The Papers of Norman Rosten, 194?-196? 194?-195?

The Papers of Norman Rosten spans more than forty years, but what is quite evident is the fact that much of what Rosten wrote encompassed various mediums-from his writings of radio scripts such as Death of a King, written in 1938, to newspaper articles, plays and even poetry. This collection contains items such as original drafts of published works, photographs, playbills, interviews, reviews, correspondences and scripts. There is also some publicity material for his screenplay A View From the Bridge, an original radio script for Death of a King, as well as final revisions. In addition, there are newspaper clippings, magazine articles and some interviews Mr. Rosen gave during his term as Brooklyn's Poet Laureate.

2 boxes (1 cu. ft.) plus an LP, "The Pems of Norman Rosten read by the poet himself.
