Richard Henry Stoddard

Résumé du livre

The collection consists of eighty-four letters written by Richard Henry Stoddard, mostly dating from the 1880s and 1890s, many of which were addressed to either Susan Hayes Ward (1838-1924) or to her brother, William Hayes Ward (1835-1916), editor of The Independent, a weekly religious newspaper. Others to whom he sent letters include Edmund Clarence Stedman (1833-1908), Robert Shelton Mackenzie (1809-1881) of The Philadelphia Press, Lippincott's Magazine editors William Shepherd Walsh and Henry Stoddart, and J.M. Stoddart of Stoddart's Review. The contents of these letters range from his offering of original poems and articles (and what he believed would be fair payment, should they be published) to literary criticism of work both unpublished and published.
