Also included are correspondence with family, editors, publishers (especially Alfred A. Knopf and Macmillan Company), and literary agents such as Russell and Volkening, Inc. Researchers will find mail from readers, photographs, speeches, and materials documenting Arnow’s political interests such as McCarthy’s House Un-American Activities Committee, the Vietnam War, and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). Book reviews, scholarly articles, and dissertations written about Arnow’s work are also featured in the papers.
