Abstract
Consists of various typescript drafts, revisions, and galley proofs for three published novels by American novelist W. M. Spackman.
Collection Description & Creator Information
- Scope and Contents
The collection consists of various typescript drafts, revisions, and galley proofs for three published novels by Spackman (Class of 1927): Heyday (1953), An Armful of Warm Girl (1977), and A Presence with Secrets (1980). A small amount of correspondence with agents and publishers concerning these works is also present. Spackman's novel Heyday, as he admitted in the Princeton Alumni Weekly (Nov. 21, 1952), concerns ". . . what happened to the Class of 1927, in the persons of half a dozen imaginary but typical Princetonians."
