      [0624] Seward Collins Papers, 1918-1952 (bulk dates 1927-1937), YCAL MSS 12

      Location: Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library, Yale University, P. O. Box 208240, New Haven, CT 06520-8240

      Description: Seward Bishop Collins (1899-1952) was an American editor and publisher. In 1928 Collins, who had bought The Bookman the previous year, came under the influence of Irving Babbitt and the other leading humanist author of the day, Paul Elmer More. Around the same time, Collins's politics changed from leftist to ultra-conservative and, in certain aspects, pro-fascist, and his new philosophical and political views became more and more evident in the pages of The Bookman. In April 1933 The Bookman was succeeded by The American Review. This new monthly became a vehicle to publish the views of the revolutionary or conservative right, as Collins sought to present an Americanized version of fascism as a solution to the politically troubled 1930s. The journal was devoted to contemporary American economics, politics, philosophy, and literature, and for a little over four years served as a major forum for several "conservative-traditionalist" movements, notably the Humanists (Irving Babbitt and Paul Elmer More), the Neo-Scholastics (in Collins' terminology, this would include T. S. Eliot and Wyndham Lewis), the Distributists (G. K. Chesterton, Hilaire Belloc, and A. J. Penty), the Monarchists (Hoffman Nickerson and Ralph Adams Cram), and the Agrarians (Donald Davidson and numerous others). The papers contain correspondence, subject files, business papers, and other papers documenting Collins's editorship of The Bookman and The American Review. Correspondence with Irving Babbitt, Hilaire Belloc, William E. Borah, John Chamberlain, G. K. Chesterton, Ralph Adams Cram, Donald Davidson, Max Eastman, T. S. Eliot, Norman Foerster, Wyndham Lewis, J. B. Matthews, Paul Elmer More, Hoffman Nickerson, Ezra Pound, Porter Sargent, Robert Shafer, Lothrop Stoddard, and Dorothy Thompson. Subject files on Irving Babbitt, Hilaire Belloc, John R. Chamberlain, G. K. Chesterton, Donald Davidson, Distributionism, T. S. Eliot, Fascism, Griebl Nazi Spy Case [Dr. Ignatz T. Griebl], and Paul Elmer More.
