Collection Overview
The Reynolds Price Papers span the years
1927-2004, with the bulk of the papers being dated between 1956 and 2004. The
collection consists of correspondence; writings by Price and other authors;
printed material (including serials containing articles by and about Price and
his work as well as newspaper and magazine clippings); legal and financial
papers; speeches and addresses; interviews; photographs; audiovisual materials;
digital materials; and other material relating to Price's personal life and
career as a writer and a teacher, especially at Duke University. Although the
correspondence does provide insight into his career as an English professor,
the collection contains only a small amount of material, such as lecture notes
and syllabi, relating to the courses he taught. Extensive personal and
professional correspondence between Price and his family, friends, and fellow
authors provides insight into his education at Duke University (particularly
his studies with Professor William Blackburn of the Department of English); his
period abroad as a Rhodes Scholar at Merton College, Oxford; and his literary
work.
Many forms of Price's writings (manuscripts, typescripts, stages of
proofs with notes, and outlines) document his development of well-known and
critically-acclaimed works in a variety of genres: the novels
A Long and Happy Life and
Kate Vaiden; the Biblical translations
collected in
A Palpable God; the memoirs
Clear Pictures and
A Whole New Life; the two career
retrospective volumes published in the 1990s,
The Collected Stories and
The Collected Poems; and many other books
and individual stories, poems, and essays. In addition to Price's own work,
numerous American authors--particularly Southern writers--and several British
authors are represented in the collection. Among the major correspondents are
Eudora Welty, Stephen Spender, and Allan Gurganus. Some manuscripts sent to
Price by students and by other authors have notations and criticism by
Price.
The Correspondence Series (RESTRICTED) is
divided into the General Correspondence Subseries
and the Authors' Correspondence Subseries. The
General Correspondence Series consists of letters to and from Price.
Correspondents include family, friends, teachers, and admirers of his work.
Early letters vividly depict his relationships with family members and friends.
Many of the letters dated between 1954 and 1958 concern his education at Duke
University and as a Rhodes Scholar at Merton College, Oxford University. His
early development as an author is documented here as well as in the Writings
Series. From 1961 onward, letters also provide information about his career as
a professor at Duke University. The Authors' Correspondence Subseries comprises
correspondence between Price and other writers and literary figures. These
letters concern both personal and literary matters. Frequently the
correspondents commented on each other's recent publications or on work in
progress. Numerous letters to and from Eudora Welty and Stephen Spender reveal
much about their strong influence on Price's development as a writer. The
series also contains a great many letters from Allan Gurganus, Jeff Humphries,
Josephine Humphreys, Joe Porter, Lee Smith, and William Blackburn.
The Writings Series (RESTRICTED) is divided
into the Writings by Price Subseries and the
Writings by Others Subseries. The former is
comprised chiefly of drafts, typescripts, and proofs of Price's novels, plays,
autobiographical works, and volumes of poetry, many with Price's notations and
revisions, and provides a thorough representation of the development of each.
Individual poems, short stories, essays, articles, and reviews by Price are
also included. Manuscripts (some of them photocopies) sent to Price by fellow
authors and by students make up the Writings by Others
Subseries. A few of these include commentary by Price. Both published
and unpublished works of poetry and prose are included. A few bibliographies of
Price's work are arranged at the end of this series.
The Printed Material Series is divided into
the Serials Subseries, the Clippings Subseries, and the Miscellaneous Printed Material Subseries (RESTRICTED). The
Serials Subseries is an extensive collection of publications containing
articles, reviews, fiction, and poetry by Price as well as articles about him,
interviews with him, and reviews of his work. The Clippings Subseries is
composed predominantly of reviews of Price's works and other articles about
him, but also contains some interviews and short nonfiction work by him, mainly
book reviews. Other printed materials documenting Price's achievements, his
education, and performances of his dramatic work as well as his speaking
engagements are housed in the Miscellaneous Printed Material Subseries.
Several smaller series make up the remainder of the collection. The
Legal and Financial Papers Series (RESTRICTED)
contains Price's personal financial data as well as documentation of his
writing career through contracts and royalty statements. Transcripts of his
speeches and interviews appear in the Speeches and
Addresses Series (RESTRICTED) and in the Interviews
Series (RESTRICTED). The Personal Papers Series
(RESTRICTED) contains a small selection of materials about Price and his
family history, including some of his drawings, and his teaching career in the
Duke University English Department is documented by the Academic Files Series (RESTRICTED). The
Photographic Materials Series (RESTRICTED) touches
upon both his personal and professional life; of particular interest here are a
number of photographs of Eudora Welty, a friend of Price's since his
undergraduate days. The Audiovisual Materials Series
(RESTRICTED) contains audio and video recordings of a variety of public
appearances, including readings, speeches, awards ceremonies, and interviews on
various local and national radio and television programs. A small
Electronic Formats Series (RESTRICTED) contains
files that supplement materials in other series, mainly Price's writings and
some correspondence.
Finally, of special note is a large collection of Oversize Materials (RESTRICTED) that supplements material
found in most of the major series. This part of the collection is particularly
rich in one area, and should not be overlooked by scholars researching the
writing, editing and publishing process of any of Price's books up through the
early 1990s. The significance of that date lies in the increasing use of
photographic and electronic media in the publishing industry. Prior to this
time, many of the various kinds of long galley proofs historically used by
publishers are housed with the Oversize Materials; after this period, most
proofs are printed on legal or even letter-sized paper and can thus be found
with the main body of the Writings by Price Series.
The 2007 addition (2007-0009) (4850 items; 10.5 lin. ft.) (dated 2003-2006) primarily consists of typescripts, drafts, and proofs for The Good Priest's Son, Letter to a Godchild, A Serious Way of Wondering, and the screenplay for A Long and Happy Life. Also included is correspondence, personal documents, photographs, bookcovers, and printed materials by other authors.
Addition (2009-0105) (12 items; 0.6 lin. ft.) consists largely of books from Price's writing, teaching, and research, including some text books as well as novels with his notes in the margins. Also included is one folder of miscellaneous notes and correspondence, 1972-1994.

Related Material
Materials related to the life and career of Reynolds Price appear in
several other collections housed at the Rare Book, Manuscript, and Special
Collections Library. The Clear Pictures Film Footage
Collection houses materials created and used by Charles Guggenheim in
making his 1994 documentary film about Price's life (based on Price's own 1989
memoir of the same title). The collection includes many materials that do not
appear in the published version of the film: research, film footage of
interviews of and about Price, and electronic files. Documentation of Price's
professional writing career appears in the records of the Harriet Wasserman Literary Agency Records. Materials
there include correspondence, drafts and published versions of his works, and
publishing contracts both with this agency and with Russell and Volkening,
Wasserman's employer prior to forming her own agency. Extensive documentation
of Price's publishing history can be found in the Jody
Jones Hunter Collection of Works by Reynolds Price. In addition to
copies of Price's books with major commercial publishers, the Hunter collection
also contains many small press publications, limited editions, periodicals, and
audiovisual materials. Finally, the Rare Book, Manuscript, and Special
Collections Library contains copies of many publications similar to those in
the Hunter collection. These items, cataloged separately from the Reynolds
Price Papers, are searchable by individual title in the Duke University
Libraries online catalog.

ENTIRE SERIES IS RESTRICTED. See individual subseries notes for

Writings by Price Subseries (RESTRICTED), 1946-2003 and undated
(76 boxes)
Chiefly manuscripts, typescripts, and proofs of novels, short
stories, poetry, plays, and a variety of nonfiction books by
Reynolds Price. Overall arrangement of the
subseries is chronological, with some exceptions.
The majority of Price's published books and plays (minus some
small press publications and limited editions) appear in order of publication
date in boxes WP1-WP70. For each book, materials are then arranged in order of
their writing and editing history. In cases of approximate or inferred dates,
strict chronological order is occasionally ignored, with the main sequence of
writing and editing the text--as reflected in notes, manuscripts, typescripts,
and proofs--being favored over such later matters in the publication process as
jacket copy, ads, and adaptations into other genres and media (such as
screenplays and audiobooks).
Materials for individual short works appear in the last six
boxes of the subseries, WP71-WP77, in four categories: uncollected poems,
uncollected stories, uncollected nonfiction, and student work. The first three
of these groups are arranged alphabetically by title; Price's student work,
from high school through his years at Oxford, is arranged chronologically.
[RESTRICTED: materials in this subseries are open for
researchers to view but not to duplicate. During Price's lifetime and twenty
years thereafter, duplication by any means of materials in this subseries
requires prior written permission from him or his literary executors.]

Materials in this folder appear to have been gathered by
Price and assigned this folder title in the early 1970s during preparation for
his first nonfiction collection,
Things Themselves, as some notes
and outlines recorded here reflect the final structure of that book. Folder
contains a mix of titles later collected in
A Common Room; uncollected
titles that appear in their own named folders elsewhere in the Reynolds Price
Papers; and other manuscripts that are unique to this folder.
Untitled and/or incomplete: blurbs, fragments, other
short pieces, and notes,
