Title: Letter from Jane Cooper to Louise Kertesz
Creator: Jane Cooper
Description: Dated July 10th, 1978. A typed letter from Jane Cooper to Louise Kertesz. Cooper apologizes for replying to the letter so late, and expresses elation that Louise Kertesz is writing a book about Rukeyser. The letter suggests names of former Rukeyser students to contact. “Muriel’s writing has always meant an enormous amount to me. She was the first contemporary woman poet I read, when I was 13 or 14 … Later, in the 50s & 60s, we taught together at Sarah Lawrence. Her course then was the “Orlando” course–a marvelous, unorthodox history of English literature, which used the Woolf work as a sort of frame, read both at the beginning & end of the year. and some checks are next to the names of the sources. Some handwritten notes are also on the letter.
