No Binding. Condition: Very Good. Original unbound typescript with holograph corrections in a gray paper folder. Typescript for The Short Story in English (1981). No date, circa 1970s. Folder measures 11 1/4" x 13 1/2." Typescript measures 8 1/4" x 11 3/4." 636 pages. Pages are very clean and intact overall. Slight chipping and minimal wear on first few pages. Walter Allen (1911-1995) was an English literary critic and novelist and was part of the Birmingham Group of authors. Although the Birmingham Group was characterized as proletarian in the 1930s, the Birmingham authors were known for their social mobility. In The Short Story in English, Allen examines the development of the short story in England and the U.S. from its first appearance in the late nineteenth century to the present. Extra postage charge.
No Binding. Condition: Very Good. Two original typescripts with handwritten corrections. First manuscript: 323 pages; published as The Urgent West: The American Dream and Modern Man (Dutton, 1969). Second manuscript: 636 pages; published as The Short Story in English (Oxford University Press, 1981). Page measurements are letter size and range between 8" x 10" and 8" x 12." As a whole, the typescripts are Very Good (some pages are pristine and intact with no signs of wear while others have a bit of wrinkling, chipping, and browning). *Foreign postage extra.* Walter Ernest Allen (1911-1995) was a multi-talented literary journeyman. Julian Symons in the Times Literary Supplement called him an "all-rounder." Anatole Broyard in the New York Times wrote that Allen "may be one of the last of the old type of literary journalists." Allen was born in Birmingham, England in 1911. He graduated from the University of Birmingham in 1932. Allen made a career on both sides of the Atlantic as an author, college professor, journalist, radio broadcaster, screenwriter, and book reviewer. He taught at universities in England, the United States, Ireland, and Canada. In the U.S., he taught at the following schools: University of Iowa (1935); Coe College, Iowa (1955-1956); Vassar (1963-1964); University of Kansas (1967); University of Washington (1967); New York University (1970-1971); and Virginia Polytechnic Institute (1974-1975). Allen wrote, edited, or contributed to no less than twenty-eight books. His writing spanned the range from novels to literary criticism, from the popular to the academic. Many of his literary recollections are contained in As I Walked Down Grub Street, Memories of a Writing Life (University of Chicago, 1982). In the first manuscript offered here, The Urgent West, Allen describes the development of American literature as a part of its westward territorial expansion, leaving off his discussion at about 1940. In the second manuscript, The Short Story in English, Allen covers post-World War II short story writers in all English-speaking nations. Of the thirty-five writers he touches on, about one-third are American. They include John Updike, John Cheever, Joyce Carol Oates, Bernard Malamud, Morley Callaghan, John O'Hara, Eudora Welty, Flannery O'Connor, and Carson McCullers. His analysis of short story writers stops with those most popular during the mid-1960s.
