- Scope and content:
-
This series includes books from Wallace Fowlie's private library as well as some books Fowlie gave to others as gifts. Fowlie's own scholarship is represented in the first subseries, which contains works written or edited by Fowlie as well as a number of his translations of French-language literature (e.g. works on Arthur Rimbaud, Paul Claudel, Baudelaire) as well as a reading of Dante's Inferno. The second subseries contains Fowlie's personal copies of French (e.g. Marcel Proust, Georges Simenon), Italian (e.g. Dante), American (e.g. Thomas Wolfe, Edmund Fuller, T. S. Eliot), English (Shakespeare), and Irish (Iris Murdoch, James Joyce) literature in French and English as well as scholarship on French- and English-language literature by various authors. Many of the books include inscriptions and notes by Fowlie as well as laid-in letters, postcards, book reviews, clipped magazine, and newspaper articles.
