Series Descriptions
1. Correspondence and Related Materials, ca. 1954-1994.
About 2000 items.
Arrangement: alphabetical.
NOTE: Additions received after February 1995 have not been integrated into the original deposits. Researchers should always check additions to be sure they have identified all files of interest to them.
Correspondence and other materials sent to William Harmon, poet and professor of English at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, from various English and American writers as listed below. These files include letters, poems, works of fiction, critical essays, and other material related to the correspondent.
The Eli Waldron files, for example, include letters from Waldron, copies of Waldron's many essays and poems, and letters about him after his death. These latter, some of which were written by his wife Marie Waldron, are concerned with the possibility of posthumously publishing Waldron's collected works. Similarly, although the Laura (Riding) Jackson file contains no correspondence from the poet, it does contain information about her death, as well as letters and memos from Theodore Wilentz, René VanDeVoorde, Elizabeth Friedmann, Cathie Brettschneider, and others about settling Jackson's literary estate.
Other substantial files include those of George Core, J. F. Nims, Robert Morgan, Cleanth Brooks, Fred Chappell, Michael McFee, Theresa Eliot, and Albert Goldbarth. Miscellaneous and unidentified correspondence is included at the end of this series.

2. Writings, ca. 1979-1992.
About 20 items.
NOTE: Additions received after February 1995 have not been integrated into the original deposits. Researchers should always check additions to be sure they have identified all files of interest to them.
Mostly drafts of works Harmon edited, such as the 6th edition of A Handbook to Literature, The Classic Hundred (formerly The Concise Columbia Book of Poetry), and The Top 500 Poems (formerly the Columbia Book of Poetry). Also included are satirical essays written by Harmon and Louis D. Rubin, Jr. These essays, grouped as "Harmon and Rubin," include material for "The Norton Reader," which was apparently never published, and for the Uneeda Review, which was. Miscellaneous essays are included at the end of this series.
