» Lewisohn (Ludwig) papers, 1903-1980s (bulk 1940s)

Papers document mostly Lewisohn’s friendship and early homosexual love affair with poet George Sylvester Viereck and Lewisohn’s later marriage to Edna Manley. Correspondence (1903-1955) between Lewisohn and Viereck is mostly on literary matters but early holograph poems by Lewisohn refer to their love affair. Other poems include printed and typescript copies and his English translations of some poems by Rainer Maria Rilke.
