Burke, Kenneth, 1897-1993. Kenneth Burke Letters to Lily Batterham Burke, 1918-1933 (bulk 1919, 1922-1929).

Title: Kenneth Burke Letters to Lily Batterham Burke, 1918-1933 (bulk 1919, 1922-1929).

The collection consists mostly of letters written by Kenneth Duva Burke to his first wife Lily Batterham Burke. The collection includes 166 letters (or notes) from Burke to Lily and 1 letter to his daughter Dutchie (as well as another note to her included on a letter to Lily). The collection offers a unique opportunity to see Burke's life and work within the modernist culture of the 1920s. Topics of the letters vary from Burke's accounts of daily matters such as finances, commuting, Andover, N.J., and family life, to reports about his reading, writing, translations, activities, and meetings with friends and editors. The letters from 1919 were written before Burke and Lily married. Many of the other letters were written during weekdays while Burke worked in New York City and Lily maintained their home in Andover. A few others were occasioned by short separations, as when Lily visited her family in Asheville, North Carolina, or Burke took a job with Scofield Thayer in Martha's Vineyard or researched drugs in Washington, D. C. for Colonel Arthur Woods. In addition to Burke's letters to Lily the collection also includes a few letters written to Burke. Letters from Lily to Kenneth Burke include a signed and, likely, unsigned note. Also included is a letter to Burke from the poet William Carlos Williams, and additionally letters from modernist artist Carl Sprinchorn (1 letter), outdoorsman and artist Jim Butler (1 letter), and Ellen Thayer, assistant editor at The Dial (1 letter). The publishing house Harcourt Brace & Co. is represented by Harrison Smith (3 letters, 1 note) and Louise Bonino (2 letters). Also included are a short letter to Burke from builder Edgar Reed and a letter likely from Lily's mother, Eleanor Ann Batterham. Two additional letters possibly from Eleanor Ann Batterham to Burke and Lily are also discovered in the collection. Other correspondents include "Gladys" (a member of Burke's family, 1 letter), and Lily's sisters Edith Batterham (1 letter), Elizabeth Batterham (3 letters), Margaret Batterham Waters (1 letter), and Virginia Batterham (1 letter). Two receipts are also present.
