Shortly after Ernest Hemingway\u2019s death in 1961, his widow, Mary Hemingway, was contacted by the owner of Sloppy Joe\u2019s Bar in Key West, asking her to retrieve the materials that Hemingway had stored there since he moved to Cuba in 1939. With the aid of Hemingway\u2019s longtime Key West friends Toby and Betty Bruce, Mary sorted through mountains of papers and belongings, took what she wished, and left the rest to the Bruces in gratitude for their help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These materials remained in the family\u2019s possession, stored on their property in Key West, for decades until their son, Benjamin \u201cDink\u201d Bruce, decided that they should be in a safer place where they could be of use to scholars. He asked the advice of Sandra Spanier, whom he had allowed to study the collection on site in her work as General Editor of the Hemingway Letters Project. In 2021 the largest known collection of Hemingway materials in private hands came to the Penn State University Special Collections Library, where it was opened for research in 2022.<\/p>\n

Dr. Sandra Spanier will talk about some of her adventures in scholarship (including the discovery of Hemingway\u2019s first short story, written at age 10) and some of the other treasures in this trove of thousands of documents, photographs, and artifacts. This ESU Happy Hour is sponsored by the ESU Central Pennsylvania Branch. ESU Happy Hour programs are online, free, and open to all members and the public. Registration is required. All programs take place on Eastern Time.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n \n\n

About Dr. Sandra Spanier<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

She has a B.A. degree from the University of Illinois at Chicago, and an M.A. and PhD. degrees from Pennsylvania State University.<\/p>\n

Spanier serves on the Editorial Board of The Hemingway Review and was a consultant to the PBS documentary film series HEMINGWAY<\/em>, directed by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick. She has been active in international collaborative efforts to conserve Hemingway\u2019s papers in Cuba and restore his long-time home outside Havana and is a founding member of the Board of the Finca Vig\u00eda Foundation, which works to preserve Hemingway\u2019s legacy in Cuba.<\/p>\n

In addition to Hemingway, her research has focused on American women writers. Spanier\u2019s Kay Boyle: Artist and Activist<\/em> (1986), was the first book about the life and work of Kay Boyle (1902- 1992), a distinguished and prolific writer whose work merits wider recognition. She also edited and introduced Boyle\u2019s Life Being the Best and Other Stories<\/em> (1988) and Process: A Novel<\/em> (2001) \u2013Boyles long-lost first novel, the manuscript missing since the 1920s until Spanier discovered it in an archive. Her authorized edition of Boyles letters, Kay Boyle: A Twentieth- Century Life in Letters,<\/em> Selected Letters 1919-1992<\/em>, was published in 2015.<\/p>\n

Spanier has also written about journalist and fiction writer Martha Gellhorn (1908-1998), who did not wish to be remembered as Hemingway\u2019s third wife. She worked with Gellhorn to bring into print her previously unpublished 1946 play Love Goes to Press: A Comedy in Three Acts<\/em> (1995; revised edition. 2010)\u2014a comic battle of the sexes set during World War II, featuring two women war correspondents and the ex-husband of one, whom she had divorced on the grounds of plagiarism. The play, a hit in London in 1946 and a flop on Broadway in 1947, was produced to critical acclaim in 2012 by the Mint Theater in New York.<\/p>\n
