Description
Summary:Wylie Sypher (WS), author and teacher, was a professor of English at Simmons College, Boston (1928-1981) and a lecturer at the Middlebury College Bread Loaf Graduate School of English (summers 1957-1975). Included in this collection are drafts, final versions, and published copies of many of the scholarly texts, articles, essays, and book reviews which gained WS national and international recognition. The collection documents the scholarship WS applied in gathering teaching materials for courses such as "Shakespeare" and "Criticism" and includes materials which detail his research processes prior to writing (an example is the research on Samuel Taylor Coleridge)
Correspondence with editors such as Jason Epstein, Andrew Chiappe, and Joseph Epstein documents how various writings evolved from the idea stage to publication. Other correspondence documents the scholarly influence WS had upon his undergraduate and graduate students and the associations he had with literary figures, historians, and colleagues such as Frederick Artz, Herschel Baker, Klaus Berger, Sir Edmund K. Chambers, Elizabeth Drew, Moses Hadas, Fiske Kimball, Lewis Mumford, and Lionel Trilling. Other correspondents include Lord Crewe, Rev. G.H.B. Coleridge, Eric Bentley, George Brockway, George Core, Stanley Hyman, Randall Jarrell, Erwin Panofsky, Henri Perye, John Crowe Ransom, and Alice B. Toklas
