On Thursday, January 10th, CAH members embarked on a tour of the
Amy
Lowell Collection at Harvard's Houghton Library, led by curator and
Modern Books & Manuscripts and exhibition organizer, Leslie Morris.
Amy Lowell (1874-1925) was a controversial and outspoken Pulitzer Prize
poet who over the span of her life, amassed a collection of 18th-20th
century works by prominent creative minds such as Jane Austen, William
Blake, Charlotte Bronte, William Blake, Walt Whitman & Emile Zola.
In this special fall exhibition, entitled "From Austen to Zola; Amy
Lowell as a Collector", CAH members were able to enjoy this impressive
collection.
