Annie Nathan Meyer:

An Inventory of Her Collection of Responses from American and English Authors at the Harry Ransom Center

Creator: Meyer, Annie Nathan, 1867-1951
Title: Annie Nathan Meyer Collection
Dates: 1914-1918, undated
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.)
