Biographical Sketch
Charles Raymond Larson was born to Ray Olaf and Miriam Kamphoefner Larson on January
14, 1938, in Sioux City, Iowa. Larson graduated from the University of Colorado with
a B.A. in English Literature in 1959 and an M.A., also in English Literature, in
1961. He received a Ph.D. in Comparative Literature from Indiana University in 1970.
Larson taught at high schools in Burlington, Iowa (1959-1960) and Englewood,
Colorado (1961-1962) and was a part time instructor in the English Department of the
University of Colorado (1961-1962) before joining the Peace Corps in 1962. Larson
was sent to southeastern Nigeria, where he taught English at Oraukwu Grammar School
for two years. While in Nigeria, he developed a strong personal interest in African
literature. At the time, courses in African literature were not available in the
United States.
Upon returning to the United States, Larson taught at the University of Colorado
(1965) and American University in Washington, D.C. (1965-1967) and was a lecturer at
Indiana University (1967-1970) while earning his Ph.D. His course in African
Literature at the University of Colorado was the first one taught in the United
States. When Larson became an associate professor in the Department of Literature at
American University in 1970, he began a long career there, becoming a full professor
in 1974 and chair of the department in 2002. He continued to develop and teach new
courses in the area of African literature.
Larson served as general editor of Collier’s African/American Library from
1968-1972, producing thirty-eight volumes of works by African, African American, and
West Indian writers. He became a fiction and book review editor at
Worldview in 1996. As a promoter of African literature,
Larson has edited short story anthologies, including African
Short Stories: A Collection of Contemporary African Writing (1970,
published as Modern African Stories in 1971), Opaque Shadows and Other Stories from Contemporary
Africa (1975, reprinted as More Modern African
Stories), and Under African Skies: Modern African
Stories (1997). Larson’s book The Emergence of
African Fiction (1972) examined the works of African novelists, while
The Ordeal of the African Writer (2001) addressed
publishing challenges and other issues facing African writers. Larson has published
numerous essays, reviews and articles about African literature.
Larson has also edited, written, and taught about works by Native American, African
American, and Third World authors.
American Indian
Fiction (1978) offers literary criticism of novels by Native American
writers. Larson’s extensive research on Jean Toomer and Nella Larsen resulted in the
publication of Invisible Darkness: Jean Toomer and Nella
Larsen (1993). He also edited An Intimation of
Things Distant: The Collected Fiction of Nella Larsen (1992) and The Complete Fiction of Nella Larsen (2001). Other works
by Larson include Prejudice: Twenty Tales of Oppression and
Liberation (1971), The Novel in the Third
World (1976), and Worlds of Fiction (1993).
In addition to the numerous articles, reviews, essays, poetry, and stories he has
had published in various periodicals and newspapers, Larson has written several
novels. Of these,
Academia Nuts was published in
1977, The Insect Colony in 1978, and Arthur Dimmesdale in 1983.
Larson married Roberta Rubenstein on May 2, 1971, and they have two children,
Vanessa and Joshua. Rubenstein is also a professor of literature at American
University, teaching courses on modernism, modernist and contemporary women writers,
and feminist literary theory. She has assisted Larson with his work and was coeditor
of the anthology
Worlds of Fiction.

Scope and Contents
The papers of American writer, editor, and teacher Charles R. Larson consist mainly
of his notes, correspondence, and research material, as well as drafts and proofs of
his reviews, essays, and novels. Included are typescript and handwritten notes and
drafts; clippings, tearsheets, and photocopied excerpts of published works;
correspondence; photographs; theater programs; newsletters, catalogs, flyers and
brochures; agreements; page proofs; course assignments and syllabi; and curricula
vitae. Also present is some original manuscript material by African and Native
American writers. The materials date primarily from 1967-2002 and are organized in
three series: I. Novels and Autobiographical Piece (1974-1982 and undated, 2.5
boxes); II. Critical and Editorial Work and Lectures (1894-2008, 27.5 boxes); and
III. Works by African Writers (1959-2002 and undated, 4 boxes, 1 galley file). Most
of the papers are in English, although some letters are in French and poems by
Chiedza Musengezi are also in Shona. Indexes of works and correspondents at the end
of this finding aid list locations for all works and correspondence in the
collection.
Series I. Novels and Autobiographical Piece includes page proofs of Larson’s novel
Arthur Dimmesdale (1983); handwritten and typed
drafts of The Insect Colony (1978); and drafts of
several unpublished novels and an essay.
Series II. Critical and Editorial Work and Lectures is subdivided into three
subseries: A. African Literature, B. African American Literature and Film, and C.
Native American Literature. As Larson stated in his book proposal for
The Ordeal of the African Writer, he has spent "a
professional lifetime of studying, evaluating, writing about, and teaching African
literature," and his papers reflect this. Larson’s numerous files on African writers
contain his research material, such as clippings and photocopies of works by African
writers, and his notes on their works, along with some correspondence and drafts of
Larson’s reviews. Similar files relating to Larson’s work on African American and
Native American writers make up Subseries B. and C.
Of particular note are files relating to Larson’s extensive research for his books
The Ordeal of the African Writer and Invisible Darkness: Jean Toomer and Nella Larsen. In
writing The Ordeal of the African Writer, Larson
interviewed and corresponded with writers and publishers about challenges faced by
African writers; his notes, correspondence, and other research material are present,
along with drafts and page proofs of the book. For Invisible
Darkness, Larson corresponded with individuals who had known African
American writers Jean Toomer and Nella Larsen, and he gathered documents and other
evidence of their lives along with articles and other works about the writers. An
unpublished autobiography by Nigerian writer Cyprian Ekwensi and correspondence with
writer Bessie Head (South Africa, Botswana) are included in Larson’s files on those
writers. Files relating to Zimbabwean writer Yvonne Vera contain a draft of her
unfinished work Obedience, which Larson hoped to ready for
publication. Also of interest are files relating to the Zimbabwe International Book
Fair (ZIBF) from 1996 to 2001 and the 2005 International Conference on African
Literature and the English Language (ICALEL) which include correspondence, brochures
and flyers, publisher catalogs, clippings, programs, and papers presented. Larson’s
copy of Richard Wright’s FBI file is located with the files on African American
writers. Among the files on Native American writers is a file containing a
typescript of Idunne by Hyemeyohsts Storm, press packets, and
correspondence with the author.
While a few original works by African writers are present in Larson’s files for his
short story anthologies and in submission files for
Worldview and Kalahari Review, most of the
original manuscripts by African writers are located in Series III. Among these are
galley proofs of Ayi Kwei Armah’s Two Thousand
Seasons; typescripts of short stories by S. Henry Cordor; an inscribed
typescript of Solomon Deressa’s Some Poems Finished and Unfinished;
signed photocopy typescripts of Wole Soyinka’s Camwood on the
Leaves, The Invention, and Madmen and Specialists; and typescripts of Sindiwi
Magona’s Last and Mother to Mother. An
index of works at the end of this finding aid lists all authors and works
represented in the collection.

Owner, Printer/Press, Binder module of the UT Libraries' online catalog. Press
releases, publishers’ advertisements and other promotional material, correspondence,
clippings, purchase receipts, Larson’s notes, drafts of Larson’s reviews, and
