Fagles began working on his translation of Homer's Iliad in 1982 and completed it in 1990. This subseries includes early and later typescript drafts with manuscript revisions by both Fagles and Bernard Knox, notes on spelling and pronunciation of the Greek, as well as preliminary versions of the book's notes, introduction, and glossary, and correspondence regarding early drafts of the epic. Following its publication, the book sold many copies and won the Harold Morton Landon Translation Award from the Academy of American Poets, an award from the Translation Center of Columbia University, and the New Jersey Humanities Book Award; files that Fagles kept on these awards are included alongside his working files. Also represented in this subseries are publishing correspondence, contracts, financial papers regarding sales and royalties, and files on book design, promotion, audiobook versions, and reprints, as are materials regarding theatrical performances and stage readings, radio broadcasts, publicity, reviews, lectures, and other public appearances Fagles made in conjunction with his work on the Iliad. Several books of the Iliad were published prior to the completion of the epic in the literary magazines Grand Street and TriQuarterly, which versions are also contained in these files.
