American poet Robert Traill Spence Lowell IV was born in Boston on
March 1, 1917, to Robert Traill Spence Lowell III and Charlotte Winslow Lowell,
a relation of writers James Russell Lowell and Amy Lowell. In addition to being
the descendant of poets, Lowell encountered and was taught by numerous
prominent poets during his classicist education. Lowell attended St. Mark's
School (1930-1935), where he was influenced by Richard Eberhart, and Harvard
University (1935-1937). In 1937, Boston psychiatrist and poet Merrill Moore
sent young Lowell to meet Ford Madox Ford, who was visiting Allen Tate in
Tennessee at the time. It was there that Tate introduced Lowell to John Crowe
Ransom, and Lowell subsequently transferred to Kenyon College (1937-1940) where
Ransom had accepted a new post. It was at Kenyon that Lowell made the
acquaintance of lifelong friends Randall Jarrell and Peter Taylor. Lowell also
came under the tutelage of Robert Penn Warren and Cleanth Brooks when he
undertook further study at Louisiana State University (1940-1941).
After college, Lowell worked as an editor and as a teacher at several
institutions, including the State University of Iowa, the Kenyon School of
Letters, Boston University, Harvard University, the University of Essex, and
Kent University, among others. During his career, he taught such poets as W. D.
Snodgrass, Anne Sexton, and Sylvia Plath.
His first volume of poetry,
Land of Unlikeness, was
published in 1944 and was followed in 1946 by his Pulitzer Prize winning effort
Lord Weary's Castle.
Lowell also won the National Book Award for his 1959 work
Life Studies, and again
received the Pulitzer for
The Dolphin, published
in 1973. His final work,
Day By Day, was
published in 1977 and was awarded the National Book Award Critics Circle Award.
His other major works include:
Poems 1938-1949 (1950),
The Mills of the Kavanaughs
(1951),
For the Union Dead
(1964),
Near the Ocean (1967),
Notebook 1967-1968
(1969),
For Lizzie and Harriet
(1973), and
History (1973).
Lowell also wrote and translated plays (
Phaedra and Figaro,
1961;
The Old Glory, 1965;
Prometheus Bound, 1969;
The Oresteia of Aeschylus,
1978), and published translations of poetry by Eugenio Montale (
Poesie di Montale,
1960), Baudelaire (
The Voyage and Other Versions of
Poems by Baudelaire,1968), and others (
Imitations, 1961).
His work especially during the 1960s and 1970s stressed his
preoccupations with political and social issues, such as protest of the
Vietnam War and support of presidential candidate Eugene McCarthy.
During this same period, Lowell's early formal style gave way to a
controversial personal or confessional style of poetry under the influence of
such poets as John Berryman, William Carlos Williams, and Ezra Pound.
Lowell was married to Jean Stafford (1940, divorced 1948), to
Elizabeth Hardwick (1949, divorced 1972), and to Caroline Blackwood (1972), and
had two children, Harriet Winslow Lowell (born 1957) and Robert Sheridan Lowell
(born 1971). He lived primarily in England after 1970 and died September 12,
1977, while on a visit to New York City.

The Robert Lowell Papers, ca. 1845-1988, consist mainly of Lowell's
working papers for the period 1970-1977. As such the papers include heavily
revised drafts of manuscripts, galleys, and page proofs for
Notebook (1970),
The Dolphin (1973),
For Lizzie and Harriet
(1973),
History (1973), and
Day By Day (1977). Also
present are an early notebook, manuscripts for a few earlier works such as
"Endecott and the Red
Cross" (1965) and
"Prometheus Bound"
(1969), manuscripts for works published posthumously such as
The Oresteia of Aeschylus
(1978) and
Collected Prose (1987),
as well as some unfinished and/or unpublished items. The balance of the
collection contains manuscripts by friends, colleagues, and students, as well
as correspondence, clippings, financial and legal papers, honorary degrees,
medical papers, music scores, photographs, school publications and yearbooks,
and sound recordings.
The bulk of this collection was acquired in 1982 and came in two large
suitcases, largely unorganized and unlabelled. Lowell was frequently assisted
by the poet Frank Bidart during the 1970s, who was consulted for advice
regarding the organization and arrangement of manuscripts in this collection.
The collection has been arranged into four series: I. Works, ca. 1930s-1987 (14
boxes), II. Correspondence, 1938-1977 (2 boxes), III. Personal Papers,
1845-1988 (5 boxes), and IV. Sound Recordings and Music Scores, 1958-1987 (19
items).
The papers serve to document various aspects of Robert Lowell's life,
chiefly his activities as poet, translator, and playwright, especially during
the last seven years of his life. His working practices as a poet, his
propensity for revision, and his evolving style during this later period are
especially well represented in his manuscripts. His correspondence from
colleagues and friends deals in part with his divorce from Elizabeth Hardwick
and subsequent marriage to Caroline Blackwood, and his controversial treatment
of these events in his poetry. Among Lowell's correspondents in this collection
are William Alfred, Rolando Anzilotti, Frank Bidart, Elizabeth Bishop, Caroline
Blackwood, Blair Clark, Elizabeth Hardwick, Stanley Kunitz, Harriet Winslow
Lowell, Eugene J. McCarthy, Mary McCarthy, William Meredith, Marcia Nardi,
Adrienne Cecile Rich, I. A. Richards, W. D. Snodgrass, Jean Stafford, Allen
Tate, Peter Hillsman Taylor, Robert Penn Warren, and others.
In addition to the manuscripts and correspondence, various clippings
of reviews and other critical assessments of Lowell's life and works are
present, which further understanding of Lowell and his work. Some clippings,
programs, handbills and other materials concerning productions of Lowell's
plays (
"Benito Cereno,""Endecott and the Red
Cross,""The Old Glory,""The Oresteia," and
"Phaedra") are
present, as are reviews and recordings of some musical settings of his work
(Elliott Carter's
In Sleep, In Thunder,
Benjamin Britten's
Phaedra, and John
Hopkins'
White Winter, Black
Spring).
Lowell's early life is documented by photographs, family documents,
school publications, and medical files which detail Merrill Moore's psychiatric
treatment of Lowell, ca. 1935-1941. Correspondence to Moore includes letters
from Lowell, as well as from family members and friends: Blair Clark, Anne
Dick, Richard Eberhart, James Laughlin, Charlotte Winslow Lowell, Robert Traill
Spence Lowell III, David McDowell, Frank Parker, John Crowe Ransom, Robb
Ransom, Jean Stafford, Milton Starr, Allen Tate, Peter Hillsman Taylor, and
Robert Penn Warren, and others.
His life in later years is chiefly detailed by the aforementioned
manuscripts and correspondence, but further documentation of his activities is
found among the financial and legal papers. Obituaries and items collected from
various memorial services round out the collection, recording the response to
Lowell's death by his contemporaries and the press.
There is also substantial information in the correspondence from other
poets and writers which will assist the researcher interested in these various
figures. Additionally, there are manuscripts present by some of these writers,
such as Elizabeth Bishop, Seamus Heaney, Stanley Kunitz, Marcia Nardi, I. A.
Richards, Peter Hillsman Taylor, and Robert Penn Warren. To a lesser extent,
there are also manuscripts from some of Lowell's students, as well as his own
notes regarding students, which relate to his role as educator.

Purchase, 1968-1992 (#4289, #9580, #12247, #12617)
Materials relating to
Endecott and the Red Cross
were purchased in 1968 from the Gotham Book Mart, but the bulk of the
manuscripts and correspondence comprising this collection were acquired from
the Estate of Robert Lowell in 1982. Important additions (including additional
manuscripts and correspondence, clippings, family documents, honorary degrees,
medical files, memorial service materials, obituaries, photographs, school
publications, and sound recordings) were received in 1991 from Elizabeth
Hardwick, and another three items of correspondence were acquired through the

Series I. Works,
ca. 1930s-1987 (bulk
1970-1977), 14 boxes
|
| Heavily revised drafts of manuscripts, galleys, and page proofs
for Lowell's major works published between 1973-1977 (
The Dolphin, For Lizzie and Harriet,
History, and
Day By Day) form the
majority of this series. Less complete is the material present for the revised
edition of
Notebook (1970),
which is represented by galleys and page proofs. Additional major works present
include the plays
"Endecott and the Red
Cross" (scripts and production materials for a 1968 staging) and
"Prometheus
Bound" (manuscripts and page proofs). Drafts of several prose pieces,
such as
"A Moment in American
History" and
"New England and
Further," which formed the basis for the posthumous
Collected Prose
(1987), are also part of this collection. |
| Numerous unidentified and/or unpublished poems, such as the late
poem
"Summer Tides"
and an unpublished poem to Randall Jarrell are also among these papers, as are
unpublished essays on John Crowe Ransom, Lieutenant William L. Calley, and
others. There is one early undated notebook of Lowell's, probably dating back
to his school days, which appears to contain Latin and Greek texts,
translations, transcriptions of poems, and some original poems. |
| The Works are arranged alphabetically by title, except for several
folders of manuscripts gathered after Lowell's death by Frank Bidart and
Elizabeth Hardwick, which have been left intact and have been placed at the end
of the series. For the published volumes of poetry, the manuscripts of
individual poems are generally arranged according to the order in which they
appear in the publication. Some drafts of the poetry reflect a variant order of
poems from the final published version, and the presumed original order of
these drafts has been left intact. Individual manuscripts are grouped by title
or first line in alphabetic folders, i.e. A-D, E, F, etc. An outline of the
arrangement of the manuscripts appears on page 21 of this guide. An index to
all manuscripts, by title or by first line (if untitled), has been compiled and
also forms a part of this guide. |
| Lowell's scrupulous attention to detail and propensity for
revision is amply demonstrated in the multiple drafts of most of his poems:
frequently there are more than ten versions, and some have as many as one
hundred different renditions. Numerous revisions and corrections to the
manuscripts appear in Lowell's hand, as well as those of Frank Bidart and
Caroline Blackwood. Lowell sometimes left drafts of poems untitled, though
frequently he also revised the titles of poems as he progressed through these
drafts. Often these are manuscript pages with a draft of one poem on the front,
and a draft of a different poem on the verso. Due to the large number of
revisions, the index to manuscripts in this guide should be consulted as a
first step to locate variants of individual poems which are scattered amongst
the manuscripts for these books. |
| The manuscripts for
Notebook (1970) and
for the three works published in 1973 (
The Dolphin, For Lizzie and Harriet,
and
History) document
the complexities of Lowell's changing poetic style during this period and his
perceptions of his poetry.
Notebook (1970)
included revisions of about 100 poems from
Notebook 1967-1968,
along with 97 new poems. Lowell himself sheepishly admitted in a note
to the publication"I am loath to display a litter of
variants... I couldn't stop writing and have handled my published book as if it
were manuscript." His continuing dissatisfaction with the work resulted
in yet further revision, breaking
Notebook (1970) up
into two new volumes,
For Lizzie and Harriet
(67 poems) and
History (which
incorporated 283
Notebook poems among
its 368 poems). Careful analysis of the manuscripts of
For Lizzie and Harriet
and
History will
illuminate the evolution of these works, especially in regard to which of the
Notebook poems in
what sequences appeared in which drafts as compared with their final published
versions. |
| Lowell further revised some poems that had appeared in
The Dolphin, For Lizzie and Harriet,
and
History when
Selected Poems was
compiled and published in 1976. While
Selected Poems is
not represented in this collection by a group of manuscripts, it is possible
that some of the drafts identified as belonging to one of the three 1973 works
could represent the earlier discarded versions Lowell indicated he used for
this publication. |
| The materials gathered by Frank Bidart largely concern
Day By Day, although
there are numerous poems from other works or some which may be unpublished.
Manuscripts that were published after Lowell's death, such as
The Oresteia of Aeschylus
(1978), are also present, as is Lowell's
"Cursory list of errors
with HarrietCursory list of errors with Harriet" in which Lowell
enumerated what he thought were his mistakes on his daughter's visit to
England. |
| Manuscript items gathered by Elizabeth Hardwick also contain
materials relating to
Day By Day, various
poems from other works, and unpublished poems, as well as several prose pieces
including
"Art and Evil"
and
"New England and
Further," which appeared in
Collected Prose
(1987). Several of these manuscripts are photocopies, and may represent
copies of originals held by other repositories. |

Elizabeth Hardwick, and his interpretation of their separation in
The Dolphin. Other
topics covered in the correspondence include requests for assistance from
struggling poets, family letters, opinions on literary and political movements
of the 1970s, letters of congratulation on the birth of his son, requests for
literary contributions to magazines or festivals, personal letters, and news
about friends and acquaintances. It should be noted that a few of the letters
have notes or lines of poetry scribbled by Lowell on the back. Some

separate index of manuscripts by other authors appears at the end of this
guide. |
| Also found in this series is a folder of outgoing mail from

Series III. Personal Papers,
ca. 1845-1988, 5 boxes
|
| A variety of personal papers concerning Lowell or of interest to
him makes up this series. These papers are arranged alphabetically by format:
Clippings, Critical Essays, Documents, Financial Papers, Honorary Degrees,
Interviews, Legal Papers, Medical Files, Memorials, Notes and Sketches,
Photographs, School Publications, Works by Other Writers, and
Miscellaneous. |
| Various aspects of Lowell's life are documented by the personal
records. Chronologically speaking, these include the Photographs (1845-1980s),
Documents (1933-1945), School Publications (1933-1935), Medical Files
(1935-1950s), Honorary Degrees (1961-1977), Financial Papers (1970-1977), Legal
Papers (1972-1977), and Memorials (1977-1987). |
| The photographs include images of Lowell's grandparents and
parents, and depict Lowell from his childhood through his adult life. Pictured
with him are his wife Elizabeth Hardwick, children Harriet and Sheridan, and
colleagues and friends, including Elizabeth Bishop, Ezra Pound, John Crowe
Ransom, Allen Tate, Peter Hillsman Taylor, and Robert Penn Warren. The
photographs that include Lowell are arranged chronologically. Those which do
not include him are grouped separately as family photographs. Another folder
includes photographs of illustrations intended for
The Dolphin, For Lizzie and
Harriet, and
History. |
| Among the documents are copies of family birth and death
certificates, as well as Lowell's own certificate of parole dated 1944. The
school publications date from Lowell's days at St. Mark's School and include
class yearbooks as well as a 1935 issue of
The Vindex with an
article by Lowell entitled
"The Iliad." |
| Of special note among these personal records are the medical files
created by Dr. Merrill Moore, a poet and psychiatrist who treated Lowell from
1935 to 1941. The bulk of these files cover the years 1937-1939, though there
is a gap for the period June through November, 1937. |
| The files consist of correspondence, internal memoranda,
photographs, clippings, a report card from Kenyon College, and various internal
office forms (such as psychotherapy records, telephone calls, etc.), all of
which serve to document the case. Lowell's problems and his relationship with
his parents are major topics, as are Lowell's relationships with others, such
as Frank Parker, Anne Dick, and Jean Stafford. The files have been left in
their original chronological order and include carbon copies of outgoing
correspondence from Moore along with incoming correspondence from Lowell, his
parents, other doctors, and friends. Correspondents include Blair Clark, Anne
Dick, Richard Eberhart, James Laughlin, Charlotte Winslow Lowell, Robert Traill
Spence Lowell III, David McDowell, Frank Parker, John Crowe Ransom, Robb
Ransom, Jean Stafford, Milton Starr, Allen Tate, Peter Hillsman Taylor, and
Robert Penn Warren. All correspondents in this subseries are included in the
correspondents index in this guide. |
| One additional folder contains items identified by Elizabeth
Hardwick as concerning Lowell's treatment by Dr. Vernon Williams during the
1950s. |
| Lowell's honorary degrees from several colleges and universities
are also included in these papers. |
| The financial and legal papers are arranged chronologically and
all date from the 1970s. Included are such items as Lowell's 1972 will, a copy
of his divorce decree from Elizabeth Hardwick, banking papers, bills, book
contracts, royalty statements, tax documents, and trust statements. |
| Materials collected by Elizabeth Hardwick from various memorial
services for Robert Lowell are arranged chronologically by service, and include
programs, invitations, and texts for readings. |
| The Clippings (1965-1988), Critical Essays (1970-1987), and
Interviews (1971) all consist of writings about Lowell and his work. The
clippings are predominately reviews of published works, productions of plays,
and musical settings of his work. A few of the plays are also represented by
other materials, such as programs and handbills. Review clippings and related
materials are arranged alphabetically by title of the work. One folder consists
of clippings of obituaries upon Lowell's death in 1977. Manuscripts, reprints,
and clippings of various critical essays about Lowell occupy one folder. Two
interviews, with Ian Hamilton and V. S. Naipaul, are also included. |
| Works by other writers include some of the manuscripts Lowell
received from students, colleagues, and friends. Included are manuscripts by
writers such as Elizabeth Bishop, Seamus Heaney, Stanley Kunitz, Marcia Nardi,
I. A. Richards, Peter Hillsman Taylor, and Robert Penn Warren. These are
arranged alphabetically by author. It should be noted that some of the
manuscripts remain where they were originally located with incoming letters in
the Correspondence Series. Locations for
all manuscripts by
other writers are included in a separate index at the end of this guide. |
| The Notes and Sketches include Lowell's typed chronology of
Caroline Blackwood's marriage to Israel Citkowitz, notes about his students,
and other miscellaneous notes. Other miscellany, including various clippings
and ephemera saved by Lowell, are found in the Miscellaneous folder at the end
of this Series. |
