Scope and Content
From the Collection:
This collection contains correspondence, publications, articles, and clippings by and about Edwin Arlington Robinson. The material was compiled by two of Robinson's friends, Esther Willard Bates and Winfield Townley Scott. Bates was a playwright who met Robinson at the MacDowell Colony. Possessing the rare ability to read Robinson's handwriting, she became his typist and the first reader of his manuscripts. Scott, a fellow poet who eventually settled in Santa Fe, New Mexico, was also a long-time friend of Robinson's. Most of the collection reflects Robinson's later career, as well as reviews of his life and work produced after his death in 1935.
Correspondence includes letters from Robinson to various friends and publishers, and letters to and from Scott and Bates about Robinson. Publications include some material by Robinson, several articles and poems about him, along with a few printer's proofs. Publication correspondence and manuscripts for Winfield Townley Scott's, "Elegy for Robinson," are also in the collection, as is Esther Willard Bates', Edwin Arlington Robinson and His Manuscripts.
This collection is also called the Esther Willard Bates Collection of Edwin Arlington Robinson.
