Tennessee Williams was born Thomas Lanier Williams in Columbus, Mississippi on March 26 1911 the son of Cornelius C. Williams a shoe salesman and Edwina Dakin the daughter of an Episcopalian minister. Williams received a BA from the University of Iowa in 1938 and supported by odd jobs set out immediately to become a writer. He first gained fame with The Glass Menagerie in 1945. The play drew on his family experience as would much of his subsequent writings--an absent father an eccentric Southern belle mother a shy troubled sister all seen through the eyes of the sensitive artist brother.
The Glass Menagerie was followed by a succession of hits which securely established Williams' reputation as a major American playwright: A Streetcar Named Desire; Summer and Smoke; The Rose Tattoo; Camino Real; Cat on a Hot Tin Roof; Suddenly Last Summer; Sweet Bird of Youth; and Night of the Iguana. He received the New York Drama Critics Circle Award four times--for The Glass Menagerie in 1945 A Streetcar Named Desire in 1948 Cat on a Hot Tin Roof in 1955 and Night of the Iguana in 1962. He won the Pulitzer Prize in 1948 for A Streetcar Named Desire and in 1955 for Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.
Williams' subsequent works failed to achieve the critical and popular success of his earlier writings. In 1963, his longtime companion Frank Merlo died of lung cancer and Williams spun into a depression that lingered through the rest of the 1960s a period he called his stoned age. Williams had met Merlo in 1948 after A Streetcar Named Desire had opened to accolades. At the time he was financially secure his career in the capable hands of his manager Audrey Woods. Merlo added order to Williams' restless and disorganized personal life. The two set up house in Key West in 1950 and the Duncan Street residence became home base though Williams never stayed in one place for long. In the early 1960s Williams's relationship with Merlo became strained but after Merlo was diagnosed with cancer Williams nursed him and was devastated by his loss. Despite his long malaise Williams continued to write almost every day producing different versions of The Milk Train Doesn't Stop Here Anymore Slapstick Tragedy The Kingdom of Earth The Two Character Play and In the Bar of a Tokyo Hotel all of which failed to capture the critics or the public. In 1969 Williams who had long been using alcohol and drugs to excess collapsed and his brother Dakin had him institutionalized. After his release Williams' ambition to repeat his earlier successes returned. He wrote and revised among other works The Two Character Play Small Craft Warnings Eccentricities of a Nightingale from Summer and Smoke The Red Devil Battery Sign Vieux Carre Creve Coeur Tiger Tail from Baby Doll Clothes for a Summer Hotel A House Not Meant To Stand and Something Cloudy Something Clear.
Though Williams' plays in the last 20 years of his life failed to find an audience he was still considered one of the finest American playwrights based on his previous reputation. His earlier plays were constantly revived and played all over the world. He received honorary doctorates from several universities the Gold medal for drama from the National Institute of Arts and Letters in 1961 the Kennedy Honors Award from the Kennedy Center in 1979 and the Medal of Freedom from President Carter in 1980. Also in 1980 the Florida Keys Community College opened the Tennessee Williams Performing Arts Center. Tennessee Williams died at the Hotel Elysee in New York on February 24 1983.
Beginning in the 1970s, the Rare Book and Manuscript Library collected Tennessee Williams materials through purchase. By 1990, the library had acquired a substantial collection of scripts, production material, photographs and correspondence. The largest part of the present collection was purchased from the Tennessee Williams estate in 1994 and consists primarily of material found in the Key West house. Shortly thereafter, a small collection of family letters dating from Williams' early life was purchased from his brother Dakin through Sotheby's.
Most of the material is dated from 1942 to 1982 though there are mementos, such as photographs of Williams' family, which date earlier. The manuscripts by Williams are primarily from the 1960s to 1982. There are six series: Correspondence; Works; Personal; Works by Other Authors; Photographs; and Audiotapes. The archive contains notes, diaries, drafts, re-writes, scripts, typescripts, programs, flyers, ads, clippings, art work, tapes, notebooks, awards, photographs and realia. Since the material was received in no discernable order, an arrangement has been imposed to facilitate access. It is organized either alphabetically or chronologically as described in the series notes. The provenance of the purchase is noted in brackets following the material to which it belongs. If there is no acquisition number, the material is from the Key West estate purchase. The Dakin Williams purchase is identified by its own subseries.
