Florence King papers
Florence King's papers document her life as a writer and social commentator. This collection includes correspondence with publishers and agents, book contracts, publicity, reviews, tearsheets, manuscripts and letters that King received from fans of her work. The manuscripts, tearsheets, literary correspondence and copies of columns provide great detail into Miss King’s writing career. Her financial records give insight into what a writer of her time was paid for her work. The correspondence often includes the letters King received as well as a copy of her reply which makes it easy to follow conversations and see context. There are a few personal photographs and letters with friends but not much of an intimate nature.Format(s): Manuscripts, Letters, Documents
