Papers, 1911, 1959-1975.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122598001

Notebooks, typescripts, holograph manuscripts, book proofs, galley proofs, published materials, book reviews, and correspondence document Robert Nye's creative and critical writing from 1959 through 1975. The largest series, Works, consists largely of holograph notes and corrected typescripts. These materials provide detailed evidence of the creation and refinement of Nye's work in poetry, essays, short stories, libretti, plays, novels, and children's literature. The majority of the items date from the late 1960s to the early 1970s. Nye's extensive work as a poetry and fiction critic and editor is reflected in the subseries Critical Works (3.5 boxes). It contains reviews intended for publication in The Guardian, The Scotsman, The Times, and The Tribune. Nye's abandoned effort to publish an edition of Thomas Chatterton's poetry is documented with workbooks, manuscripts, published works, and reviews. Another editing endeavor, A Choice of Sir Walter Raleigh's Verse, is represented by several manuscripts and a book proof. The bulk of the Correspondence series consists of letters between Nye and Derek Stanford detailing both authors' creative and private lives. A small amount of materials grouped as incoming correspondence contains letters from various literary persona.

14 boxes (6.75 linear feet).
