Papers of James Whitall [manuscript], 11915-1917.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/647995038

The collection contains the manuscript of an unpublished novel "How literature came to Texas," ca. 1915, written by Whitall under the pseudonym, "Honor Landis." The manuscript contains corrections by George Moore. In addition the collection contains suggestions by Moore on enlivening Chapter 7 of the novel and a contract between Moore and Whitall, 1915 March 24, for the novel's publication. In a series of letters to Whitall, 1915, Moore discusses the novel and their literary collaboration and offers specific advise. He recommends Walter Pater's writing style. In a final letter, 1916 October 10, Whitall expresses disappointment that the novel will not be published and thanks Moore for the insight he has gained. In two additional letters, 1916, 1917, William Heinemann, of Heinemann Publishing House in London, writes to Whitall agreeing to review, and then rejecting, Whitall's manuscript, noting "we are in such appalling straits with regard to paper and other materials for book making that we can only take up things in which we have great confidence."
