Chiefly letters, 1982-1989, to William R. Harmon of the English Department at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill from Laura (Riding) Jackson. The letters are substantive, containing Jackson's comments on her life and work and including explications of specific poems and discussions about Robert Graves and other prominent authors with whom she worked. Many letters show Jackson in her struggle against critics and editors who, she believed, had misjudged the meaning and significance of her work. Also included are a few letters to Harmon from others and a small number of writings of Jackson and others, most of whom are not identified.
