 Descriptive Summary Ms. 7 Lanier (Sidney) 1842-1881 Papers 1838-1972 Lanier, Sidney, 1842-1881 Johns Hopkins University. Special Collections 45 document boxes, 5 flat boxes (21.75 linear feet) English The collection spans the years 1838 to 1972. The material consists of correspondence, prose, poetry, lecture and music manuscripts, photographs, and newspaper clippings. The correspondence gives a rounded picture of Lanier's life and work. Many of his outgoing letters as well as incoming are included in this collection. Most of Lanier's adult life was marked by a continuous struggle against poor health and financial straits. He was forced to undertake many journeys for the sake of his health, and his efforts to support himself and his family were a constant strain. The correspondence between Lanier and his wife and family present a vivid portrait of his personality. His fight against disease and poverty is indirectly reflected in his poetry, but there is always a strong note of courage and optimism. Lanier's letters begin during his days as a Confederate soldier and prisoner-of-war, but most letters are from 1870 through 1881. During the period 1873 to 1877 when Lanier spent the fall and winter in Baltimore, his letters detail his musical and literary activities in that city. People mentioned include Leonce Rabillon, Innes Randolph, William Hand Browne, Edward Spencer, John Banister Tabb, Richard Malcolm Johnston, Severn Teackle Wallis, Henry Wysham, and Otto Sutro. Lanier's incoming letters from friends and fellow musicians and authors complement Lanier's letters to his family. Musicians with whom Lanier was in contact included Mme. Auerbach, Dudley Buck, Asger Hamerik, Theodore Thomas, and Carl Wehner. Through the efforts of Lanier's family after his death, the collection contains nearly all Lanier's extant prose, poetry, and music manuscripts. There are drafts, finished manuscripts, proofs, and printed copies. These are found in Series 4, 5 and 10. A considerable portion of the collection deals with Lanier's family's efforts to have him and his work recognized. Series 7 Memorials contains letters, clippings, and printed material from numerous celebrations held in Lanier's honor. Mary Day Lanier's correspondence outside of her letters from Sidney largely deal with her efforts to have Lanier's work published. Administrative Information Provenance

It appears that some Lanier material was owned by the Johns Hopkins University in the 1890s. Whether this was left by Lanier at his death or donated by the family is unclear. The bulk of the papers in this collection, however, were donated to the Johns Hopkins University in 1940 by Charles D. Lanier. These were materials by and about Sidney Lanier which the family had collected. More material about Lanier and tributes to him were added to this initial collection by numerous donors notably Lanier biographers Edward Mims and Aubrey H. Starke. This material includes photocopies of Lanier material owned by other libraries. In 1991 the contents of Sidney Lanier's desk and trunk which had been in storage were added to the collection.

Biographical Note

Sidney Lanier was born in Macon, Georgia on February 3, 1842, the son of Robert Sampson Lanier and Mary Jane Anderson Lanier. He attended the Bibb County Male Academy and in 1857 entered the sophomore class of Oglethorp University in Milledgeville, Georgia. He graduated from Oglethorp in 1860 and was a tutor there from 1860-61.

On July 10, 1861 Lanier enrolled as a private in the Macon Volunteers C.S.A. In the autumn of 1862 he transferred to the Signal corps and in 1863 while stationed at Fort Boykin, he began writing his first novel Tiger-Lilies which was published in 1867. Detailed to a blockade runner, Sidney Lanier was captured on November 6, 1864 and imprisoned at Point Lookout, Maryland. In the rigorous conditions of this camp he contracted tuberculosis. He was exchanged in February 1865 and returned to Macon. From 1865 to 1868 Lanier was a tutor, hotel clerk, and finally principal of an academy in Prattville, Alabama. He studied law under his father and practiced law as his health permitted from 1869 until 1873. For his health Lanier spent the winter of 1872- 73 in San Antonio, Texas.

In 1873 Lanier began his association with Baltimore. He came to Baltimore to play first flute in Asger Hamerik's Peabody Orchestra. For four seasons Lanier took a room in Baltimore, played in the orchestra and at the end of the season returned to his family in Georgia. During this period Lanier became acquainted with the Wednesday Club where he met Baltimore's leading literary and musical figures such as Leonce Rabillon, Innes Randolph, William Hand Browne, Edward Spencer, John Banister Tabb, Richard Malcolm Johnston, Severn Teackle Wallis, Henry Wysham, and Otto Sutro.

The years Lanier divided between Baltimore and Georgia were productive ones. He began to write poetry again publishing "Corn" and "The Symphony" in 1875, and "Cantata," "The Psalm of the West," "Clover," "The Waving of the Corn," and Poems all of which appeared in 1876. He also composed music, and he was commissioned to write the travel book Florida which was published in 1875.

Lanier moved his family to Baltimore in 1877. To supplement his income he taught at several private schools. In November 1878 Lanier gave a course on Shakespeare at the Peabody Institute. He then lectured at the newly organized Johns Hopkins University on "English Verse, Especially Shakespeare's" (1879), "Chaucer and Shakespeare" (1880), and "The English Novel" (1881). During this period Lanier published many poems including "The Revenge of Hamish" and "The Marshes of Glynn" in 1878 and "Sunrise" and "A Ballad of Trees and the Master" in 1880. He also completed The Science of English Verse (1880), and edited The Boy's King Arthur (1880), The Boy's Froissart (1879), "The Boy's Mabinogion," and "The Boy's Percy."

Lanier had been in ill-health for several years when he began a serious decline in 1881. He sought relief in the hills of North Carolina where died September 7. He was buried in Greenmount Cemetery in Baltimore. Lanier was survived by his wife Mary Day whom he had married in 1867 and their four sons Charles Day (b. 1868), Sidney (b. 1870), Henry Wysham (b. 1873), and Robert Sampson (b. 1880).

Sidney Lanier gave several series of lectures in Baltimore between 1878 and 1881. There were public lectures and lectures to students at The Johns Hopkins University. The two main topics were the development of English verse from old English up to Shakespeare and his contemporaries and the development of the English novel.

Included in this series are three sets of lectures. The first is a series of 24 lectures on Shakespeare and his contemporaries given to the public at the Peabody Institute in 1878-79. In 1879 Lanier delivered a series of lectures at The Johns Hopkins University under the title "English Verse, Especially Shakespeare's." The third set of lectures in this series is for a course given at Hopkins in 1881 entitled "From Aeschylus to George Eliot: Twelve Studies in the Modern English Novel as a Development of the Greek Drama." There are also several other lectures on similar topics including "The Physics of Poetry" and the "Sonnet-Makers from Surrey to Shakespeare." Many of these lectures appeared in book form in The Science of English Verse (1880), The English Novel and the Principle of Its Development (1883), and Shakespeare and His Forerunners (1902).

The majority of these papers are Mary Day Lanier's incoming letters either from her husband Sidney or about him after his death. Mary's letters to Sidney are in Series 2 and to his brother Clifford in Series 1. There are letters from other family members such as her brother-in-law Clifford, her father Charles Day and her brother Henry. Henry was attached to General Breckinridge's corps and set three letters (1863) describing army life including a map of the engagement at Lookout Mountain outside Chattanooga. Other frequent correspondents were Gibson Peacock, Charles Scribner's Sons, John Banister Tabb, Marie Taylor, and William Hayes Wood. Francese L. Turnbull returned the letters Mary Day and Sidney Lanier wrote to her. These letters (1879-1915 ca. 100 items) are in this series with the letters the Turnbulls wrote to Mary Day.

There are a few of Mary's writings as well as manuscript and printed copies of The Laurel: An Ode (1889) written to Mary Day Lanier by Richard Hovey. There is also a poem by her son Robert entitled "The Master Color-Scheme."

In this series are over 170 published articles. Some articles are those published by Lanier during his lifetime, and other articles are those written by his many admirers which describe Lanier the man and his art. Some of the material had been collected by Lanier family members and Lanier's biographers. It was later presented to the University library and was included in the memorial areas named for Lanier. Most recently, this collection was partly stored at Evergreen and partly in Rare Books. In 1993, all the items were removed to Manuscripts. Some articles were bound separately, but many single journal issues which included an article were also bound. All articles have either been removed from bindings or photocopied and are filed in folders in Box 12.1. The bound volumes have been retained and are stored in Boxes 12.2 and 12.3. A complete bibliography is found in the Container List.Some of this material was assembled during the tenure of librarian, Frieda C. Thies (1880-1983). A Lanier bibliography prepared by Miss Thies is included in the Frieda C. Thies Papers. Ms. 79.
