Scope and Contents
From the notes of Dr. Catherine Perry: These materials relate directly to those found in MSE/MD 2819-049-B on the split between the French author René Benjamin (1885-1948) and Anna de Noailles, and the ultimately successful efforts of the French poet and literary critic Jean Tenant (1885-1986) to reconcile the two. It includes original and copies of letters as well as a copy of a radio interview on the subject given by Tenant in 1953, with an added autograph note by Tenant.
