Collection Overview

Title: Parker Tyler Correspondence from Ezra Pound and William Carlos Williams
Date range: 1930-1959
Creator: Tyler, Parker
Extent: 0.25 Linear feet (42 letters)
Abstract: The Parker Tyler Correspondence consists of forty-two letters from Ezra Pound (1885-1972) and William Carlos Williams (1883-1963), addressed to Parker Tyler, a young American poet and literary critic. This small but rich body of correspondence serves a dual function: it sheds light on Tyler's development and reputation as a writer; and, most importantly, it offers valuable insights into the personal lives and the poetic theories and techniques of two major figures in American literature.
