Archibald MacLeish: A Selectively Annotated Bibliography is the only complete compilation of material by and about Archibald MacLeish, one of America's most accomplished literary artists whose long, prodigious, and often controversial career spanned almost the entire twentieth century. A poet, playwright, and essayist, he wrote for Fortune magazine for nine years, served in several government positions including Librarian of Congress, and was a tenured professor at Harvard University.From such a lengthy and often controversial period of productivity, it is to be expected that material by and about him woud be voluminous-and such is the case. This bibliography contains 2,339 entries in eight chapters grouped by type of publication. Many of the entries are annotated and cross-referenced. Includes an introduction, a section on how to use the book, and extensive indexes.
