Sullivan, T. R. (Thomas Russell), 1849-1916. Papers, 1856-1916.

Title: Papers, 1856-1916.

The first box of this collection contains Sullivan's correspondence, arranged in alphabetical order by writer. Most of the letters are from his personal friends and authors and actors with whom he became acquainted during the course of his literary career. The majority of the letters date from the 1880s to 1915. Correspondents include Richard Mansfield, whose letters pertain to the plays Sullivan was writing for him; Meredith Nicholson (1866-1947), author, with copies of his poetry; John Boyle O'Reilly (1844-1890), poet and editor; Edward Robinson (1858-1931), administrator of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts and director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, with most of his letters describing activities at both museums; Joseph Linden Smith (1863-1950), painter, with some quick sketches illustrating his letters; Robert Louis Balfour Stevenson (1850-1894), Scottish author; Charles Warren Stoddard (1843-1909), author; and Barrett Wendell (1855-1921), author and Harvard professor. There are a few drafts of responses by Sullivan scattered throughout the correspondence and filed under "S." Box 2 contains letters, written in Italian, by Tommaso Salvini (1829-1916), the Italian tragedian. All the letters were addressed to Sullivan and they date from 1881 to 1915. Sullivan translated the letters into English and the typescript of the translation is filed in the box. Not all the letters appear to have been translated and some of them were abridged in the process of translation. Salvini's letters discuss his work as an actor, his life in Florence, political developments in Italy, his family, and the world of theater in Europe and the United States. There are drafts of a few responses from Sullivan to Salvini (written in Italian). Box 2 also contains a typescript essay by Sullivan entitled "My First Acquaintance with Salvini." Boxes 3 and 4 include essays, notes, literary manuscripts, and printed copies of Sullivan's works. All are unbound. They are arranged in alphabetical order by title. Box 5 contains four notebooks kept by Sullivan which include poetry, newsclippings, photographs, and various literary jottings. The box also contains his handwritten manuscript of the novel The Heart of Us and two bound copies of other of his manuscripts. Much of Sullivan's writing was based on his travels in Europe.
