Collection Overview
The papers of George P. Garrett span the years
1929-2000 with the bulk of the material being dated between
1960 and 1990. The papers document Garrett's literary
career as an author of novels, short stories, poetry, and
dramatic works (including filmscripts) and the tremendous
influence he had as an English professor and an editor on
an entire generation of writers, particularly in the South.
Correspondence with numerous authors, publishers, and
educators offers much information about the history of
20th-century Southern literature, publishing, and literary
education. The collection is divided into the Writings
Series (with subseries of Writings by Garrett, Writings
Edited by Garrett, Writings by Others, and Proofs); the
Correspondence Series (with 5 subseries of alphabetically
and chronologically arranged correspondence); the
Audiovisual Material Series; and the Miscellaneous Papers
Series (unprocessed).
The Alphabetical Correspondence Subseries: Group A
contains letters from numerous contemporary American
authors, among them Madison Smartt Bell, who wrote
regarding the progress of his fiction, his experience with
publishers and literary agents, and his interview with
Garrett for
Paris Review; and Fred
Chappell, whose letters provide commentary on his own works
The Inkling and
Dagon as well as
praise for Garrett's
Death of the Fox,
The Magic Striptease,
and
Welcome to the Medicine
Show. The Writings by Others Subseries contains
Bell's interview with Garrett, in which Garrett discusses
his writing process, and critical essays by Fred Chappell
(including one on Garrett's
The Stranger in the
Mirror and one on the work of Sylvia Wilkinson).
The Proofs Subseries contains a proof of Reynolds Price's
Collected Stories,
with brief comments by Garrett.
Garrett's own literary career is documented
throughout the collection. The Writings by Garrett
Subseries contains manuscripts, typescripts, notes, and
drafts of his work, some of it bearing notes for revision.
The Chronological Correspondence Subseries contains letters
in which Garrett wrote about his works in progress and
letters from friends and publishers regarding his work. The
comments of noted literary figures regarding Garrett's work
frequently appear in letters in the Alphabetical
Correspondence Subseries: Group A. This series also affords
researchers a detailed view of literary criticism and
support exchanged between Garrett and the many authors
represented in the collection. His negotiations with
publishers are best documented in the Alphabetical
Correspondence Subseries: Group B. The Audiovisual Material
Series contains some recordings of Garrett reading from his
own work.
The Audiovisual Material Series, which contains
many recordings of Garrett's lectures, classes, and
addresses to groups of writers, students, and literary
scholars, documents Garrett's teaching style and his ideas
on the teaching of writing.
Recordings of lectures and
readings by many other well-known authors also appear in
this series. Garrett's impact on his students and fellow
authors is again visible in the Writings by Others
Subseries, which consists of numerous manuscripts,
typescripts, and drafts (some bearing notes by Garrett) of
work sent to Garrett for commentary and revision.
The addition (acc# 1998-0356)(5500 items, 15
linear feet; dated 1980-1998 [bulk 1995-1997]) further
documents the life, career, and writing of the author and
educator. It consists of audiotapes of various authors,
including Garrett reading their works; a videocassette
entitled
"The Great Gatsby"
;
printed materials and writings, including published books,
journals, drafts, and bound proofs; a large amount of
personal and business correspondence; and manuscripts
submitted to Garrett for comment.
The addition (acc# 1999-0268)(1 item, .3 linear
feet; dated [ca. 1996]) consists of a photocopied
typescript of Garrett's novel
The King of Babylon Shall Not
Come Against You with handwritten annotations.
The addition (acc# 1999-0379)(450 items, .6 linear
feet; dated 1956-1972) is primarily comprised of incoming
correspondence, chiefly professional; a number of writings
are interfiled with or attached to letters. Also included
are miscellaneous printed materials such as brochures and
clippings.
The addition (acc# 2000-0085) (9100 items, dated
1964-1999) further documents Garrett's literary career with
additional manuscripts, often parts of or related to
The King of Babylon Shall not
Come Against You. There are audiotapes of readings
by Garrett and others, literary correspondence, and
clippings.
The addition (acc# 2000-0303) (15 items, 1 linear
foot; dated 1995-2000) documents some of Garrett's writing
process and his direct comments in readings and on
videotape. Included are page
proofs and a revised typescript of
The King of Babylon Shall Not
Come Against You, a revised typescript of
Entered From the Sun,
11 cassette tapes of readings and lectures presumably by
Garrett, and a videotape entitled
"Writers - East of the Blue
Ridge"
on which he is interviewed.
The addition (02-034) (1 item, 1 lin. ft.; dated 2002) comprises an uncorrected page proof, with color cover, for Garrett's Going to See the Elephant: Pieces of a Writing Life. This accession is unprocessed and has been interfiled.

Also includes typescripts, notes, holograph manuscripts, and typescripts with holograph corrections for essays, stories, and other writings; and a broadside of Garrett's poem, Luck's Shinning Child, printed for the 2004 Virginia Festival of the Book.
