The Missouri Review, Columbia, Missouri, Records, 1977-1982 (C3342)
21 folders, 10 volumes
INTRODUCTION
Records of a literary magazine published by the Department of English at the University of Missouri-Columbia for the purpose of printing poetry, fiction, and essays of general literary interest with a contemporary approach.
DONOR INFORMATION
The records were donated to the University of Missouri by The Missouri Review on 23 June 1982 (Accession No. 4441).
SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE
This collection provides a very limited view of The Missouri Review. There is no information on the founding or founders of the magazine; nor is there any indication of how the magazine is produced. The correspondence is extremely limited in years, while the content is confined to the submission of literary works and an occasional request for financial support. The authors' proofs, which compose the largest portion of the collection, do indicate who was submitting poetry during these years, what type of poetry was being accepted, and the process of obtaining author approval for publication.
FOLDER LIST
| f. 1-2 | Correspondence, 1977-1982. Primarily letters between Speer Morgan, advisory editor, and contributors. Some letters between Larry Levis, editor, and university personnel concerning financial support for the magazine. |
| f. 3 | Copyright, 1978-1980. Forms releasing copyrights of various literary works to other publishers (1978-1979) and requests to print works whose copyrights are held by others (1979-1980). |
| f. 4-19 | Authors' Proofs, 1979-1981. Consists of galley proofs and publishing contracts sent to authors for their approval.
