Background

Scope and content:

The Albert J. GuƩrard Research Materials on John Hawkes consists of 1.5 manuscript boxes. The collection contains 19 letters and the photocopies of over 200 letters written by Hawkes to Albert and Maclin GuƩrard between 1959 and 1994. The originals of the photocopied letters are held by the Harvard Libraries. Also included are several folders of original letters from Sophie Hawkes, primarily to Maclin GuƩrard. The collection also contains 6 folders of John Hawkes' scholarly works, including page proofs, rare periodical publications, and a copy of The VOICE PROJECT.

Biographical / historical:

Albert Joseph GuƩrard (1914- ) is an emeritus professor of English at Stanford University and a novelist. John Hawkes (1925- ), a former student of GuƩrard's in his advanced writing class at Harvard, 1947-49, is a professor of literature at Brown University. John Hawkes and his wife Sophie are friends of Albert and Maclin GuƩrard. GuƩrard notes that "Although John Hakes is not a household name in the world of commercial best sellers, he has a very high literary reputation in the United States and in France, where he has been called the heir of Faulkner. I regard him, together with Gil Sorrentino, as the most important avant-garde novelist writing in English and possibly the best stylist of any novelist writing in English."
