| Notes | Louis Untermeyer was one of the most prolific editors of anthologies and recruited dozens of authors, with whom he had an extremely extensive correspondence, in the preparation of the approximately 100 books he edited. An abundance of surviving letters to poets and novelists is accessible in the Untermeyer Papers at the University of Delaware in Newark and in the Untermeyer Papers at Lilly Library at Indiana University Bloomington. |
