Extent:
1 oversize box (osb) (1.70 linear
feet)
Abstract:
The collection of American writer and
activist Annie Nathan Meyer consists of replies to her appeal to American and English
authors for their personal responses to World War I. Her original intent was to publish
them
in a book to be sold for the benefit of the Library War Service; it is not known whether
that volume was ever produced. The responses are collected in an oversize bound volume.
Some
prominent writers among the twenty-five responders are John Burroughs, Mary Wilkins
Freeman,
John Galsworthy, William Dean Howells, John Masefield, Edgar Lee Masters, Agnes Repplier,
George Bernard Shaw, May Sinclair, and Edith Wharton. (The contributions of James
Lane
Allen, John Burroughs, and William Dean Howells had previously been removed and added
to the
individual authors’ collections; they have now been restored to their original
locations.)
