Adler, Mortimer Jerome, 1902-2001. Papers, 1939-1944.

Title: Papers, 1939-1944.

The papers of Mortimer J. Adler, 1939-1944, consist of correspondence and manuscripts which document the writing, editing, and publication of two works, How to Read a Book (1940) and How to Think About War and Peace (1943). While the bulk of these papers concern the publication and sales of these two books, there is also correspondence which discusses the editing and criticism of the ideas advocated in the books. The bulk of the correspondence concerning How to Read a Book profiles the production, title selection, legal matters, publicity, and sales of the book. Adler's correspondence with M. Lincoln Schuster and Jerome Weidman, both of Simon and Schuster, and Clifton "Kip" Fadiman reflect personal as well as professional relationships. One letter from Adler to Aaron Copland concerns a permission to quote request. The correspondence found in the second series, How to Think about War and Peace, is between Adler, Clifton Fadiman, and Simon and Schuster, his publishing company. This correspondence provides insight into the intellectual formulation of the book. There is, in addition, correspondence concerning Fadiman's writing and editing of the preface as well as critiques of the book from various scholars. Included here are first drafts, printer's copies and bound manuscripts. Significant correspondents include: Stringfellow Barr, Jacques Barzun, T.T. Bevans, Scott Milross Buchanan, Bennett Cerf, Stuart Chase, Clifton Fadiman, Waldeman Gurian, Quincy Howe, Walter Lippman, Henry R. Luce, Jacques Maritain, John Ulric Nef, M. Lincoln Schuster, Leon Shimfin, Richard Simon, Jerome Weidman, and E.B. White.
