomplished pianist when she met Edward MacDowell in Germany where she had intended to study with Clara Schuman, wife of composer Robert Schumann. Instead, Nevins began her study with MacDowell and eventually married him. After spending time in Europe, the couple returned to the settling in Boston and then in where Edward MacDowell joined the faculty of Columbia University to establish its music department. Edward MacDowell was considered to be the most prominent and internationally recognized American composer of the era.

In 1896, the MacDowells bought a 75-acre farm in Peterborough, New Hampshire; a place that they hoped would be a source of inspiration for the composer. A decline in Edward MacDowell’s health, however, prompted them to transform the farm into a place where creative artists could find freedom to concentrate on their work; a goal that would consume Marian MacDowell until her death in 1956.

Schwab collected these materials in preparation for a biography of Marian Nevins MacDowell, a work that was never completed. Included in the collection is a large cache of MacDowell-related correspondence: letters, mostly photocopies, to and from Edward MacDowell dating from 1876-1904, letters, mostly photocopies, to and from Marian Nevins MacDowell dating from 1884 to 1956, bulking in the period 1929-1955, and others assembled from a variety of sources. Oftentimes, Schwab would stamp the name of the original source or home repository on the reverse of the first page of the letter. In the Arnold T. Schwab series of correspondence there are copies of Schwab’s letters to various friends and acquaintances of the MacDowells and MacDowell Colonists along with the responses. Oftentimes, these materials will contain supporting documents in addition to correspondence. And, in more than one occasion, the name on the correspondence folder refers to the subject of the correspondence and not to the correspondent him/herself. Some notable correspondents include: Carl Carmer, , Mabel Daniels, Marjorie Chandler Hazard, George Kendall, Nina Maud Richardson, Cecil Smith, Conrad Spohnholz, Louise Talma and many others.

A large group of index cards organized by various subjects and, apparently, gleaned from the above- described correspondence, capsulize various aspects of Schwab’s research. In addition to photographs of the MacDowells and some of their acquaintances, there are a a group of scrapbooks (1906-1988), assembled by Schwab and organized by date.

Photocopies of materials collected by Schwab from the Music Division’s Edward and Marian MacDowell Collection and the Manuscript Division’s MacDowell Collections were not retained. In addition, a reel-to-reel tape of an interview conducted by Emerson Meyers with Mary Howe and Marian MacDowell was transferred to Motion Picture, Broadcast and Recorded Sound Division of the Library of Congress.
