Series II, Writings

Encompassing all of Leonard's career, this series is divided into several subseries by genre and chronology, following Leonard's own arrangement. The first two subseries constitute the bulk of Leonard's writing: drafts and published clippings of Leonard's reviews and essays, grouped chronologically and then alphabetically by author or subject. Later subseries gather together materials not included this arrangement --- consisting most of Leonard's mid- and late-career writing in the 1980s – 2008, working drafts, and other genres (speeches, fiction, nonfiction essay collections). Leonard arranged his materials by filing a draft of a review or essays along with a published clipping of the material. As part of the writing and editing process, Leonard would take extensive notes (handwritten for television and typed for books) and annotate previously written drafts of articles. Occasionally he would file these working notes along with the published piece under the appropriate subheading in "Reviews and Essays." Most unfinished and other working notes can be found under Subseries II.7 "Writing Notes."

This series is divided into several subseries by genre and chronology, following Leonard's own arrangement.


Subseries II.1, Early Writing, 1957-1963

This subseries covers the earliest of Leonard's published writing. It includes his college writing for theHarvard Crimson,his work at University of California, Berkeley for the KPFA radio program, and his early published essays forNational Reviewand other publications.

This subseries is arranged chronologically.

Subseries II.2, Reviews and Essays, 1958-2008, undated, bulk 1970s-1980s

The bulk of this subseries consists of reviews and essays published during Leonard's work withThe New York Times:as a reviewer for the "Daily Books Column," as editors and contributor toThe New York Times Book Reviewfrom 1971-1975, and as a critic and reviewer from 1976-1981. The material is broken up into three larger subsections: Reviews, Essays, and Television writing (which included both Leonard's writing on television and his cultural and literary reviews for broadcast television on CBS "Sunday Morning"). Reviews are arranged alphabetically by either the author or subject of the work under review. Essays are arranged alphabetically by subject. In addition to his writings for TheNew York Times,these files contain writing for other publications and venues as well, including CBS Sunday Morning,New York Magazine, Life Magazine, Ms. Magazine,andVanity Fair,among others. The files themselves include draft typescripts, often accompanied by clippings of the final piece and (occasionally) working notes for the piece.

The material in this subseries maintains Leonard's original arrangement in alphabetical subject files.
