Quentin Anderson papers, 1935-2003 (bulk 1960-2000).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/314434777

The Quentin Anderson papers provide a record of Anderson's academic and professional life from 1935 until his death in 2003. The first two series of Anderson's correspondence and writings make up the bulk of the collection, and provide insight into Anderson's various roles as a serious intellectual, celebrated colleague, and admired mentor. Formats include correspondence, typewritten and printed items, and written research notes on both letter-size paper and index card files. The third series documents Anderson's professional career at Columbia University and within the literary community through correspondence, printed materials, and his own notes in preparation for class lectures. The final series holds items of personal significance such as journals, a record of his Broadway performance in his later years, and materials gathered by his wife Thelma Anderson, which are related to his death and memorial service.
