| dc.description.abstract | Students in Dr. Stephen Rust’s course “Researching Oregon Writers” examined a digitized mini-archive of materials prepared during the Covid-19 crisis by the Knight Library Special Collections with the goal of better understanding how archival materials can shape and reshape our thinking about an author’s life and literary works. Items include personal correspondence between Ken Kesey and friend Ken Babbs composed while Kesey was writing One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest (1962), correspondence between Ursula K. Le Guin and literary agent Virginia Kidd while Le Guin was writing The Left Hand of Darkness (1969), and manuscript pages from each novel. Their posters will blend of select images from the digital mini-archive to and written elements of humanities research posters along with virtual audio presentations. We hope these poster presentations will inspire viewers to appreciate the value of archives for preserving literary and cultural history and open new perspectives into Le Guin and Kesey’s life and work. Zoe Whittington, Jacob Smith, and Donovan Muniz hope to learn more about the impact of 1960s Sexual Revolution on Le Guin’s writing and her development of a genderless society in The Left Hand of Darkness. | en_US |
