Papers, 1931-1937.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/43738551

Collection consists of letters England received from Joseph Q. Adams, Van Wyck Brooks, Erskine Caldwel, Donald Davidson, John Gould Fletcher, and Allen Tate. Most of the letters were written to England as editor of THE WESTMINSTER MAGAZINE, a quarterly review published at Oglethorpe University, and are negative responses to England's requests for articles. All of the letters contain comments that are somewhat revealing about their authors. Notable topics include the Southern Agrarians and the piracy of an early text of HAMLET.
