[Description and date of item], [Box and folder number], Literary manuscripts collection, 1666-1990, Free Library of Philadelphia, Rare Book Department.
|
This is a collection of manuscripts obtained by the Free Library of Philadelphia from various donations. The majority of the collection was donated by Philadelphia book collectors, Mr. and Mrs. Richard A. Gimbel and William McIntire Elkins. The collection has an even mix of American and European authors. Although the majority of the authors are represented with only a few pieces of work, eight authors are better represented. These include: American authors James Branch Cabell (1879-1958), Ezra Pound (1885-1972), Agnes Repplier (1855-1950), and Mark Twain (1835-1910); English novelists Joseph Conrad (1857-1924) and William Makepeace Thackeray (1811-1863); Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950); and Scottish novelist Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894).

This collection contains letters, manuscript fragments, autographs, and other documents by famous authors. The material dates from 1666 to 1990. The bulk of the collection consists of letters written by the authors to various friends, acquaintances, editors, and critics. There is an even mix of American and European authors present. The most well represented author is James Branch Cabell with thirty-six different items, second is George Bernard Shaw with thirty-one. The nature of the collection makes the possible uses for the collection as a whole limited. However, because of the historical importance of the writers, the likelihood that any individual item could be of interest to researchers is high. Of particular interest are the complete drafts of Joseph Conrad’s "A Duel," a nearly complete draft of
Victory, and the textual corrections made by Tennyson in his
Poems, chiefly lyrical and
Enoch Arden.
