Irita Taylor Van Doren Papers 3 Scope and Content Note The papers of Irita Taylor Van Doren (1891-1966) span the years 1920-1967. The collection consists of correspondence, originals of writings by various authors, and a large file of material relating to Wendell L. Willkie, especially his 1942 world tour and drafts of his book, One World. The papers are organized into the following series: General Correspondence; Special Correspondence; Speech, Article, Poetry, and Book Review File; Wendell L. Willkie File; Miscellany; and Oversize. Most of Van Doren's correspondence is with American and foreign authors with whom she became acquainted during the years 1926-1963, when she served as editor of the New York Herald Tribune Sunday book review section. The letters pertain primarily to various author's preparation of articles and book reviews and to the planning of the book and author luncheons which were sponsored by the New York Herald Tribune and the American Booksellers Association. Van Doren selected the speakers and presided over the luncheons which were held about eight times each year. Among the outstanding literary figures represented in her correspondence are Samuel Hopkins Adams, Stephen Vincent Benét, Van Wyck Brooks, Witter Bynner, James Branch Cabell, Willa Cather, Walter de la Mare, John Dos Passos, Theodore Dreiser, E. M. Forster, Sinclair Lewis, W. Somerset Maugham, Erich Maria Remarque, and E. B. White. There is a considerable amount of correspondence from the Southern novelist Ellen Anderson Gholson Glasgow and from Stuart Pratt Sherman, who preceded Van Doren as editor of the New York Herald Tribune book review section. In addition to correspondence, there is a file of original manuscripts of various authors' speeches, articles, poems, and book reviews. An important segment of the papers pertains to the American industrialist and political figure Wendell L. Willkie. Van Doren became a close friend and advisor to Willkie and assisted him in writing One World. The Wendell L. Willkie File in the papers relates to his 1942 world tour, which was the basis for One World, as well as an extensive collection of his speeches and articles and drafts of One World. In the Special Correspondence series is an original, signed letter of President Franklin D. Roosevelt to Joseph Stalin, August 22, 1942, apparently carried by Willkie to Moscow but not delivered during his meeting with the Soviet leader in September 1942. Arrangement of the Papers The collection is arranged in six series: • General Correspondence, 1920-1966 • Special Correspondence, 1938-1967 • Speech, Article, Poetry, and Book Review File, 1926-1964 • Wendell L.

  • Book Reviews
    BOOK REVIEWS Benjamin Franklin, Pennsylvania, and the First Nations: The Treaties of 1736–62. Edited by SUSAN KALTER. (Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 2006. xiv, 453 pp. Illustrations, notes, glossary, index. $45.) Between 1736 and 1762, Benjamin Franklin published thirteen treaties made between Pennsylvania and the Six Nations Iroquois and their native allies, including the Lenapes and the Shawnees. At these treaty negotiations, leaders from different cultures gathered to determine vital issues of war and peace, regulate intercultural exchange, and seek justice from one another. William Penn’s secretary, James Logan, noted that the 1736 treaty talks in Philadelphia were conducted “in the presence and hearing of some Thousands of our People” (p. 56). Treaty negotiations were public spectacles in an age without many large- scale events. Of enormous importance in the eighteenth century, the treaties were largely forgotten in the nineteenth century, only to be rediscovered in the early twentieth century as a compelling and uniquely American literary form. In 1938, Julian P.Boyd republished the treaties in a single volume with an introduction by Carl Van Doren. According to Van Doren, the “stately folios” printed by Franklin were “after two hundred years the most original and engaging documents of their century in America” (Indian Treaties Printed by Benjamin Franklin, vii). Boyd reproduced the treaties in facsimile on legal-sized paper, in a beautiful edition of five hundred numbered copies. These large, unwieldy, and expensive books have rested in the special collections of major research libraries, often with their pages uncut and unread. This new edition by Susan Kalter will make these important documents much more accessible and available.

So dominant had become the demands of a journalism that catered to a flourishing middle-class public de­ termined to achieve an easy method to "culture," that the literary critic of this period, the eighties and nineties, devised an artificial tradition by which he could protect himself against the democratic so­ ciety with which he was acutely dissatisfied. This tradition was, therefore, conservative in nature. Its values, based on customary taste and training, were selected primarily as a refuge against both the con­ temporary American society

  • “Some Men Ride on Such Space”: Olson's Call Me
    49th Parallel, Vol. 31 (Spring 2013) Tally ISSN: 1753-5794 (online) “Some men ride on such space”: Olson’s Call Me Ishmael, the Melville Revival, and the American Baroque Robert T. Tally Jr. * Texas State University Call Me Ishmael, Charles Olson’s 1947 study of Herman Melville and Moby-Dick, is an anomalous book. On the one hand, it is a foundational text of Melville Studies, establishing Melville as an American Shakespeare and helping to solidify Melville’s elevated position in a canon of American literature.1 On the other hand, Call Me Ishmael also offers a bizarre recasting of Melville’s entire oeuvre, transforming the image of the nineteenth-century writer at a moment in which early practitioners of American Studies were consolidating a specifically “national imaginary” with respect to literature and history. Call Me Ishmael is simultaneously a key document of an emerging American Studies and a proleptic critique of the nationalist project of the disciplinary field. Blurring the lines between literary artist and scholarly critic, Olson sought to rethink Melville’s leviathan by reimagining Melville’s own imaginative reshaping of the world system in * Robert T. Tally Jr. is an associate professor of English at Texas State University. He is the author of Melville, Mapping and Globalization: Literary Cartography in the American Baroque Writer (2009), Kurt Vonnegut and the American Novel: A Postmodern Iconography (2011), Spatiality (2012), and Utopia in the Age of Globalization: Space, Representation, and the World System (2013).

    Contemporary American Novelists (1900-1920) by Carl Van Doren Contemporary American Novelists (1900-1920) by Carl Van Doren Produced by Ted Garvin, Linda Cantoni, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team. CONTEMPORARY AMERICAN NOVELISTS 1900-1920 BY CARL VAN DOREN 1922 To FREDA KIRCHWEY page 1 / 161 PREFACE _The American Novel_, published last year, undertook to trace the progress of a literary type in the United States from its beginnings to the end of the nineteenth century; _Contemporary American Novelists_ undertakes to study the type as it has existed during the first two decades of the twentieth century. Readers of both volumes may note that in this later volume criticism has tended to supplant history. Only in writing of dead authors can the critic feel that any considerable portion of his task is done when he has arranged them in what he thinks their proper categories and their true perspective. In the case of living authors he has regularly to remember that he works with shifting materials, with figures whose dimensions and importance may be changed by growth, with persons who may desert old paths for new, reveal unsuspected attributes, increase or fade with the mere revolutions of time. All he can expect to do in dealing with any current type as fluid as the novel, is, seizing upon it at some specific moment, to examine the intentions and successes of outstanding or typical individuals and to make the most accurate report possible concerning them. Whatever general tendency there may be ought to appear from his examination. The general tendency appearing most clearly among the novelists here studied is, of course, the drift of naturalism: initiated a full generation ago by several restless spirits, of whom E.W.

"Symbolical Inter- pretations of Moby Dick. 11 In my study of the various interpretations attributed to Herman Melville's novel, Moby Dick, I have become aware of the great confusion among critics of literary symbolism and the problems involved. The facts that so much has been written on Moby Dick and that so many varied interpretations have resulted seem to indicate that Moby Dick offers a challenge to the reader and that there is a deeper and more profound meaning behind this adventure story than meets the eye. It is safe to say that no American novel has stimulat ed so much thinking in the realm of literary criticism as Moby Dick.
