Elizabeth Robins Papers, 1803-1963

Title: Elizabeth Robins Papers 1803-1963

Elizabeth Robins (1862-1952) was an actress, playwright, prolific novelist and suffragist. American born and educated, Robins spent most of her adult life living and working in England, first in London and later in London and Sussex. The nearly one hundred linear feet of materials which comprise the Elizabeth Robins Papers reflect the many facets of Robins' life. The collection includes diaries, photographs, scrapbooks and ephemera, as well as correspondence with a variety of dynamic personalities, and is a resource not only for studying her life and works, but for examining a wide range of family, social, and political issues. The collection provides insight into American and English theater in the late 19th century, English literary circles, and the women's suffrage and feminist movements in England and America, as well as information on gold mining camps in post Civil War Colorado and turn of the century Alaska. Largely because of her long term friendship with Dr. Octavia Wilberforce, there is information on the movement for improved health care for women and children. The correspondence of Raymond Robins, Elizabeth Robins' brother, adds another dimension to the collection. His letters are an excellent source for the study of Chicago political history, the Settlement House Movement, and Progressive Party politics.

Whitall, James, 1888-1954. Papers of James Whitall [manuscript], 11915-1917.

Title: Papers of James Whitall [manuscript], 11915-1917.

The collection contains the manuscript of an unpublished novel "How literature came to Texas," ca. 1915, written by Whitall under the pseudonym, "Honor Landis." The manuscript contains corrections by George Moore. In addition the collection contains suggestions by Moore on enlivening Chapter 7 of the novel and a contract between Moore and Whitall, 1915 March 24, for the novel's publication. In a series of letters to Whitall, 1915, Moore discusses the novel and their literary collaboration and offers specific advise. He recommends Walter Pater's writing style. In a final letter, 1916 October 10, Whitall expresses disappointment that the novel will not be published and thanks Moore for the insight he has gained. In two additional letters, 1916, 1917, William Heinemann, of Heinemann Publishing House in London, writes to Whitall agreeing to review, and then rejecting, Whitall's manuscript, noting "we are in such appalling straits with regard to paper and other materials for book making that we can only take up things in which we have great confidence."
