Series Description:

From the Series:

Essays and short stories by Coffin on various subjects, 1923-51 and undated. Most were published in scholarly journals or popular magazines; several were later collected into books of essays, including An Attic Room, A Book of Uncles and Mainestays of Maine. The majority are typescripts or carbon typescripts, although some are manuscripts, proof copies, or printed texts. The alphabetically arranged essays are followed by mixed notebooks ([1930]-51 and undated) and newspaper clippings (1922-47 and undated) arranged chronologically. Several of the essays refer to events and people in the history of Bowdoin and Wells colleges, others are on literary topics, the state of Maine, or personal reminiscences.
