  • 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supported by manuscripts in the Moore Papers, from drafts to setting copies of many of her 192 published poems and 72 unpublished poems (whose use is restricted), as well as versions of much of the prose.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.

White: A Bibliography of Edwin Arlington Robinson, 1941-1963 Colby Library Quarterly Series VII March 1965 No.1 A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON, 1941-1963 By WILLIAM WHITE HIS bibliography of Edwin Arlington Robinson is a supple­ T ment to Charles Beecher Hogan's "Edwin Arlington Robin­ son: New Bibliographical Notes," The Papers of the Biblio­ graphical Society of America (New York), Vol. XXXV, pp. 115-144, Second Quarter 1941, which itself supplements Mr. Hogan's admirable A Bibliography of Edwin Arlington Robin­ son (New Haven: Yale University Press, 1936). 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.

(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.

According to his good friend William Rose Benet: " Something of the largeness of the early West was in Erskine Scott Wood." True enough, but the rugged, informal. Western dimension in him was tempered by the influence of his youthful reading in classical literature that imparts an urbane and Old World flavor even to his Western verse, Moreover.

  • Universiv Micronlms International
    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfîlming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.
