Biographical Note

William Jay Smith, a prolific man of letters for over 40 years, has produced more than 30 books of poetry, criticism, translations, and children's literature. A native of St. Louis and an alumnus of Washington University (BA 1939, MA 1941), he has received numerous literary honors and has read his work at universities and symposia throughout the world. Smith has held academic appointments at a number of universities and served as the Poetry Consultant to the Library of Congress from 1968 to 1970.

Although Smith is equally at home in most literary genres, he is probably best known today for his work as a translator and for the role he has played in introducing the work of numerous foreign authors to English-speaking audiences. Smith's early work as a translator was directed towards French literature (Poems of a Multimillionaire, by Valery Larbaud, 1955; Selected Writings of Jules Laforgue, 1956); over the past decade, however, he has been particularly active translating the work of East European authors. His translations of work by Hungarian authors brought him that country's Gold Medal of Labor, making Smith the first American to receive this award. And Smith continues to expand his translating interests. In the past few years, for example, he has co-edited two anthologies of contemporary verse, Brazilian Poetry: 1950-1980 (1983) and Dutch Interior: Postwar Poetry of the Netherlands and Flanders (1984), thus helping to introduce two unique bodies of writing to a wider audience.

Scope and Contents Note

William Jay Smith's Papers make up one of the largest groups in the Modern Literary Manuscript Collection; they are also one of the most varied, and help demonstrate Smith's versatility. His extensive file of incoming correspondence includes hundreds of letters from literary figures dating back to the 1940's, including a substantial group of letters from Russian, Hungarian, and other Eastern European authors. Numerous letters from publishers, editors, scholars, and friends are also present in the collection. Smith's papers include manuscripts and editorial matter towards all of his published work, as well as a large collection of manuscripts by other authors. Finally, the Smith Papers include a large assortment of miscellaneous material relating to specific writing projects, academic work, literary awards panels, Smith's travel, family and other personal papers, all of which help document in detail the career of this American literary figure.
