Edwin Arlington Robinson collection, 1897-1965 (bulk 1930-1965).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/40565640

This collection contains correspondence, publications, articles, and clippings by and about Edwin Arlington Robinson. The material was compiled by two of Robinson's friends, Esther Willard Bates and Winfield Townley Scott. Bates was a playwright who met Robinson at the MacDowell Colony. She became Robinson's typist and the first reader of his manuscripts. Most of the collection reflects Robinson's later career, as well as reviews of his life and work produced after his death in 1935. Correspondence includes letters from Robinson to various friends and publishers, and letters to and from Scott and Bates about Robinson. Publications include some material by Robinson, several articles and poems about him, along with a few printer's proofs. Publication correspondence and manuscripts for Winfield Townley Scott's, "Elegy for Robinson," are also in the collection, as is Esther Willard Bates', Edwin Arlington Robinson and his manuscripts.
