 Biographical Note

John Towner Frederick (1893 -- 1975) was born in Corning, Iowa. He graduated from the University of Iowa in 1915 and received his M.A. two years later. Frederick was the founder and editor of The Midland, a magazine devoted to regional literature. Published from 1915 -- 1933 it was highly respected. H.L. Mencken once called The Midland "the most important literary magazine in America."

In 1921, Frederick joined the faculty in the department of English at Iowa. He stayed there until 1930, with the exception of one year spent teaching at the University of Pittsburgh. Frederick then began dividing his time between Northwestern University and the University of Notre Dame. In addition to teaching at these two institutions, from 1937 -- 1940 he was the regional director of the WPA Writers' Project. In 1945, he left Northwestern to become a full-time faculty member at Notre Dame. He was appointed chairman of the English department and held this post until his retirement in 1962. After "retiring" Frederick returned to the University of Iowa as a visiting professor, where in 1973 he was named a Distinguished Alumni.

John T. Frederick authored novels, including Druida (1923) and Green Bush (1925), four college textbooks and numerous poems, articles, and short stories and criticism. Yet, he will always best be remembered for The Midland.

Scope and Contents

The John T. Frederick papers consist of fifty-four boxes of documents dating from 1908 -- 1975. Arranged chronologically within an alphabetical sequence are subject files containing such material as diaries, research notes, lectures, speeches, articles, etc. There are numerous boxes of correspondence which include letters from: H.L. Mencken, Thomas Mann, Edward J. O'Brien, Ruth Suckow, Marquis W. Childs, James Hearst, Wallace Stegner, Robert Nathan, Arna Bontemps, Paul Corey, Leo R. Ward, Savoie Lottinville, William J. Petersen, John C. Gerber, Leedice Kissane, Mildred Wedel, Howard R. Bowen, Julie McDonald, Dow Mossman, Sargent Bush, O M Brack, Iduna Bertel Field, and others. Manuscript material, such as early drafts and galley proofs from many of his books, including Druida, Green Bush, and A Handbook for Short Story Writing, helps document his writing career. There is also a nearly complete run of The Midland.
