1882-1985
(Bulk: 1975-1985)
Creator:
Gibson, James M.
Extent: 5.2 linear feet (12 boxes)
This collection contains research materials collected and compiled by James M. Gibson for a biography of Horace Howard Furness,
The Philadelphia Shakespeare Story: Horace Howard Furness and the Variorum Shakespeare, published in 1990. The bulk of this
collection consists of photocopies of original nineteenth and early twentieth century documents made between roughly 1975
and 1985. This collection gathers hundreds of letters and articles that relate to H. H. Furness, from over fifty libraries
and repositories, and illuminates Gibson’s research and writing process. Furness (1833-1912) was a leading Shakespeare scholar,
and thus some of the material pertains to the study of Elizabethan theater.
