http://asteria.fivecolleges.edu/findaids/umass/mufs050.html

A scholar of eighteenth century British literature and culture, Thomas W. Copeland began what would become more than half a century of research on the statesman and political philosopher Edmund Burke while studying for his doctorate at Yale (1933). After publication of his dissertation in 1949 as , Copeland was named managing editor of the ten-volume (1958-1978). After academic appointments at Yale and the University of Chicago, he joined the faculty at UMass in 1957, remaining here until his retirement in 1976. A chair was established in his name in the Department of English. The Copeland Papers are a rich collection of personal and professional correspondence, journals and writings from Copeland's Yale years, manuscripts, typescripts, notes, and draft revisions of his works on Edmund Burke, and a journal chronicling Copeland's four-year exercise in the daily practice of writing.
