Donald Gallup served as the curator of the Yale Collection of American Literature for over thirty years. Prior to working at Yale, Gallup taught English at Southern Methodist University. Gallup was a well-known scholar of American Literature, focusing on Ezra Pound, T.S. Eliot, Gertrude Stein, Alice B. Toklas, Eugene O’Neil, and Thornton Wilder. Gallup began collecting Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas materials while he was stationed in Paris during World War II. In 1968, Gallup famously authenticated the previously lost manuscript of T.S. Eliot’s "The Waste Land" for the New York Public Library. Gallup died in 2000 at age 87.
