A Descriptive Bibliography of the Manuscript Material in the Rufus Hathaway Collection of Canadian Literature, University of New Brunswick Library

This work was undertaken to supplement the catalogue of the Rufus [Hawtin] Hathaway Collection of Canadian held at the University of New Brunswick. Bound with the UNB copy is a four-page document titled Addenda to the Thesis (completed in 1968) which explains changes in the organization and cataloguing of the collection brought about by its move to the Harriet Irving Library. The authors with the largest representation in the Hathaway collection of Canadian books are Bliss Carman and Sir Charles G.D. Roberts, pointing to the important place New Brunswick, particularly Fredericton, occupied in Canadian letters of the early twentieth century. Other Fredericton authors can be found in the collection, notably Theodore Goodridge Roberts and Francis Sherman.
