Historical Note
Andrew Field was born in Orange, New Jersey, on March 28, 1938. He received a B.A. from Columbia University in 1960 and an M.A. from the same institution in 1961. He was a Harvard University exchange scholar at Moscow State University in 1963. He later was a lecturer at the University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia, from 1967 to 1970, and a senior lecturer in Russian literature from 1971 to 1974; he earned his Ph.D. at this last institution in 1973. His doctoral work produced the first full bibliography of Vladimir Nabokov, Nabokov: a Bibliography, which was published by McGraw Hill in 1974. That same year, Field became a professor of comparative literature at Griffith University, also in Brisbane, and was Director of the Institute for Modern Biography there from 1977 to 1979. He also served as a member of the advisory board of the Humanities Research Centre at Australian National University from 1977 to 1979. In 1984, he was the Davis Visiting Professor at Wellesley College in Massachusetts. He married Margaret (Meg) Shegog in 1977.
Professor Field's first publication was his translation of the second novel of the Russian symbolist Fyodor Sologub, entitled The Petty Demon (1907), published by Random House in 1962. In 1964, Little, Brown published an anthology of new Russian literature called Pages from Tarusa, edited by Field. His first biographical work was Nabokov: His Life in ArtA Critical Narrative, published by Little, Brown in 1967. In this work, he considers Vladimir Nabokov's writings in Russian and his reception by Russian, European, American, and émigré critics and suggests a fuller appreciation of the writer and his complete, bilingual oeuvre. Field's critical work on Nabokov produced two additional critical biographies: Nabokov: His Life in Part (1977) and VN: The Life and Art of Vladimir Nabokov (1986). Field also published a novel, Fractions, in 1969.
As a scholar, translator, and creative writer, Field considers biography a distinct literary genre. In the anthology Reading Life Histories, published by the Institute for Modern Biography at Griffith University in 1981, he asserted that biography should move "from history to artistic form with no sacrifice in standards of accuracy" (James Walter, ed., p. 21). Field's own biographical works are distinguished by stylistic and formal innovation, a practice that has been met with both praise and criticism.
Field began exploring the life and work of Djuna Barnes in the mid-1970s, and his research for Djuna: The Formidable Miss Barnes (alternately entitled Djuna: The Life and Times of Djuna Barnes in Putnam's first American edition) began in earnest in 1977. The book was published in 1983, shortly after Barnes's death in 1982; was translated into French, Italian, and Spanish; and was republished in paperback edition by the University of Texas Press in 1985.
Another of Field's book-length publications, The Lost Chronicle of Edward de Vere: Lord Great Chamberlain Seventeenth Earl of Oxford, Poet and Playwright William Shakespeare, is a biographical novel published by Viking in England in 1990. Field has published many articles about Nabokov, Barnes, and biographical narrative in journals including Quadrant, Meanjin, TriQuarterly, New Leader, and Partisan Review. He was a prolific newspaper essayist for the Courier-Mail (Brisbane, Queensland, Australia) from 1992 until 1999 and continues to write regular travel articles for the same paper. Field and his wife reside in Paddington, Queensland, Australia.
Scope and Contents of the Collection
The Papers of Andrew Field include materials gathered and produced during the research, writing, and publication of Field's biography ofDjuna Barnes, Djuna: The Formidable Miss Barnes. The collection includes items dated from 1916 to 1989, with the bulk of materials dating, from 1978 to 1982, when Field was researching and writing the biography. There are manuscripts of the biography in various states as well as correspondence with individuals who were witnesses of Djuna Barnes's life, with other biographers of early twentieth century New York and Paris cultural figures, and with institutions and repositories that hold archival records. There are also research notes, notes from primary interviews, clippings, photocopies of articles, genealogical documents, book reviews, photographs, and publications of other writers gathered during research. Of particular value are individual copies from the chapbook series Bruno's Weekly and Bruno's in which three examples of Barnes's writing and illustration appeared. Copies of these rare publications are not among the materials in the Papers of Djuna Barnes held by the University of Maryland Libraries. The collection also contains correspondence from Djuna Barnes to several of the individuals Field contacted while working on the biography.
Custodial History and Acquisition Information
The University of Maryland, College Park, Libraries acquired the collection from Andrew Field in May 2003.
Processing Information
Guide Compiled by Megan McShea, June 2004; updated by Mike Yates, August 2005; updated by Lara D'Agaro, August 2007
Andrew Field shipped the collection to the University of Maryland libraries in May 2003, having previously sent an inventory of the collection to the Curator of Literary Manuscripts. Shortly after its arrival, the collection was re-housed in archival storage boxes until processing began in October 2003. A preliminary inventory was created by checking the contents of the boxes against the Field inventory. Paper clips, staples, and rubber bands were removed from the collection. When necessary, letters were removed from envelopes and flattened, and folded paper was also flattened. Fragile documents were placed in polyester sleeves to prevent damage from handling. Water damage was discovered in some of the papers, and there was evidence of mold on approximately ten items. Notes and facsimile reproductions of documents with mold were photocopied and the originals discarded. Original records with mold were surface-cleaned and encapsulated to prevent the spread of mold to other papers. One letter with mold was deemed to have significant intrinsic value and was treated by a conservator for mold remediation, and the original was retained. During the period when mold-affected documents were separated from the collection, photocopies were made to hold the document's place in the collection. Photographs were sorted; duplicate copy prints discarded; and all photographs were placed in polyester sleeves to prevent damage from handling. The final arrangement of the collection, partly suggested by the Field inventory and the original order of the collection, was created by staff during processing.
EAD markup created using EAD database in Microsoft Access. Markup completed by Lara D'Agaro, August 2007.
Arrangement of Collection
This collection has been divided into seven series.
