Donald E. Stanford papers, 1865-1998 (bulk 1941-1998).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/256496457

Papers include correspondence, writings, lecture notes, printed items and graphic material, travel journals, conference materials, legal and financial papers that document the life of Donald E. Stanford and his career as English professor and co-editor of THE SOUTHERN REVIEW at LSU. Correspondence consists of Stanford family letters (1913-1966,n.d.) with references to travel, relocation, death of family members, and general family news. THE SOUTHERN REVIEW correspondence (1961-1994, n.d.) concerns the revival of the journal in 1963, transactions involved in its continuous publication, problems encountered in publishing ventures and in editing, and Stanford's contacts with the journal after his retirement in 1983. Personal and professional correspondence (1933-1998) reflect Stanford's literary interests and numerous publishing projects as well as his love of travel. Personal and professional correspondence with twenty-three individual correspondents (1933-1998), including Cleanth Brooks, Allen Tate, Robert Penn Warren and Arthur Yvor Winters, is present. Writings are primarily those of Stanford and include his poems, essays, reviews, books, anthologies, and dissertation. Gift writings are the literary works of other authors who sent their works for Stanford to read, edit, or consider for inclusion in THE SOUTHERN REVIEW. Seventy-two small travel journals record Stanford's travel in England, Europe, Canada, and elsewhere. Printed items and graphic materials include Stanford's offprints, printed works that include reviews and articles; gift offprints sent to Stanford by other writers; photographs of Stanford family members; photographs used in THE SOUTHERN REVIEW of literary figures such as Cleanth Brooks, Allen Tate, and Arthur Yvor Winters; and 14 published volumes of prose and poetry written, edited, or contributed to, in part, by Stanford. Instructional materials include items from both literature courses he took as a student and that he taught. These include lectures, tests, postcards and pictures. The financial and legal documents series consists of royalty statements from his publications, invoices and bills, THE SOUTHERN REVIEW expenses, copyrights, and a will. An audio cassette interview of Kathleen Raine, conducted by Donald Stanford, in which she discusses the literary works of William Blake and other writers; a microfilm copy of correspondence (1895-1938) contained in the Sturge-Moore Collection, filmed by the University of London Library; and eight arrowheads from various regions of the United States comprise part of this collection.
