Notes The primary sources of this biography are the Olga Rudge Papers, Yale Collection of American Literature (MSS54 YCAL), Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library (herein cited as ORP/YCAL); family memorabilia in three old trunks that I was privileged to research at Brunnenburg during OR’s lifetime, now held by the Beinecke Library (cited as 1996 addition, ORP/YCAL); the Ezra Pound Collection (MSS53 YCAL: Series 2, Family correspondence, also held by the Beinecke Library, herein cited as EPC/YCAL; and MSS52 YCAL, cited as the EPAnnex). Series 1 (ORP1): The Rudge–Pound correspondence, interfiled and chronologically arranged in Boxes 1–32. (I have followed the original text, omitting the use of [sic] when punctuation and spelling are idiosyncratic.) Series 2 (ORP2): General correspondence (Boxes 33–92) of OR and others is alphabetically arranged under correspondent’s name (third-party correspondence in Boxes 91–92). Series 3 (ORP3): Notebooks are divided into two sections: I Ching notebooks (Boxes 93–99), daily records of the years 1966–86 arranged chronologically, containing flashbacks to earlier events recollected by OR in later life; and Research notebooks (Boxes 99–101), transcripts of important correspondence and materials collected by OR ‘‘to set the record straight,’’ arranged alphabetically by title or subject). 291
292 Notes Series 4 (ORP4): Personal papers (Boxes 102–24), writings, memorabilia, and notes, OR’s further attempts to document her life. Series 5 (ORP5): Financial papers (Boxes 119–26), bills and receipts, leases, EP’s funeral expenses, etc., arranged alphabetically by type of material. Series 6 (ORP6): Printed material (Boxes 127–34); and Series 7 (ORP7), Newspaper clippings (Boxes 135–41), collected by OR and arranged alphabetically by subject and type of material. Series 8 (ORP8): Music (Boxes 142–47), an important section documenting OR’s musical career, scrapbooks, notices, and clippings of OR’s early performance history, concert programs, Vivaldi research, the history of the Concerti Tigulliani, arranged alphabetically by subject and type of material. Series 9 (ORP9): (Boxes 148–54), photographs of OR and EP, family members and friends, notables in the music world and other world figures; two early albums of Olga and friends at Capri (1921) and others in the mid-1920s and 1930s. Series 10 (ORP10): (Box 155), Rudge family correspondence, childhood photos of OR and her parents; Julia O’Connell’s scrapbook of her singing career. At the head of each chapter’s notes I have noted principal sources for that chapter. Quotations from these sources are not cited, assuming the reader will have no di≈culty in tracing them in the principal source.
