Collection Overview
Collection Description & Creator Information
- Scope and Contents
The Author Files contain files relating to authors, poets, artists, translators, editors, intellectuals, journalists, literary agents, and other figures from the world of post-WWII belles lettres. Many, but not all, of the authors represented here have submitted work to, been published in, or had business with The Hudson Review. Most author files contain correspondence including incoming letters, notes, cards, and telegrams, and often carbon copies of outgoing letters from the editors, consulting editors, and other representatives of The Hudson Review. These files may also include manuscripts, offprints, artwork, internal forms and memoranda, clippings, permission requests, documents pertaining to copyright assignment, reader's reports, galley and corrected proof pages, and other materials relevant to each file subject's connection with The Hudson Review and/or its editors. Some of the most important writers, thinkers, and critics of the twentieth century are represented in these files, including Saul Bellow, Sir Isaiah Berlin, Kenneth Burke, E. M. Cioran, T. S. Eliot, Robert Graves, Wyndham Lewis, Thomas Mann, Marshall McLuhan, and Saint-John Perse. Poets are particularly well represented with files available (all containing correspondence) for W. H. Auden, Alan Ginsberg, W. S. Graham, Jorge Guillen, Robert Lowell, Hugh MacDiarmid. Marianne Moore, Adrienne Rich, Theodore Roethke, Anne Sexton, Wallace Stevens, and William Carlos Williams. Some of the most extensive files in this series are those concerning post-WWII American poets such as A. R. Ammons, Wendell Berry, Hayden Carruth (including several hundred letters), Dana Gioia, James Merrill, W. S. Merwin, and Louis Simpson.
