Ramón José Sender (1901-1982) was a Spanish writer and professor. Sender's work included nonfiction, journalism, short stories,
novels, and poetry. Sender left Spain in 1939 and settled in the United States in 1942. He was a visiting professor of Spanish
literature at the University of Southern California from 1965 to 1971. Sender's 1969 novel
En la vida de Ignacio Morel
(In the Life of Ignacio Morel) received Spain's Premio Planeta de Novela award. Sender had two children including the composer and writer Ramón Sender
(born 1934).
This collection contains drafts of two manuscripts by Spanish writer Ramón Sender, both dated October 1969. The manuscripts
have handwritten corrections and are in Spanish, with English translations of brief author's notes only.
The first manuscript is a typescript first draft of the novel
En la vida de Ignacio Morel
(In the Life of Ignacio Morel). The second manuscript is a collection of poetry,
Poesía y Memorias Bisiestas. Sender identifies the first part of
Poesía y Memorias Bisiestas as having been previously published as
Las Imágenes Migratorias: Poesía (Ediciones Atenea), and many of the pages are printed leaves pasted onto sheets with handwritten edits. Sender created these
drafts while a visiting professor at the University of Southern California and in his note dedicates
Poesía y Memorias Bisiestas "to the University where I work."
