SOME ONLINE CONTENT
This series, which comprises the majority of the collection, consists of Joseph Frank's personal and professional correspondence with various writers, academics, poets, friends, and family members from the 1940s through the early 2000s but primarily from the 1950s through the 1980s. Most correspondence is incoming, though occasional files also contain outgoing correspondence from Joseph Frank and his wife, Marguerite Straus Frank. A small group of family correspondence between members of Frank's family is also included following the alphabetical correspondence, including condolence letters addressed to Marguerite Straus Frank following Joseph Frank's death. Of note is a significant group of letters to Joseph Frank from poet Elizabeth Bishop from the 1950s and early 1960s describing her writing and her experiences while living in Brazil with her partner Lota de Macedo Soares. Correspondence files from poets Yves Bonnefoy and Allen Tate are also sizable. While most of Frank's correspondence is in English, a significant amount is also in French, with smaller quantities in German and Russian.

The "cuadernos" consist of bound notebooks in which Rossi recorded daily entries concerning intellectual and personal matters. In them Rossi comments on ideas, works of art, and his writing activities, but also on domestic activities, his health, social engagements, friends, and the like. These diaries paint a robust biographical portrait of Rossi, but also depict Rossi's literary and social milieu in great detail, which will be invaluable to researchers interested in the cadre of intellectuals who contributed to the literary magazine Vuelta, among other projects. Along with the original handwritten notebooks, there are typed surrogates spanning the time period 1993-2003. The "Noveno Cuaderno," (Box 2, Folder 2) and its typed surrogates (Box 4, Folder 1) have been restricted until June 15, 2022.

This series represents Rossi's scholarly and literary output over a span of nearly five decades. Among the most compelling materials are a group of notebooks which he called "Cuadernos," in which he recorded almost daily diary entries over a thirty-year period. Other materials include drafts of writing, notes, and photocopies of published articles.

The correspondence files reveal the depth and breadth of Rossi's involvement in a variety of intellectual circles in Mexico and abroad. While the format may have changed over the years from typed or handwritten letters to faxes and emails, the regularity and discipline with which Rossi corresponds with his friends and associates does not at all diminish. If anything, it even flourishes in later years.
