PDF《Nancy Hale: A Bibliography》

s Special Collections contain extensive information about both published and unpublished writings. Nancy Hale'

s heirs often provided the author'

s own copies of her published books. Incomplete entries result from the difficulties encountered locating all stories in their original publications. Hale'

s own scrapbooks display published stories clipped by the author without an effort to include the publication'

s name or a date. Those listings are included nonetheless, providing all available information. To eliminate confusion, any missing material is indicated by an asterisk (*) as a reminder that the information is not absent by compiler'

s error. In addition, the symbol + indicates a literary work recorded by a reliable source, but which I have not personally examined. A single + represents a work which appeared on a list of Nancy Hale'

s writings which are held by the University of Virginia. A handwritten notation at the top of the list by Hale demonstrates her involvement in the recording process. The doubled symbol + + indicates writings of Nancy Hale, compiled by the librarians of the Sophia Smith Collection at Smith College, into a document dated March 28, 2000. Unless otherwise noted by bracketed authorial explanation, the appearance of a + after a list item demonstrates that the outside source provided all of the information in that entry. The works are divided into primary published (A) and primary unpublished (B) works, as well as secondary sources (C) and awards (D). Major categories are further subdivided in a fashion appropriate for the material. Unless otherwise indicated, the items under each heading are ordered by date, beginning with the earliest. This list covers work produced by Hale between

1929 and 1980. The bibliography includes all material pertinent to a full understanding of the range of Hale'

s work;

therefore, advertisements she wrote early in her career are included in addition to the more prolific fiction with which she distinguished herself. Hale'

s bibliography is a work in progress which will expand as more items from her large volume of published and unpublished work are discovered. In general, the early writings record the pulse of young womanhood, while the mature works demonstrate a depth fostered by the support of editors and friends from the highest ranks of the literary world. Her prominence in that world ensures her entitlement to this record of achievement. Norah Lind September
