Scope and Content Note
The papers of Irita Van Doren (1891-1966) span the years 1920-1967. The collection
consists of correspondence, originals of writings by various authors, and a large file
of material relating to Wendell L. Willkie, especially his 1942 world tour and drafts of
his book,
One World
. The papers are organized into the following series: [General Correspondence](gencorres); [Special Correspondence](speccorres);
[Speech, Article, Poetry,
and Book Review File](speeboofile); [Wendell L. Willkie File](wilkiefil); [Miscellany](miscella); and [Oversize](oversize).
Most of Van Doren's correspondence is with American and foreign authors with whom she
became acquainted during the years 1926-1963, when she served as editor of the
New York Herald Tribune
Sunday book review section. The letters pertain primarily to various author's
preparation of articles and book reviews and to the planning of the book and author
luncheons which were sponsored by the
New York Herald Tribune
and the American Booksellers Association. Van Doren selected the speakers and
presided over the luncheons which were held about eight times each year. Among the
outstanding literary figures represented in her correspondence are Samuel Hopkins Adams,
Stephen Vincent Benét, Van Wyck Brooks, Witter Bynner, James Branch Cabell, Willa
Cather, Walter de la Mare, John Dos Passos, Theodore Dreiser, E. M. Forster, Sinclair
Lewis, W. Somerset Maugham, Erich Maria Remarque, and E. B. White.
There is a considerable amount of correspondence from the Southern novelist Ellen
Anderson Gholson Glasgow and from Stuart Pratt Sherman, who preceded Van Doren as editor
of the
New York Herald Tribune
book review section. In addition to correspondence, there is a file of original
manuscripts of various authors' speeches, articles, poems, and book reviews.
An important segment of the papers pertains to the American industrialist and political
figure Wendell L. Willkie. Van Doren became a close friend and advisor to Willkie and
assisted him in writing
One World
. The [Wendell L.
Willkie File](wilkiefil) in the papers relates to his 1942 world tour, which was the basis
for
One World,
as well as an extensive collection of his speeches and articles and drafts of
One World.
In the [Special
Correspondence](speccorres) series is an original, signed letter of President Franklin D.
Roosevelt to Joseph Stalin, August 22, 1942, apparently carried by Willkie to Moscow but
not delivered during his meeting with the Soviet leader in September 1942.
