Collection Overview

The fully processed portion of the Fred Chappell Papers spans the dates 1960-1997, with the bulk being dated after 1970. There are several additions covering the years 1998 through 2003. The collection consists of correspondence; writings by Chappell and other authors; printed material (primarily serials containing stories, poems, and articles by Chappell but also clippings); legal and financial papers; speeches and addresses; interviews; and other material. Documents relate to Chappell's personal life and career, both as a student and writer at Duke University, where he studied under well-known creative writing teacher William Blackburn, and as a writer and professor at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNC-G). The collection documents the entire length and breadth of Chappell's multifaceted career, beginning with the years just after he completed his undergraduate studies at Duke and started his first novel at the urging of Hiram Haydn, an editor to whom Blackburn had introduced him. Letters, manuscripts, and notebooks provide insight into Chappell's developing literary career, his academic activities at UNC-G, and his growing involvement with a large network of writers, including a number of his former students. Many prominent American authors, especially Southern ones, are represented in the collection. Among the most frequent correspondents are Kelly Cherry, Grace DiSanto, George Garrett, Marianne Gingher, Dana Gioia, Donald Hall, Heather Ross Miller, Robert Morgan, Eve Shelnutt, and Dabney Stuart. Notebooks, manuscripts, typescripts, proofs, and printed material document the development of Chappell's career across all the genres in which he writes. Supporting material in non-print media, including photographs and audio and video cassettes of readings, document public aspects of his career.

The Correspondence Series, arranged chronologically in Incoming and Outgoing subseries, discloses the range of Chappell's interests and activities in the literary community. The letters not only provide a portrait of his development as a poet and novelist but also demonstrate his active roles in supporting the careers of other writers and promoting the literary community. These latter activities are documented by his numerous affirmative responses to a broad range of requests to read drafts of works-in-progress, write recommendations for other writers for grants and awards, write reviews and provide blurbs for new publications, serve as the judge of contests, speak at conferences and workshops, and serve in various advisory and editorial capacities for literary journals. The correspondence also provides much information about his teaching career and his legacy of students who develop successful careers of their own, such as Cherry, Miller, Morgan, and Shelnutt. The bulk of the outgoing correspondence dates to 1990 or after, when, at the request of the Rare Book, Manuscript, and Special Collections Library, Chappell began retaining copies of all outgoing correspondence.

The Writings by Chappell Series is divided into subseries by genres with the exception of one subseries based on format, the Notebooks Subseries. Since Chappell writes with relatively few hand corrections on any particular stage of his work, the development of an individual work is often apparent only by comparing various complete drafts in manuscripts, typescripts, and proofs. The notebooks are particularly valuable in this regard, providing what often appear to be the earliest versions of works. The notebooks also indicate the facility with which Chappell moves from one genre to another, as most of them are not devoted to a single work or genre but rather include poems, stories, novel fragments, essays, reviews, translations, and drafts of correspondence following one after the other. This versatility is further reflected by the Printed Materials Series, which contains extensive serials with Chappell's publications in multiple genres, especially fiction, poetry, and reviews. At the end of this series, the Clippings Subseries documents his public and critical reception with copies of reviews and essays about his work and publicity about it.

The Miscellaneous Series contains a variety of flyers, leaflets, newsletters, and examples of fan mail that further demonstrate his literary career. Prominent here are such items as the proofs for a 1990 symposium about his poetry and newsletters of the Fellowship of Southern Writers. It also contains two small subseries of audio and video cassettes of readings, interviews, and work by other authors.

The Writings by Others Series contains manuscripts from well-known contemporary writers, ex-students, and aspiring writers seeking advice. Chappell's reactions to the manuscripts are written on many of them, often as the first draft of a letter or requested recommendation. Most writers are represented by only one or two items, but Cherry and Shelnutt are both represented by more than a dozen pieces that, together with their frequent correspondence, outline the development of their respective careers.

The bulk of the 1993 addition (accession #93-102) (1000 items, 3.0 linear feet, dated 1992-1993) has been incorporated into the fully processed portion of the collection. The remaining two boxes consist primarily of incoming correspondence. A small portion of this includes enclosures and attachments, some of which are writings by other authors.

The bulk of the 1998 addition (accession #1998-0299) (1694 items, 14 linear feet, dated 1989-1998, bulk 1997-1998) comprises correspondence received by Chappell. It also includes several folders of outgoing correspondence, drafts and published versions of works by Chappell and others, nineteen books, awards, miscellaneous printed materials, and one audio cassette and video cassette.

The 1999 addition (accession #1999-0272) (7200 items, 12 linear feet, dated ca. 1978-1999) comprises correspondence, drafts and published versions of works by Chappell and others, photographs, clippings, awards, one video tape, and other items.

The 2000 addition (accession #2000-0272) (5425 items, 13.7 linear feet, dated 1989-2000) comprises correspondence received by Chappell; drafts and published versions of works by Chappell and others; reviews; items relating to his teaching; thirty-three books and periodicals; and other related materials further documenting his work as a poet, novelist and teacher. The addition includes two compact disks and four videocassettes.

The 2001 addition (accession #2001-0145) (4344 items, 7.7 linear feet, dated 2000-2001 and undated) comprises correspondence received, drafts and published versions of works by Chappell and others, reviews, audio and video tapes, approximately fifty books and periodicals, and other related materials documenting his work as a poet, novelist and teacher.

The 2002 addition (accession #2002-0171) (4895 items, 8.9 linear feet, dated 1944-2002 and undated, bulk 1995-2002) consists primarily of incoming correspondence. It also includes Chappell's outgoing correspondence; drafts of his writing; newspaper and journal articles and reviews by and about Chappell; his Duke University diplomas (1961; 1964); the North Carolina Award in Literature (1980); thirteen black-and-white and three color photographs; seven audio cassettes; one audio CD; and one Betamax and three VHS videocassettes. The audio and videocassettes include recordings of Chappell with George Garrett, as well as of Chappell reading.

The 2003 addition (accession #2003-0089) (2150 items, 5.9 linear feet, dated 2001-2003 and undated) consists mainly of Chappell's personal and professional correspondence, 2002-2003. Also includes handwritten journals (including poetry journals) and drafts of articles and lectures; clippings and printed material; manuscripts; and framed awards.

Writings by Chappell Series, 1960-1997 and undated

Divided into the following genre subseries: Fiction, Poetry, Essays, Reviews, Speeches and Addresses, and Miscellaneous. Additionally, one subseries based on format, Notebooks, should be consulted to ensure seeing all versions of an item in any genre. Each subseries is alphabetized by title, with multiple drafts of individual works arranged, to the extent it can be determined, in order of composition. With all of Chappell's writings it should be noted that he seldom dates his work, so often the only clues to the date of composition are the date of publication and the date the Library received a particular accession. This latter is noted in brackets on many items as [Rec'd date]. The date in boldface after the titles of books is the original publication date.

Fiction Subseries, 1963-1996 and undated

Arranged alphabetically by title, books first followed by individual stories. Versions of collected stories may appear under their own title or that of the collection. Individual stories are grouped with the collection if the Library received them that way or if page renumbering clearly indicates that a manuscript was part of a larger organization. Additional versions may appear in the Notebooks Subseries.

Notebooks Subseries, ca. 1960-1997 and undated

Arranged chronologically to the extent possible; since most of Chappell's work is undated, the sequence is necessarily arbitrary at many points. Sometimes drafts of correspondence in the notebooks provide clues to the general time span of the notebook. For bibliographic reference purposes, each notebook is numbered in brackets in the top right of the first page (not the cover). If the date the Library received the notebook is known, that is also recorded here.
