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

of which are writings by other authors.

addition (accession #1998-0299) (1694 items, 14
linear feet, dated 1989-1998, bulk 1997-1998) comprises

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

(accession #2003-0089) 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.
The 2004 addition (accession #2004-0127) consists mainly of Chappell's personal and professional correspondence (2003-2004). Also includes notebooks and loose papers containing drafts of poems and other writings by Chappell; clippings and other printed materials; and writings by other authors.
The 2006 additions (accession #2006-0024 and 2006-0071) comprises primarily correspondence, as well as notes, clippings, manuscripts for review, Chappell's draft poems, books, serial issues, and miscellaneous items and ephemera. See below for details.
The 2007 addition (accession #2007-121) (4875 items, 8.8 lin. ft.; dated 2000-2007) contains correspondence, drafts, books, and serials. The majority of the correspondence consists of review copies of books and drafts by other authors and requests for blurbs or reviews by Chappell.
The 2008 addition (accession #2008-321) (1 item; .2 lin. ft.; dated about 1990) consists of Chappell's annotated proof copy of the SELECTED POEMS OF WILLIAM GILMORE SIMMS.

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.
