Scope and Content
A collection of letters from authors, critics, and scholars, primarily relating to
lectureships and courses given under the auspices of the English Department. Some of the

the revised edition of C.D. Warner's LIBRARY OF THE WORLD'S BEST LITERATURE. The letters
are written to Ashley H. Thorndike, John W. Cunliffe, George R. Carpenter, Ernest H.
Wright, and Marjorie Nicolson. The correspondents include John Mason Brown, Marchette
Chute, Robert P. Tristram Coffin, Padraic Colum, Bernard DeVoto, T.S. Eliot, John
Erskine, Robert Frost, Otto Jespersen, Howard Mumford Jones, Joyce Kilmer, Ludwig
Lewishon, Amy Lowell, Archibald MacLeish, Thomas Mann, Brander Matthews, H.L. Mencken,
Christopher Morley, Ezra Pound, Theodore Roosevelt, Charles P. Snow, Allen Tate, Robert
Penn Warren, and Edmund Wilson. Two boxes of miscellaneous uncataloged correspondence
cover the years, 1896-1917, and a folder for the 1935 Mark Twain Centennial sponsored by
the English Department. The correspondence is chiefly with Ernest Hunter Wright.
