Title

eng Letter from Jane Cooper to Kertesz, July 10 1978

Description

eng 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. In the letter, Cooper suggests names of former students of Rukeyser 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." Some check marks are next to the names of the students of Rukeyser. Some handwritten notes, apparently by Jane Cooper, are also on the letter. Page 1 of 2.
