Edmund Keeley papers, 1947-2008.
Consists of Keeley's early writings as a student (Princeton, Class of 1948); bound and loose drafts and galleys of novels; short fiction; nonfiction books; articles, essays, introductions, and reviews; awards and speeches; translations of modern Greek poetry; and works edited by Keeley. The writings include the following titles: "The Libation" (1958), "The Gold-hatted Lover" (1961), "Modern Greek Poetry" (1983), "School for Pagan Lovers" (1993); translations of C. P. Cavafy's "Passions and Ancient Days" (1971) and "Collected Poems" (1975), Giannēs Ritsos' "Ritsos in Parentheses" (1979), and Odysseus Elytēs' "Selected Poems" (1981). There is literary, academic, organizational, and personal correspondence with internationally-known colleagues and personal friends, such as R. P. Blackmur, Babette Deutsch, Kimon Friar, Carolyn Kiser, William Meredith, W. S. Merwin, Joyce Carol Oates, Giannēs Ritsos, George Seferis, Angelos Sikelianos, Wallace Stegner, Charles Scribner, and Willard Thorp; and with organizations such as the American Farm School, the Modern Greek Studies Association, and the Poetry Society of America, as well as many others. Faculty material includes translation workshops Keeley taught at Columbia, Princeton, and the State University of Iowa; alumni, committee, and interdepartmental correspondence within various programs at Princeton; and student papers, course outlines, lecture notes, course-related forms, and computerized student grades. The P.E.N. American Center files primarily reflect the years of Keeley's presidency (1992-1993), but span from 1969 to 1990 and include his membership on the executive board in 1980. They include board meeting minutes, memos, correspondence, and P.E.N. international congress material. Also included are Keeley's scrapbook items, miscellaneous notes, manuscripts of translations by others, audiotapes of music by Mikis Theodorakis and readings of poems by Giannes Ritsos, as well as printed matter. The series of additional papers was acquired from Keeley after his original gift, and includes manuscripts, correspondence, faculty material, P.E.N. American Center materials, and other materials that compliment many of the existing series.
