Ford, Charles Henri, 1913-. Charles Henri Ford Papers, 1928-1981.

Title: Charles Henri Ford Papers, 1928-1981.

The Charles Henri Ford papers consist of typescript and holograph manuscripts, correspondence, postcards, clippings, photographs, financial documents, contracts, invitations, page proofs, prospectuses, journals, and diaries. The Works series contains examples of Ford's published and unpublished poetry, theatrical work, and prose. His published work includes a typescript fragment of ABC'S and typescripts of THE HALF-THOUGHTS, THE DISTANCES OF PAIN, OM KRISHNA I: SPECIAL EFFECTS, THE OVERTURNED LAKE, SLEEP IN A NEST OF FLAMES, and THE YOUNG AND EVIL. Ford's unpublished work includes typescripts of "The Acts," "Confessions of a Freak," "Denmark Vesey," "I Will Be What I Am," "The Labyrinth," "Let's Get Out of Here," "The Poet," "A Record of Myself," "Thirty Variations," "Unhappy Train," and "A World of Women." There is material from an unpublished issue of View, devoted to theater. The Correspondence series includes both outgoing and incoming correspondence. Significant correspondents include Conrad Aiken, W.H. Auden, Djuna Barnes, Sir Cecil Beaton, Karen Blixen, Paul Bowles, Kay Boyle, Ronnie Burk, William S. Burroughs, Jean Cocteau, Joseph Cornell, Leonardo Cremonini, E.E. Cummings, Leonor Fini, Gertrude Ford, Ruth Ford, Allen Ginsberg, Ted Joans, Ray Johnson, Philip Lamantia, James Laughlin, Mary McCarthy, Gerard Malanga, Carmen Marino, Henry Miller, Marianne Moore, Edouard Roditi, Dame Edith Sitwell, Gertrude Stein, Wallace Stevens, Allen Tate, Pavel Tchelitchew, Parker Tyler, Carl Van Vechten, William Carlos Williams, Donald Windham, Bill Wolak, Kathleen Tankersley Young, and Stark Young. The Miscellaneous series includes correspondence to Charles L.

The Journals/Diaries series consists almost exclusively of the journals and diaries of Ford from 1932 until 1967, with a few lacunae in the chronological coverage. They chronicle the literary and artistic communities in New York City and Paris and Ford's own creative ambitions and endeavors. Among the important figures mentioned are Kenneth Anger, W.H. Auden, George Balanchine, Djuna Barnes, Cecil Beaton, Paul Bowles, William Burroughs, John Cage, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Jean Cocteau, Merce Cunningham, Isak Dinesen, Max Ernst, Leonor Fini, Jean Genet, Peggy Guggenheim, Lincoln Kirstein, Mary McCarthy, Gerard Malanga, Ned Rorem, Edith and Osbert Sitwell, Gertrude Stein, Yves Tanguy, Allen Tate, Parker Tyler, Andy Warhol, Orson Welles, William Carlos Williams, and Stark Young. Ford also documents his private life, including his relationships with his sister, the actress Ruth Ford, her husband Zachary Scott, and the painter Pavel Tchelitchew. Ford records his struggles to force himself to work, the difficulties of finding publishers for his work, his experiences in publishing Blues and View, his experimentation in the visual arts, surrealism in the arts, and playwriting. He also chronicles his experiences while living abroad and in the United States, including impressions of Paris, Athens and the Greek islands, Rome and other cities in Italy, New York City, and the American South. There is frank discussion of homosexuality and the experiences of a gay man in the twentieth century. A later accession includes typescript poems by the poets Ronnie Burk and Bill Wolak.

Alfred A. Knopf, Inc. Records. Series VII., Other Department Files, 1916-1996 (bulk 1943-1969).

Title: Records. Series VII., Other Department Files, 1916-1996 (bulk 1943-1969).

This series contains selected files created outside of the Editorial Department, which dominates the rest of the collection. The series contains only two boxes of materials from the Sales and College Departments, with the great majority of the files originating from the Publicity Department. The Publicity Department files chronicle the activities and concerns of editors, authors, administrators, and publicity department personnel in the struggle to market their titles and bring authors and the company to international attention and acclaim. A vast selection of materials, including artwork, biographical information, book jackets, correspondence, clippings, memos, photographs, publication and planning forms, and reviews, among others, combine to give the user a comprehensive view of the promotional process. Correspondence in the Publicity and Permanent Title files is often routine, containing materials such as mass mailings of introductions, booksellers' comments, and requests for review copies from individuals, organizations, newspapers and journals. However, some files offer exchanges between authors, editors, and book designers, primarily concerning promotional strategies, itineraries, and editing or revisions of manuscripts. The Publicity Department subseries is also rich with photographs (some with accompanying negatives), including portraits, publicity stills, and candid snapshots. Renowned photographers such as Henri Cartier Bresson, E. O. Hoppe, Edward Steichen, and Carl Van Vechten contribute to the photo documentation of the collection, capturing such Knopf dignitaries as Willa Cather, John Hersey, Thomas Mann, H. L. Mencken, and many others. Additionally, this subseries holds thousands of snapshots and portraits of authors, colleagues, and family members taken by Alfred A. Knopf, an avid amateur photographer. Author questionnaires are found scattered throughout the Publicity subseries, but also in an alphabetically arranged collection of files of the biographical forms dating 1929-1965 (bulk 1948-1955). Valuable for their autobiographical content, the questionnaires also offer descriptions of an author's work. While some forms give scant information, others have been filled out in great detail, providing manuscript descriptions, author ideas for publicity, target audiences, previous awards, honors and publications, occupations, and family information. Other files in the Publicity Department subseries were created by publicity managers W. T. Loverd (ca. 1968-1970) and Jane Becker Friedman. Because Friedman advanced to Publicity Director, and also Vice President and Associate Publisher, her files reflect a lengthier time span (ca. 1966-1988), and a more narrow focus, especially in the later years, on the promotion of cookbooks. The Sales Department subseries contains the files of senior salesman Leon Anderson, focusing on his activities as a member of the Knopf sales department (1946-1960). The internal correspondence in this subseries is rich with encouragement, sales strategy, and advice from Knopf administrators such as Treasurer Joseph Lesser, Alfred and Blanche Knopf, and Sales Manager Alfred A. (Pat) Knopf, Jr. Also chronicled is Pat Knopf's resignation from the firm. The correspondence continues through Anderson's resignation in January 1960 and includes personal letters from Alfred Knopf as late as 1970. The College Department files contain correspondence and memos primarily concerning employee qualifications, expectations and duties, and suggestions for manuscripts. The file for the head of the College Department, John T. Hawes, includes ledger sheets containing comparisons of expected and actual sales, new title lists, and sales projections.

Alfred A. Knopf, Inc. Records. : Series I., General Correspondence, 1922-1977 (bulk 1946-1966).

Title: Records. : Series I., General Correspondence, 1922-1977 (bulk 1946-1966).

This series consists of the central editorial files of the Alfred A. Knopf, Inc. Company. It contains the correspondence for the day-to-day operations of the firm, including letters from foreign publishers seeking publication and translation rights, contacts with young writers, inquiries from aspiring authors, correspondence on legal matters such as copyright, letters from literary agents, and requests for information about writers. The General Correspondence series also contains correspondence between editors and Knopf authors, many files of which follow the creation of a book from the original idea to its final publication. Taken as a whole, this series offers a comprehensive overview of the activities of the editorial offices. The main strength of the series derives from the individual files devoted to writers published by Knopf. These files typically reveal the writer's first connection with the company, which might have occurred when the firm contacted the writer expressing their interest in her or his work, or when the author submitted a manuscript. Files follow the correspondence between the editor and writer, revealing the relationship between the two as the manuscript progresses, continues once the book is published, and shows how the book is received and how well it sells. Especially interesting is the way the files reveal how an editor would guide the creative process, as she or he suggests changes, additions, or deletions. While the vast majority of files contain correspondence only, some files relate to the inner workings of the firm. These are labelled by department or, more often, by employee name; the most significant are for Blanche and Alfred A. Knopf, and can be found in most years. The files rely on the use of documentation in the form of internal memoranda that were sent from editors and employees of other departments to update the Knopfs on current activities. Folders titled with the name of a trip taken by Alfred or Blanche Knopf in a specific year often include narrative descriptions of the visit, including detailed lists of publishers, scouts, literary agents, and writers with whom they met. Further, information about writers is also available in these folders. For example, internal memos about the rejection of John Knowles' A Separate Peace are in one of Blanche Knopf's European trip folders. Other employee named files, like those of Secretary and later President William A. Koshland, give an overview of the firm's administrative history.
