[Papers from the Nora Stirling Collection relating to Pearl S. Buck's acquaintance with Lin Yutang and material related to the publication of Buck's novel, The good earth] [manuscript]. 1985.

The Nora B. Stirling Collection consists of the materials used by the donor in writing the biography, Pearl Buck: A woman in conflict, published by New Century Publishers in 1983 and fills seventeen boxes. The folders and envelopes containing these materials are Stirling's, organized in her somewhat idiosyncratic way. Boxes 4 through 8 hold the sources for the biography, filed most often by the dates of Buck's life, but occasionally by topic or the name of an influential person. The Collection is an extraordinarily rich source of biographical material on Pearl S. Buck, as well as a fascinating record of one writer's strategy for gathering and organizing information and composing a biography.
