Scope and Contents
The collection, compiled by Richard Frary, is formed by material related to Stephen Crane, with only some material created by Crane. The holding is composed of letters, programs, cabinet photographs of the author as well as reproduction photographs of his friends and family, bibliographic essays on Crane, and sheet music (inspired by his works). Most of the correspondence in this collection was written by Crane to his friends, and some events ephemera was once owned by Crane or relate to events he participated in. It appears that some materials created by Stanley Wertheim, prominent Stephen Crane scholar, was added to this collection at an unknown time. Overall, the holding ranges from the 1890s to early 2000s, with the most relevant materials dating to the 1890s.
