Modern Poetry Collection of Miscellaneous Manuscripts, 1920-1964

Title: Modern Poetry Collection of Miscellaneous Manuscripts 1920-1964

The Modern Poetry Collection of Miscellaneous Manuscripts consists of miscellaneous contemporary poetry manuscripts collected by Judith Bond while she was Curator of the Harriet Monroe Library of Modern Poetry. Most of the manuscripts were contributed by the poets at Bond’s request, and several of them show the work either in rough draft or in successive stages of completion. Also appearing in the collection is a fair amount of correspondence, most of it exchanges between Judith Bond and the various poets whose work appears within. The collection itself spans the period of 1920 through 1964, with some of the material remaining undated.

Byatt, A. S. (Antonia Susan), 1936-. Autograph letter signed : Avèze, France to Adeline Tintner, 1991 Aug. 6.

Title: Autograph letter signed : Avèze, France to Adeline Tintner, 1991 Aug. 6.

Byatt presents an erudite explanation of how authors such as Henry James, Robert Browning, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Thomas Mann, Honore de Balzac, and Marguerite Young have influenced her work, in particular her Booker prize-winning novel "Possession," published in 1990, and her short stories. Byatt cites several examples of fiction and poetry by these authors to illustrate her point, with quotations from Mann and others. She explains that the character [Randolph] Ash "is my fiction & my 'quotations' are a kind of game with modern theories of Intertextuality." She notes that David Lodge thinks "Possession" is "funny (in its taking apart of modern critical theory)." Also records that "The Hawthorne epigraph is something I've been teaching & meditating for years ... I first met the paragraph when I was a postgraduate at Bryn Mawr in 1957. That was also where I discovered Marguerite Young's "Angel in the Forest" which has had a curious effect on all my work." States that "Possession is about 'greedy reading' & so is my writing -- a kind of writerly raid on scholarly dogmatics & theories."
